New Release Tuesday
I don't know why I keep saying I am working from home, that is boring. I am now officially renaming home "The Batcave" from now on. There were some good titles that came out last week. I could only find one of them in stores so it looks like Mr. Amazon will be getting some orders. Let's see what came out:
The Marksman- A rancher
on the Arizona border becomes the unlikely defender of a young Mexican boy
desperately fleeing the cartel assassins who've pursued him into the U.S. I like all these Liam Neeson action
flicks. This one seems like a current
event so I have acquired this and will be spinning it soon.
Justice Society: War
World II: The Justice Society of America , a group of heroes aiding the allies
in World War 2, acquire an ally from the future who sends them on an adventure
that changes history. DC still makes
really good animated movies so I have high hopes for this one.
King Kong- A petroleum
exploration expedition comes to an isolated island and encounters a colossal
giant gorilla. I loved this movie as a
kid then watched it later on in life and did not care for it. Shout Factory put this out so I am really
interested in picking this up. I feel I
may like it better nowadays. Especially
since a learned that that is make-up guru Rick Baker in the monkey costume.
Tank- Sergeant Major Zack
arrives at a new army base with his wife, son and Sherman tank. One night at a
bar he prevents a pimp/deputy from beating a girl. The corrupt sheriff uses
Zack's son for revenge and Zack uses his tank for his revenge. I have not see this since its HBO days and I
leaning towards picking this up also because I thought it was a solid Garner
flick.
Cosmic Sin- Seven rogue
soldiers launch a preemptive strike against a newly discovered alien
civilization in the hopes of ending an interstellar war before it starts. One of these Bruce Willis movies has to be
descent, don’t they? This one looked
positive until I saw the 2.5 IMDB rating.
I do not usually go by those ratings but I rarely see them that low. Viewer beware. Remember when Bruce Willis was cool?

New Release Tuesday
We are going thru tornado season here in Texas right now but so far all is good here. I am still fighting the battle from home and may keep that up for awhile longer. I still get out and cruise Wal Marts and Targets for physical media and there is not much out there. Both stores have reduced what they carry and Target is getting so bad I am not sure why I keep going there. There is an actual new release this week and some oldies, let's check them out:
The Little Things- Kern
County Deputy Sheriff Joe Deacon is sent to Los Angeles for what should have
been a quick evidence-gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in
the search for a serial killer who is terrorizing the city. I missed this on HBO Max when it was out and
I regret that because this was a good looking serial killer movie with a great
cast.
Hellfighters- The
adventures of oil well fire specialist Chance Buckman (based on real-life Red
Adair), who extinguishes massive fires in oil fields around the world. This is not the best Dule Wayne movie but he
was trying something different here besides a cowboy or a cop and it is not too
bad.
Cool As Ice- A rapper
gets stuck in a small town and falls for a local girl whose family is in
witness protection. Man, I loved Vanilla
Ice back in 1991. I had all sorts of different
versions of Ice Ice Baby on cassette tape.
I never saw this and the 2.9 IMDB rating is the lowest I think I have
seen for a studio movie. I am still passing
on this one but may have to see if I still have those cassettes. Uh, what I am going to play them on?
Scars of War Set- A nice
looking set of descent war movies. Alamo
Bay alone goes for $30 and this set is $15 so this is quite a bargain.
