New Release Tuesday

 


One False Move- A small town police chief awaits the arrival of a gang of killers.  This is probably the release of the year because this has been out of print a long time and teased over the last few years and Criterion finally put it out.  Some might argue this is Billy Bob Thorton’s best screenplay compared to Slingblade but is has been so long since I have seen this I need to spin it to decide for myself.  I sure miss Bill Paxton.  Highly recommended.  



Needful Things- A mysterious new shop opens in a small town which always seems to stock the deepest desires of each shopper, with a price far heavier than expected.  Stephen King movies were coming out in bundles in the 90s and I have not seen this since it was in theaters, but I remember liking it quite a bit.


Justice League: Warworld- Warworld, a place of unending brutal gladiatorial combat, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and others must unite to form an unbeatable resistance to lead the entire planet to freedom.  DC is being rebooted so it will be interesting to see if these animated movies will continue to be released.  Most of these have been better than the live action stuff.  Looking at you Blue Beetle.



My Best Friend is a Vampire- After a sexual encounter with a beautiful client, a teenage delivery boy finds himself being turned into a vampire.  I have been loving these Vestron releases and I do not recall this one at all but the original poster art does look familiar.  If Wal Mart has this it is coming home.



The Anderson Tapes- After ten years in prison to protect a mafia family, Duke Anderson is released and he cashes in a debt of honor with the mob to bankroll a caper.  Sean Connery in the mob?  I am all in on this action flick that I never saw.
