New Release Tuesday

This may well be a top five super hero movie already after one viewing in the theater.  This thing plays like a 70s spy/ espionage movie and it even has Robert Redford in it to back that up even further.  And to top all that off Captain America is in this!  I also have to applaud Marvel for finally getting Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury character something to do in one of these flicks.  This is a great flick with great action, smart writing, and a fantastic adversary in the Winter Soldier and some other surprises.  Highly recommended.

A man conjures up a gigantic vengeance demon called Pumpkinhead to destroy the teenagers who accidentally killed his son.  I never saw this.  I have always heard great things about this and have been on the lookout for a cheap DVD copy that was not full screen but when Scream Factory announced this title I decided to wait and watch it in all of it HD glory.  Stars the great Lance Henriksen and was directed by the late great make-up /special effects guru Stan Winston.  It;s from Scream Factory so it will rock!!!

A masked killer stalks four teenagers, responsible for the accidental death of a little girl six years earlier, at their high school's senior prom.  This came out during the apex of horror movies and it is considered not great but not bad either.  If Scream Queen Jaime Lee Curtis was not in it this little movie it would probably not be considered at all.

Paramount’s version of an apology that has both Star Trek reboot movies with all special features included.  When Into Darkness came out the studio whored out different special features all over the place from Target to iTunes, a huge mess that got many of the fans’ attention.  Take notice studios: If we pay for a disc we should get all features available. 

This is a huge surprise today.  That little band from Ireland has been saying they had a new album coming out this year and they shocked the world by releasing it today exclusively on iTunes and for free.  Yep, free.  I am still reviewing it but I am a physical media kind of guy so I am missing the actual disc right now.
