New Release Tuesday

I love director Adam Green because the dude is living the dream!  He’s made 9 movies, a TV series, has an awesome podcast, and his own production company.  After you read those stats most people think he must be rolling in the dough but no he is a normal dude working in Hollywood trying to make ends meet.  He seems to be a guy that puts his hard earned money back into his own product and I salute him for that. 
This is a documentary exploring a genre based monster art that takes an odd turn when the filmmakers are contacted by a man who claims he can prove that monsters are indeed real.  This has a great lineup for horror icons like Kane Hodder, Ray Wise, Tom Holland, Green himself and many more so check it out.   You can pick up the DVD at Wal Mart, get the blu ray from Amazon, or order an autographed copy from Green’s own website (Like me) here: http://ariescope.com/

About five years ago I finally got around to watching all the LoTRs and came away just kind of meh.  They looked great and had fantastic action sequences but I felt like I am watching a video game.  I will get around to watching these one of these days.

A witch tasks a childless baker and his wife with procuring magical items from classic fairy tales to reverse the curse put on their family tree.  I am probably going to pass on this musical.

A retired American boxer returns to the village where he was born in Ireland, where he finds love.  This is directed by the great John Ford and stars The Duke and Maureen O’Hara.  It features a great love story and some of the best scenery you will ever see on film.  Highly recommended.  

After a near-fatal plane crash in WWII, Olympian Louis Zamperini spends a harrowing 47 days in a raft with two fellow crewmen before he's caught by the Japanese navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.  This is a good looking real life story directed by Ms. Brad Pitt.  It’s from Hollywood so they had to remove all the Christian elements of the story and seeing what Zamperini went through I am pretty sure he leaned on his faith quite a bit during these harrowing situations in his life.  That is quite a shame.
