New Release Tuesday

If you like Westerns then you will love AMC’s Hell on Wheels. I called season 4 of this great show Escape from the Mormons but our hero Cullen Bohannan is far too good of a family man for such an escape.  After a brief stint of living with the Mormons with his new wife and baby Cullen decides it’s time to get back to Hell on Wheels to get the railroad back on track for the race to California. Cullen has a hard time getting his old job back from railroad dictator Durant but after some hard grunt work and some good ideas he earns his way back.  During this time he is noticing his Mormon wife is an outsider among the railroad town and decides she needs to go home with her people.  This is only a sampling of season 4 as there are many more story lines and characters that pass through town.  Highly recommended.

This is a story of macho oil well firefighters and their wives.  The Duke would try something different every once in a while to mix in with all of his Westerns and I remember this one fondly.  This also stars the beautiful Katharine Ross and features stunts by the late, great Hal Needham.

I do not keep up with the NBA anymore and I especially did not follow the Knicks.

Two adults and a juvenile burglar break into a house occupied by a brother and sister and their stolen children and can't escape.  This horror flick was directed by Wes Craven and is a really good time.  Scream Factory brings is this to us so it will look and sound great and will be filled with extra features galore.

A widower returns to his hometown to search for answers to his wife's murder, which may be linked to the ghost of a murdered ventriloquist.  This is from the director and writer from the original Saw and is a great, spooky story.  Remember the old ventriloquist horror shows and movies from the 70s?  Those dolls and clowns still creep me out.
