New Release Tuesday



Ash has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead until a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind and Ash becomes mankind's only hope. I have been waiting a long time for this to be a movie but I will take it in a series form too and I am still waiting for the Amazon man right now.  This looks really groovy.



This is about a mismatched pair of private eyes investigate the apparent suicide of a porn star in 1970s Los Angeles from writer/ director Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Iron Man 3) . This was the best movie of the summer that very few saw and hopefully will it pick up some steam during its home video release.



Eric and fellow warrior Sara, raised as members of ice Queen Freya's army, try to conceal their forbidden love as they fight to survive the wicked intentions of both Freya and her sister Ravenna.  I enjoyed the first one even if it had Kristen Stewart in it and I hear this is more like a live version of Frozen.  I like Chris Hemsworth but I am getting concerned he cannot carry a movie other than Marvel movies.  Have I mentioned Mrs. Gauntlet would drop me in a second for THOR?



This is a pretty good show and whoever the showrunner is now is doing a good job of not dragging things out like his predecessor as this show has trimmed the fat and gets right to the point.  I need to watch the season finale again just so I can watch Abraham say “Bitchnuts”.  The group is finally confronted by a new enemy in the season finale and someone pays with their life.  I am guessing Eugene, your thoughts?



This second season took a while to get moving but once it got on track it was really good.  The vampires in this are awesome and I really appreciate the detail given to them in their backstories.  I am also glad Corey Stoll had to change his appearance and ditched the wig as that was the most awful thing about season one.  Kevin Durand is really good in this as Fet and be sure to watch the new season that starts this Sunday on FX.



Norman Bates recalls his days as a young boy living with his schizophrenic mother while fearing his unborn child will inherit his split personality disorder.  This was a Showtime production so I had to wait for it to come out on VHS and at the time I was not very impressed with it.  It looked cheap and just had Anthony Perkins talking on the phone most of the time while having ET’s Henry Thomas play a young Norman in flashbacks at the Universal Studios lot with the Psycho house.  I have a different appreciation for this movie now as I see what director Mick Garris was going for now in showing us how Norman became the killer he grew up to be.  This is a Scream Factory release so it should look and sound great and be packed with some good extras.
