New Release Tuesday

 

The Adventures of Batman- The Dynamic Duo battles crime in Gotham City.  This is a Warner Archive blu release of the 1968 show.  It is nowhere near the quality of Batman: The Animated series but I am a sucker for all Batman.

Detective Knight: Independence- Detective James Knight's last-minute assignment to the Independence Day shift turns into a race against time to stop an unbalanced EMT worker who's posing as a cop.  This was listed as Bruno’s last movie for a while, but another has popped up and that will be his bow out.  The first Detective Knight movie was not bad, I have not seen the second one yet.  So I am invested in this trilogy so bring this one on!

Little Dixie- Doc facilitates a fragile truce between the Governor and Cartel, trading prosecutorial leniency for finance. With no more truce, Doc is left to fend for himself and protect the one untainted thing in his life: his daughter, Little Dixie.  Well known jerk Grillo has 13 movie/tv shows due this year.  Will any of them be any good?  Probably not.

The Quiet Man- A retired American boxer returns to the village of his birth in 1920s Ireland, where he falls for a spirited redhead whose brother is contemptuous of their union.  I am always glad to see John Wayne movies get released on blu ray and this is one of his best from director John Ford.  Bring on The Shootist please.
