Looney Tunes Volume 1- If you like the classic WB tunes then go get this because this or old DVDs are the only way you can watch these since HBO, Max, or whatever it is called removed them. This is selling so well that Volume 2 is already in the works.
Jaws- When a massive killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, it's up to the local police chief, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down. This gem just turned 50 last week so this is a great way to celebrate it.
Lethal Weapon- Two newly paired cops who are complete opposites must put aside their differences in order to catch a gang of drug smugglers. Sweet, a Christmas movie in almost July. Like the recent Eastwood 4ks, I am glad the WB is putting out some more classics. This is still one of the best buddy movies ever. I expect the other 3 moves to follow soon. Come on WB! Give us a part 5 before Mel and Danny do get too old for this sh*t. Highly recommended.
Murder, She Wrote- Remember the show your grandparents watched? Well this apparently set a record last week as the largest blu ray release with all of its umpteen hundred episodes and 4 movies on here. Yawn.
Dark City- A man struggles with memories of his past, which include a wife he cannot remember and a nightmarish world no one else ever seems to wake up from. This is one of those movies I have been meaning to give another watch. I did not get it or enjoy it much when it came out so I am hoping maybe I have grown up a bit to enjoy this. Who and I kidding, I will watch Sleepaway Camp 3 again before I get around to this sci-fi flick.
The Monkey- When twin brothers Bill and Hal find their father's old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths start. The siblings decide to throw the toy away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years. Oz Perkins is horror royalty (son of Anhtony Perkins) and he has put out some good stuff recently. Cannot wait to give this a spin.
Sorcerer- Four unfortunate men from different parts of the globe agree to risk their lives transporting gallons of nitroglycerin across dangerous Latin American jungle. Thank you Criterion! A good movie that got lost back in 1977 because it came out a week before this little movie called Star Wars. This William Friedkin flick has really received a lot of love over the past decade and deservedly so. There is not a lot of dialogue in this but Friedkin let the visuals take over and man, what a ride. Literally. The highest of recommendations. And what do you know, the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale starts tomorrow!
