Keyword View: films DVD Review ROLLING THUNDER (BLU-RAY) Famous for being one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films, it seems only fitting that this flick makes its way to Blu-ray from the edgy, always-reliable Shout! Factory. I'm really looking forward to what QT loves so much about this. Review Coming Soon... DVD Review PIERRE ETAIX (BLU-RAY) I'd honestly never heard of Pierre Etaix prior to learning of this Criterion Collection release, but after hearing him compared to legendary physical comedians Jacques Tati and Jerry Lewis, I can't wait to delve into all eight of the films in this robust, nicely-packaged set. Review Coming Soon... PR Spring Breakers on Blu-ray & DVD Jul 9  Brit (Ashley Benson), Faith (Selena Gomez), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) are best friends anxious to cut loose for spring break, but they don't have the money. After holding up a restaurant for quick cash, the girls head to the beach in a stolen car for what they think will be the party of a lifetime...until they're thrown in jail. But they are bailed out by Alien (Franco), a local rapper, drug pusher and arms dealer, who lures them into a criminal underbelly that's as lurid as it is liberating for a close-knit gang of girlfriends who are still figuring out their paths in life. Read More... PR Prank on DVD & Digital Video Jun 18  For anyone who has been victimized by bullying, thoughts of justice can easily be twisted into an obsession for comeuppance. But when does justice turn to revenge? Can 'measure for measure' become a mind-bending thirst for retribution, blurring the lines between perpetrator and victim? Read More... PR No Pryor Restraint: Life In Concert CD/DVD Box Set Out Jun 11  Though he can be described as a comedian, an actor, a writer and a social activist, Richard Pryor was, first and foremost, an artist whose groundbreaking brand of uncompromising humor enriched the lives of millions. With 7 CDs and 2 DVDs that deliver over 12 hours of prime Pryor hilarity spanning 1966-1992--including nearly two hours of previously unreleased stand-up performances and rare recordings from the Pryor archives--this essential collection features the best recordings from his early years as a still-developing stand-up, his '70s and '80s glory years as a profane-but-profound comic icon and one of his final onstage performances in 1992. Read More... PR Nova: Mind of a Rampage Killer on DVD May 28  What makes a person walk into a theater or a church or a classroom full of students and open fire? In the wake of the tragic events in Newtown, a growing body of scientific research is bringing us closer to understanding the complex web of circumstances that can conspire to produce a rampage killer: uncontrolled violent urges, depression, and perceived social isolation. Read More... PR Littlest Pet Shop: Sweetest Pets on DVD Jun 4  Join Blythe as she embarks on five more wild adventures with her newest friends: Pepper, the hilarious skunk; Sunil, the magical mongoose; Penny, the adorable panda; Russell, the highly organized hedgehog; Zoe, the diva Spaniel; and, of course, Minka, the artistic monkey! Read More... DVD Review COMMANDO  This is Arnold during the peak of his career, meaning a constant mix of bloody action sequences and awesomely horrible one-liners. I'm not sure what extra greatness this "Director's Cut" brings, but here's hoping there's at least something interesting in there. Read More... PR The Exorcist in the 21st Century on DVD & Digital May 7  The Church granted filmmakers Fredrik Horn Akselsen and Christian Falch a remarkable degree of access to tell this story, allowing them to accompany one of the few exorcists in Europe, the Vatican-approved Father Jose Antonio Fortea, Catholic priest / Exorcist and author. Father Fortea travels the world on his mission to enlighten the masses about demonic possession and to help fellow exorcists. Father Gabriel Amorth, Official Vatican Exorcist, is also prominently featured in the documentary. He has been an exorcist for 25 years and estimates he has seen 70,000 cases. Read More... PR Dark Skies on Blu-ray & DVD May 28  Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton as a young couple with children living in the suburbs. As husband and wife, Daniel (Hamilton) and Lacy Barrett (Russell) witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family, their safe and peaceful home quickly unravels. When it becomes clear that the Barrett family is being targeted by an unimaginably terrifying and deadly force, Daniel and Lucy take matters in their own hands to solve the mystery of what is after their family. Read More... DVD Review THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (BLU-RAY)  This beautifully restored British comedy has a great deal to say about aging and war without ever losing its light touch. Read More... PR Stand Up Guys on Blu-ray & DVD May 21  Tough but touching film centers on three retired gangsters (Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin) who reunite for one epic final night. However, one of the friends is keeping a dangerous secret - and his time to find an acceptable alternative is running out. As the sun rises on the guys' reunion, their position becomes more and more desperate and they finally confront their pasts once and for all. Read More... PR Exclusive Sneak Peek Next Jack Reacher Book & Special Clip  Fans of best-selling author Lee Child's wildly popular series of Jack Reacher novels have even more reason to celebrate the May 7th Blu-ray and DVD debut of the compelling hero's first feature film. For a limited time, purchasers can download the entire first chapter--weeks before the new novel hits shelves. Also view a Special features clip (from the When the Man Comes Around featurette). Read More... PR Chance to Win a Jack Reacher 1971 Chevelle Starts Today May 6  Paramount is giving fans the chance to win a classic and highly-collectible 1971 Chevelle SS Clone like the one featured in the film's eye-popping car chase. The cherry car has a rebuilt 350 4-speed 9 to 1 compression motor with 400+ horse power and a retail value of $45,000! Read More... DVD Review LIZ & DICK  Exploitive much? Lindsey Lohan brings her tabloid gravitas to a movie picking over the bones of the woman, whose life was the material of tabloid legend. Not very good as a biography, not very good as a movie, this film careens from cringeworthy to boring. For Lohan completists only (or maybe Grant Bowler fans). Read More... PR The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights on DVD Apr 30  During the 1960s, as the executive director of the National Urban League, Whitney Young was one of the few African Americans who had the ear of those who controlled the levers of power: Fortune 500 CEOs, governors, senators, and presidents. He used these relationships to gain better access to employment, education, housing, and healthcare for African Americans, other minorities, and those in need. Read More... PR Dangerous Edge: A Life of Graham Greene on DVD Apr 30  This documentary weaves Graham Greene's novels, including The Quiet American, Brighton Rock, The End of the Affair and The Third Man, and movies, into the story of his life and reveals an extraordinary man who traveled the globe to escape the boredom of ordinary existence. Participants include novelists John Mortimer, John Le Carre and David Lodge, writer Paul Theroux, former CIA operative Read More... PR Street Trash - Special Meltdown Edition on DVD & Blu-ray Jun 11  In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways--eighteen-year-old Fred (Mike Lackey) and his younger brother, Kevin (Mark Sferrazza)--live in a tire hut in the back of an auto wrecking yard. Life is hard, but the most lethal threat to the boys is the mysterious case of Tenafly Viper wine in Ed's liquor store window. Read More... |
