Royal Deceit is a period piece taking liberties with Shakesepeare but does feature a great cast that includes Christian Bale, Helen Mirren, Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Byrne and Andy Serkis in his feature film debut.
The Widow Couderc is a drama starring Alain Delon, Simone Sigmoret and Ottavia Piccolo and debuts on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber, released on July 7th.
Saving Silverman is a movie of its time with its core cast, especially Jason Biggs coming off the American Pie and its sequel, and an early film from Jack Black.
Midnight in the Switchgrass is another straight-to-video (or streaming) flick that might grab ones attention seeing Bruce Willis and/or Megan Fox on the cover but what you get is a half-baked story, some shoddy editing and another sleepwalking performance from Willis.
Working Girls comes to Blu-ray, as well as DVD, courtesy of The Criterion Collection and comes with an audio commentary and a couple new interviews.
Seance, starring Suki Waterhouse, Madisen Beaty, Ella-Rae Smith and Inanna Sarkis, is a weird mix of 90s slasher and supernatural horror. The release from RLJ includes a commentary track, featurette, deleted scenes and an image gallery.
I Wouldn’t Be in Your Shoes debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Don Castle, Elyse Knox and Regis Toomey.
This Weird Wisconsin collection has some… not so good movies from filmmaker Bill Rebane. I would guess those who have an appreciation for these shoe-string budgeted films, or are from that region, might get something out of this.
The Dead Zone doesn’t quite enter into classic territory for me, but I did generally find it entertaining thanks to a charismatic enough performance from Christopher Walken who actually plays the lead fairly straight.
Although I do appreciate trying to take the franchise is a new direction, Spiral: From the Book of Saw is a complete misfire with really poor acting, bad and predictable writing, pedestrian direction and nonsensical editing.
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run is the newest movie following SpongeBob and his loveable friends. The Blu-ray/DVD combo pack comes with some featurettes and deleted storyboards.
Icy Breasts, a terrible and inaccurate title, is a decent mystery-drama featuring from what I can tell for a foreign film, solid performances from Alain Delon, Mireille Darc and Claude Brasseur.
There Was a Crooked Man debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Hume Cronyn, Warren Oates and Burgess Meredith.
Mortal Kombat isn’t a terrible movie but kind of a typical one in the video game to film adaptation realm. I did appreciate the use of violence copying the video games but the story isn’t great and the acting to be average at best, however Josh Lawson does steal the show.
Although not the strongest movie within Guy Ritchie’s filmography, Wrath of Man sees the filmmaer re-team with Jason Statham to make a solid, and all around entertaining action-thriller well worth checking out.
