The horror-thriller Antebellum starring Janelle Monáe, Eric Lange, Jena Malone, Jack Huston and Kiersey Clemons arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on November 3rd and comes with a documentary, featurettes, deleted scenes and trailers.
Mallrats has found a new audience over the past 20+ years with home video media, and myself enjoyed it a bit more) and now 2.5 decades later, manages to get a complete Blu-ray release with a few new features and an upgraded video transfer.
Fury isn’t the best war drama around, not even in the top 5, but it’s still well made and features a great cast, with Brad Pitt delivering a fine performance (one of his best in some time), that elevates the writing while Ayer’s direction keeps the pacing just right.
White Fire had all the hallmarks of being one of those good-bad action movies from the 1980s and while it had its moments, Ginty fights off some goons with a chainsaw, but the last two-thirds were rather dull.
Warning from Space (a.k.a. Spacemen Appear in Tokyo) comes to Blu-ray from Arrow Video (released on 10/13) and comes with a select-scene commentary, American version of the film, trailers and a gallery.
V for Vendetta never struck me on an emotional level and it is a bit heavy handed though presumably the graphic novel was pretty close as well, but the performances from both Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman are strong.
Space Ghost & Dino Boy is a fun 1960s-era cartoon that’s pretty simplistic in both the animation and storytelling, but still worth checking out, though personally I could skip through the “Dino Boy” segments.
The Brides of Dracula isn’t the strongest of the “Dracula” movies or even monster flicks from Hammer Films, but it certainly is the most stylish with some rich production designs and Peter Cushing great playing Van Helsing.
The Owners isn’t exactly a unique movie (kind of similar to Don’t Breath) but at the very least starts off well enough but even with a few decent scenes in the third act, the rest of the film doesn’t have a whole lot to offer.
Friendsgiving sort of excels thanks to Malin Akerman and Kat Dennings surrounded by a nice supporting cast. Didn’t think the script did this ensemble a whole lot of favors, but I did chuckle few times at least.
The Doorman doesn’t have a whole lot new to offer in the thriller genre as it is filled with plenty of clichés, but I still found it relatively entertaining even if the material isn’t anything unique.
Bonanza: The Official Eleventh Season is another fine two volume set that, while not my cup of tea as I’m not the biggest fan of Westerns, is still some nice performances from this seasoned cast.
The Great: Season One is a comedy-drama from Tony McNamara and stars Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult. The DVD arrives on October 20th and comes with two featurettes and a gag reel.
Star Trek: Picard – Season One isn’t great especially with seeing Patrick Stewart returning to his iconic character, but I found it watchable however I’ve never been an avid viewer of TNG or any other Trek incarnation growing up.
Stargirl is a fun superhero fantasy-adventure featuring some unique characters that haven’t been seen before, most I’ve never heard of, however as much as I have criticized some other DC shows, this one is probably my favorites.
