Weekly New Releases – January 7, 2014

This is the first good week in a while.

4 Film Favorites: Batman

Amazon
  • Blu-Ray: US, CAN
Comments Blaine: Includes Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin from 1989-1997. It’s a good price on four movies in Blu-Ray format, and may be nice to have on hand if you’ll be following our Big Screen Batman podcasts this year. We’ll cover this set from April through July.

4 Film Favorites: Intergalactic Films

Comments Blaine: Includes the three live action films and the CGI films. See them while they’re still turtles. And mutants. And teenagers. And ninjas. And not alien. Seriously, Michael Bay, what are you thinking? Why even pay for the property?

Comments Alex: Zhang Wen plays Wang, a young cop with a lot to prove who likes to live on the edge. Jet Li is Huang, Wang’s grizzled partner who has had enough of Wang’s crap. When the ex boyfriends of an aspiring starlet start turning up dead, only these two cops can crack the case. So in other words, it’s Jet Li in a buddy cop movie.

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “go for either Star Trek: Enterprise or Throne of Blood, depending upon whether you want Star Trek or a Japanese adaptation of Shakespeare.” Alex says, “I’m going with the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray release of Throne of Blood. That is one of my favorite Kurosawa films.”

  1. Much better choices this week but still no real stand-outs for me. This version of The Last Starfighter appears to just be different packaging on the existing Blu-Ray release that I already own.

    You might want to tag the Being Human release as the US Version. It’s obvious once you click but is still a little ambiguous in the list.
