Weekly New Releases – April 4, 2017

It’s a short list of releases this week. Nobody wants to compete with Rogue One, I guess.

3 Movie Triple Feature
Amazon
  • Blu-Ray: US, CAN
Comments Includes Wind Chill, Closure, and Perfect Stranger
10 Action Movies Starring Steven Seagal
Amazon
  • DVD: US, CAN
Comments Blaine: The product description doesn’t name the movies, but given the other names in the listed cast, I’m not convinced Seagal is in every one of these movies. Alex: Considering the number of direct-to-video films Segal has been churning out, he’s probably in all of these movies. He’s probably not doing all his stunts (he’s been using stunt doubles for all his fight scenes in the past few years), and the films are likely all universally terrible, but he’s at least in all of these movies.

Chungking Express
Amazon
  • Blu-Ray: US, CAN
Comments Blaine: People still argue to this day that Forrest Gump should not have won the Best Picture Oscar, quoting Pulp Fiction or The Shawshank Redemption as their preferred choices. The other two nominees were Quiz Show and Four Weddings and a Funeral.My pick for that year’s Best Picture is Chungking Express, directed by Wong Kar-wai. And now I want to eat pineapple.

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Being that Rogue One doesn’t appear to be available for ordering yet, I’m going to go with Nadesico.” Blaine says, “Amazon seems to have stopped the Rogue One preorders, but other retailers confirm that this is, indeed, the release date. That’s my pick, unless you plan to wait for the 3D version, in which case grab Chungking Express. If the budget allows, get both.”

One reply

  1. Rogue One is not Pick of the Anything worthy, in my opinion. It’s where I drew the line; Disney is going to bleed this franchise dry, and crap low-effort fan-service movies is where they stop getting my money.

    I also think those “X Movie Collections” are barely worth mentioning.

    I have seen Invasion of the Bee Girls, which up until now you had to get a poor VHS rip of with terrible quality. Though that might just be the actual movie. I watched it because Anita Ford is in it, and she played the villain in the original Wonder Woman movie from 1974 (the Cathy Lee Crosby one), and frankly she had more screen presence than Crosby!

    That said, do not watch that movie unless you want bad camp.
