Two big studio flicks that didn't do so well at the
Box Office; a
Crime Thriller starring a ton of cool people; some evil snakes; a psychic killer; and the
Human Fu****g Tornado!... the last week in
May isn't going to break our bank, but its releases will certainly stretch our wallets a bit.
A bit, I say.
So let's check out this week's
New Releases below, and be sure to click the pics to order yourself some flicks!
"Pride And Prejudice And Zombies is a fresh twist on Jane Austen's widely celebrated novel. A mysterious plague has fallen upon 19th century England, the land is overrun with the undead and feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is a master of martial arts and weaponry. Casting aside personal and social prejudices, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy must unite on the blood-soaked battlefield to rid the country of the zombie menace and discover their true love for one another."
We weren't big fans of
PP+Z at all, but we know plenty of people that really dug the way that it injected zombies into such a classic romance, so hey, this is probably going to be a big
Blu-ray. If you're gong to grab a copy, this
4K version is probably the way to go.
Special Features:
- Deleted Scenes.
- Mr. Collins Line-o-rama.
- Gag Reel.
- Four Featurettes.
"In this spectacular action-adventure, the survival of mankind hangs in the balance as an unexpected mortal hero Bek undertakes a thrilling journey to save the world and rescue his true love. In order to succeed, he must enlist the help of the powerful god Horus in an unlikely alliance against Set, the merciless god of darkness, who has usurped Egypt's throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire into chaos and conflict. As their breathtaking battle against Set and his henchmen takes them into the afterlife and across the heavens, both god and mortal must pass tests of courage and sacrifice if they hope to prevail in the epic final confrontation."
This movie bombed at the
Box Office, and we mean in a big way, but for fans of movies like
John Carter, or the
Clash of the Titans flicks,
Gods of Egypt will probably be a fun, visually-impressive watch. We love director
Alex Proyas, so it can't be all bad. Again, grab the
4K version.
Special Features:
- Deleted Storyboards.
- A Divine Vision: Creating a Cinematic Action Fantasy.
- Of Gods and Mortals: The Cast.
- Transformation: Costume, Make-up & Hair.
- On Location: Shooting in Australia.
- The Battle for Eternity: Stunts.
- A Window into Another World: Visual Effects.
"In Triple 9, a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. The only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for "officer down". Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action-packed finale filled with double-crosses, greed and revenge."
Triple 9 was a solid
Crime Thriller that boasts an excellent ensemble cast... which is why it's a bit disappointing that it wasn't a better movie overall. Still, we'll happily re-visit this one down the road, so this
Blu-ray is of some interest to us.
Special Features:
- Deleted Scenes.
- Under the Gun – The acclaimed cast of Triple 9 offers an in-depth look at its characters and the pulse-pounding twists and turns at the heart of the film.
- Authentic World – Director John Hillcoat and the cast of Triple 9 discuss how their grounded approach to filmmaking helped highlight the film's gritty, authentic look and feel.
- Non-4K versions of Gods of Egypt and Pride+Prejudice+Zombies are available too.
- Blood Bath looks to be another solid release of an older, more obscure Genre flick by Arrow Video U.S.
- If you're a fan of Dolemite, then The Human Tornado will probably make you happy in the same way. Rudy Ray Moore is the man.
- Venom looks like a cool release of another cheesy 80's B-movie. Blue Underground releases usually don't disappoint.
- And I know nothing about Psychic Killer, but it's out on Blu-ray!
