New Movies on Blu-ray/DVD

Ready Player One

Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the 80’s fueled novel hits 88 miles per hour and debuts on Blu-ray and 4K. Set in 2045, the virtual reality world- the OASIS is the future. Follow Wade and his friends on a digital treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.

Operation Red Sea

Famed action director Dante Lam returns with this explosive follow-up to his 2016 box office smash Operation Mekong. When a terrorist plot to obtain nuclear materials is hidden under the cover of a violent coup, only the Chinese Navy’s elite Jiaolong Assault Team have the deadly skill and precision needed to take on the situation.

Reissues

Beyond Re-Animator

Brian Yuzna directs the third and final film in the Re-Animator saga, which once again features Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West, this time in prison for his reckless experiments, but that doesn’t stop him from continuing his work. Features an early appearance by Elsa Pataky of the Fast & Furious franchise! The Vestron release features interviews with Yuzna, Combs and more!

Dagon

In 2001 director Stuart Gordon and screenwriter Dennis Paoli (Re-Animator, From Beyond, Castle Freak) once again entered H.P. Lovecraft territory with this loose adaptation of the author’s “The Shadow Over Innsmouth.” The film is an appropriately wet, dirty, slimy production shot in Spain and featuring some dated effects and a bit of a pacing sag in the middle, but otherwise it’s a full-tilt horror masterpiece about a guy and his girl who wash up in a fishing village where the entire town of fish-like people worships a monster god. The Blu-ray from Lionsgate’s Vestron line features interviews with Gordon, producer Brian Yuzna and Lovecraft expert S.T. Joshi.

A Strange Adventure

A short-and-sweet noir flick from 1956 given the Blu-ray treatment from Kino Lorber follows a young hot rodder who gets involved with the wrong dame and winds up kidnapped in a cabin by a trio of robbers. Features a strong supporting turn from cult film star and James Dean pal Nick Adams.

I Walk Alone

Another noir classic put out by Kino this week is this 1947 film starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in the first of their seven feature co-starring roles. It follows Lancaster’s character who gets jailed for a robbery committed by both he and Douglas, but when he gets out of prison to collect his share of the dough his old partner has other ideas.
