Mill Creek Entertainment Expands Its Sept. 11 Blu-ray Price-To-Collect Product Selection With A Pair Of Double-Features

Word arrived this past week that Mill Creek Entertainment will be expanding its price-to-collect selection of Blu-ray product offerings on Sept. 11 with the addition of two double-feature releases … the SRP is a pleasing $14.98 each (and that’s before discounts at retail).

Up first — and both being released on Blu-ray for the first time — is the double bill of director Arthur Hiller’s 1979 horror tale, Nightwing, starring David Warner, Kathryn Harrold and Nick Mancuso, with is teamed with director George McCowan’s 1976 mystical tale of “evil spirits,” Shadow of the Hawk, starring Jan-Michael Vincent, Marilyn Hassett and Chief Dan George.

Genre fans are going to be snapping this Blu-ray double-bill up on Sept. 11 as they get killer bats and deadly Indian curses; manifestations of evil ... chills and haunting thrills, what more can you ask for!!

The other Sept. 11 Blu-ray double bill (also featuring films making their Hi-Def debuts) teams Goldie Hawn (nominated for Best Supporting Actress) with Ingrid Bergman and Walter Matthau in Gene Saks’ 1969 romantic comedy film adaptation of the Abe Burrows’ Tony-nominated stage play, Cactus Flower, and director Michael Powell’s 1969 film adaptation of the Norman Lindsay novel, Age of Consent, starring James Mason and Helen Mirren.

Indican Pictures Tabs July 17 For The DVD Debut Of Writer/Director Thomas Baldinger's Screwball Comedy Who's Jenna?

Indican Pictures has picked July 17 as the DVD debut date for writer/director Thomas Baldinger’s screwball-like comedy, Who’s Jenna?.

Jonathan (Bill Sorvino — A Place for Heroes, Mommy’s Box, etc.), a top financial adviser, has fallen in love with a beautiful lawyer named Jenna (Tracey Birdsall — Dawn of the Crescent Moon), which is all well and good.   Except for one nagging little detail … his best friend since childhood, Andy (Joseph D'Onofrio — Breaking Point) is absolutely convinced that Jenna is really a former porn star … she’s the spitting image.

This sets in a motion a series of events that would have Frank Capra and Preston Sturges clapping with glee.   Financial adviser, top clients, porn star … how does all that work out!!!   Let’s just say that Jonathan’s world gets very, very complicated!   

July 17 … join in the fun and find out if Jenna is really Jenna in Who’s Jenna?!!!

MVD Entertainment Group Selects Director Albert Pyun's Crazy Six For Marquee Collection Blu-ray Status On Aug. 28

MVD Entertainment Group has tabbed Aug. 28 for the Blu-ray debut of director Albert Pyun’s 1997 all-star post-Soviet Union collapse crime thriller, Crazy Six.

This new Hi-Def presentation will be the next addition to the company’s newly-launched “Marquee Collection” series, which includes Autumn in New York and Pyun’s Blast! both on Aug. 28, as well as Dwayne Johnson starring in the remake of Walking Tall on Aug. 14.

With the fall of the Soviet Union and the sudden “freedom” of the Warsaw Pack countries of Eastern Europe, organized crime elements see an opportunity to move into the “Wild East.”   Crazy Six brings three separate mob crime groups to Czechoslovakia (filmed in and around Bratislava and the Danube River) where they find themselves immediately in conflict.

One loosely-knit group is headed by the drug-addicted Billie, who is best known to his criminal associates as “Crazy Six” (played by Rob Lowe), while another syndicate is run by Dirty Mao (Mario Van Peebles) and yet a third is headed up by the devious Raul (Ice-T), who is the post powerful of them all.   

Basically it breaks down to “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” sort of thing, and an uneasy alliance is formed between Crazy Six and Dirty Mao to push Raul and his thugs out of this new, and potentially very lucrative market.   

OK, got the picture … now slowly count to ten.   Once you reach ten, which is about how long it takes for everyone to turn on each other, the bloodbath begins.  Toss in some stolen plutonium and that gets the Feds involved, including an agent by name of Dakota (played by none other than Burt Reynolds).

While filmmaker Albert Pyun makes Crazy Six more or less an all-action shoot’em-up, the basic story — and criminal intrigues in the post-Soviet era — turned out to be pretty insightful.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Looks To Aug. 7 For The Home Entertainment Rollout Of Melissa McCarthy's Life Of The Party

The husband and wife team of Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy have come up with yet another fun comedy, Life of the Party, which is all built around the ability of McCarthy to play against whatever stereotype the pair (who co-wrote) can conjure up.  

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced this past week that Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and stand-alone DVD editions of Life of the Party will be ready for fans to enjoy on Aug. 7.

That street date yields an ARR of 88 days and domestic box office receipts currently stand at $50.3 million. 

After Tammy and The Boss — and now Life of the Party — the duo can bank just about any funny idea that they can come up with.   Indeed, the combo of Falcon directing and McCarthy starring in will be back during the Christmas season of 2019 with a little something titled Superintelligence.

Until then, we have Life of the Party, where McCarthy plays an unfulfilled middle-aged housewife by the name of Deanna, who gets dumped for a younger woman by her husband Dan (played by Matt Walsh) as their daughter, Maddie (Molly Gordon), heads off to her senior year in college.

It’s the perfect role for McCarthy as a comedian.   In the early scenes she is a frump, stuck in a rut and seemingly with no future, other than just getting older and doing the same thing over and over again.   Which is more or less the definition of insanity.

The break from Dan, who really rubs it in — everything is in his name and he’s selling their home (filmed in Georgia, property owned prior to marriage is not considered community property) — gives her a nothing-to-lose sense of freedom.   In the backstory we learn that she became pregnant with Maddie during her senior year at college and was forced to drop out.

Bingo!   Back to college and get that degree.   Melissa McCarthy turned loose in a college atmosphere … from middle age frump to party animal (with a really cool twist).   Life of the Party is a terrific idea and very, very funny!!

The bonus feature common to both SKUs is the featurette titled “’80s Party.”   Exclusive to the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack are deleted scenes, a gag reel, the featurette titled “Mom Sandwich” and two other gadgets — “Line-o-Rama” and “Bill Hate-o-Rama.”
