MVD Launch Marquee Collection Blu-ray Line On Aug. 14 With Dwayne Johnson's Walking Tall

MVD Entertainment Group’s popular “Rewind Collection” — which is the company’s specialty label for “classics and more from the video store” — has a new promotional banner in the works with the launch of the “Marquee Collection.”   

The Blu-ray and DVD product offerings under the “Marquee Collection” will feature a mix of studio and indie films that are a little too new to be cult, but just old enough to be “catalog” … that middle area; solid and entertaining films that are certainly worth a second look among collectors and film aficionados.

A great example — and the first release under MVD’s “Marquee Collection” on Aug. 14 — is director Kevin Bray’s 2004 theatrical hit, Walking Tall, starring Dwayne Johnson.

This all-action crime thriller is an update version of filmmaker Phil Karlson’s 1973 film release of Walking Tall, which was based on actual events surrounding the life of Sheriff Buford Pusser (played by Joe Don Baker).   This 2004 version changes some of the names, places and events, but it is basically the same story of a small town sheriff — Dwayne Johnson as Chris Vaughn — who takes on the local gambling, drug and even law enforcement problems after winning a rigged trial and becoming the new sheriff.   Johnny Knoxville and Ashley Scott co-star.

Bonus goodies include two commentary options.  The first features Dwayne Johnson and the second includes director Kevin Bray (All About the Benjamins), film editor Robert Ivison and director of photography Glen MacPherson.

There are also deleted scenes, a blooper reel, an alternate ending and the featurette titled “Fight the Good Fight.”

Paramount Home Media Announces First Wave Of TV-On-DVD Products For Delivery In August • Tom Clancy Goes 4K On Aug. 21

It is that time of year once again.   The broadcast seasons are wrapping up and late summer/early fall home entertainment launch dates are being announced … the new crop, so to speak, heads home.

That was the news this week from Paramount Home Media with DVD collections for three long-standing series getting August street dates and the debut of a new series on DVD … also in August.

Returning on Aug. 21 is one of the CBS mainstays, Blue Bloods: The Eighth Season (all 22 episodes), which was a good-news/bad-news season for fans — Danny’s wife, Linda (Amy Carlson), died in a rescue chopper crash, but Jamie and his partner, Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray), finally took it to the next level and got engaged.

Also streeting on Aug. 21 is another CBS franchise, NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Fifteenth Season (24 complete episodes), which finished a thrilling cliffhanger and the very sad news for fans that Abby (Pauley Perrette) was wrapping up her career as the NCIS Forensic Specialist.   The good news for fans is that Gibbs (Mark Harmon) has re-upped for two more seasons!

One week earlier, Aug. 14, is the new David Boreanaz action series, SEAL Team: Season One … it will be making its DVD debut with all 22 first-season episodes.   

Bravo Team is after the bad guys no matter where they go or where they try to hide!

Also on Aug. 14 is NCIS: New Orleans: The Fourth Season … all 24 episodes featuring the crime-fighting efforts of Dwayne Cassius Pride (Scott Bakula), Christopher LaSalle (Lucas Black) and their New Orleans-based team. 

In other release news from Paramount Home Media this week, there will be five new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack releases on Aug. 21.   This time it is the late Tom Clancy and the film adaptations of his best-selling Jack Ryan novels that Paramount will be promoting.

These are: The Hunt for Red October (1990, directed by John McTiernan, with Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin and Scott Glenn), Patriot Games (1992, direction by Phillip Noyce, with Harrison Ford, Sean Bean and Anne Archer), Clear and Present Danger (1994, Phillip Noyce again handles the direction, with Harrison Ford and Anne Archer returning), The Sum of All Fears (2002, Ben Affleck takes over the role of Jack Ryan with Phil Alden Robinson behind the camera) and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014, directed by Kenneth Branagh with Chris Pine as Jack Ryan … he joined by Kevin Costner, Keira Knightley and Kenneth Branagh).

Arrow Video Picks Aug. 14 For The Release Of A Blu-ray Edition Of Herschell Gordon Lewis' The Gore Gore Girls

Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Aug. 14 for the next stand-alone Blu-ray special edition release showcasing the talents of iconic filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis.

Back in October of 2016 Arrow Video released the Herschell Gordon Lewis Feast, which may have been out of the price range of some fans, so during the past year the various components of that 14-film collection have been broken out as stand-alone presentations.   The latest, on Aug. 14, will be a Blu-ray presentation of director Herschell Gordon Lewis’ 1972 splatter/horror/mystery, The Gore Gore Girls. 

When the body count begins to mount at the local strip club (run by none other than Henny Youngman) — Suzie Cream Puff, Candy Cane and the lovely Pickles all meet horrible deaths at the hands of a masked killer — a hot-shot reporter by name of Nancy (Amy Farrell), from the tell-all rag, “The Globe,” thinks that the gruesome crimes might be a terrific story and a great photo spread.   

To make this happen, she recruits Abe Gentry (Frank Kress), a sleazy and in-your-face PI, to get to the bottom of it … and to be her personal guide into the lurid world of strip clubs and these violent murders.

With Herschell Gordon Lewis as the filmmaker you know that the killings will be blood red and controversial (meaning: “let’s ban this”) and The Gore Gore Girls does not disappoint.   The film is also a bit of a mystery, with plenty of “obvious” suspects in the mix … a nice twist at the end, with poor Nancy as bait, gives us both the killer and a happy ending (time to go home)!

Included with The Gore Gore Girls is director Herschell Gordon Lewis’ 1971 film, This Stuff'll Kill Ya! … plus there are commentary options for both films — The Gore Gore Girls is a vintage commentary from Lewis and This Stuff'll Kill Ya! features camera operator and Lewis biographer Daniel Krogh.

There are also three featurettes — “Author Stephen Thrower on The Gore Gore Girls,” “Regional Bloodshed” and “Herschell Spills His Guts.”
