Mill Creek Entertainment Announces Its First 2019 Blu-ray And DVD Priced-To-Collection Selections

Mill Creek Entertainment announced its first 2019 priced-to-collect Blu-ray and DVD selections this past week.

Kicking off the New Year on Jan. 8 is the Blu-ray double feature of director John G. Avildsen’s 1989 film release of The Karate Kid III — reteaming Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita — and filmmaker Christopher Cain’s The Next Karate Kid, starring future two-time Oscar-winner Hilary Swank (Best Actor for Boys Don’t Cry and Million Dollar Baby).

The SRP for this feel-good double-feature on Blu-ray is just $14.98.

Also hitting retail outlets on Jan. 8 is the double-disc treasure trove of Laurel and Hardy film classics.   Titled The Laurel & Hardy Comedy Collection — and also priced at just $14.98 — is a set of comedy classics featuring the legendary comedy duo — both together and as solo performers. 

Included in the mix are director A. Edward Sutherland’s 1939 film release of The Flying Deuces (co-starring Jean Parker) and their final film together, the Christmas of 1954 release of Utopia.   

There are also two short films — The Stolen Jools and The Tree in a Test Tube — and an astounding collection of 19 classic silent short films, including the very early 1917 Oliver Hardy comedy, The Hobo.  Other silent gems in this collection are Yes, Yes, Nanette (silent-1925), Mud & Sand (silent-1922) and West of Hot Dog (silent-1924).

City Drive Films Readies DVD And Blu-ray Editions Of k.d. lang: Ingenue Redux - Live from The Majestic Theatre For Release On Dec. 7

City Drive Films, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, looks to Friday, Dec. 7 as the street date for both DVD and Blu-ray presentations of k.d. lang: Ingenue Redux - Live from The Majestic Theatre.

Filmed lived at the Magestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas this past Sept. 21, in celebration of lang’s North American Ingénue Redux Tour, the nearly two-hour concert features a fan-pleasing 17 song selection.

From her 1992 breakout album, Ingénue, she delivered the Grammy-winning “Constant Craving,” plus all of the other nine cuts from that fan-adored album, including “Save Me,” “Tears of Love Recall,” “Wash Me Clean,” “Still Thrives This Love” and, of course, “Miss Chatelaine.”

Blended in with the Ingénue album numbers were samples from her other albums “Honey And Smoke” (case/lang/veirs), “I Dream of Spring” (Watershed) and a show-stopping presentation of Cohen’s “Hallelujah” (Hymns of the 49th Parallel) and covers of other artists, including Neil Young's “Helpless.”

Indican Pictures To Release Writer/Director Phil Leirness' The Lady Killers On DVD On Dec. 11

There’s something inherently nasty about a game among “boys” (actually grown men) where sexual conquests are compared to see who scored the biggest “get” (in terms of beauty, wealth, difficulty and power).   

But when writer/director Phil Leirness tackles the subject in The Lady Killers, making its DVD debut from Indican Pictures on Dec. 11, the seediness of the game; the contest, if you will, is taken up — or down — a notch or two (depending on your point of view).

Former college frat brothers have assembled for a reunion hosted by Pete Martel (Jamie Kaler — as Big Bud Dean in the current Heathers television series), who just happens to be a homicide detective.   There’s a game involved that they’ve played before.   They call it “Conquest,” but this year the stakes are not just bragging rights, but a pot of money — each participant has to pony up five grand.

That’s the set-up that Leirness opens with.   Call that the first act.   Boys being boys, playing their little sexual game, but with more on the table this time around.

The second act pretty much follows the seven players and their ever increasing bending of moral codes and the violation of various felonies to achieve their objective, which is, to win.   They become exploitative and increasingly perverse as the contest grinds on.   

Leirness’ comedy concept, turns dark, becomes a black comedy and then takes an even nastier turn in the third act as different members of this little gaming group begin to end up dead.   

Who is the killer?   Perhaps it is one of the women who were victimized?   Or, maybe it is one of the losers?  Is it a sore loser — make that a really sore loser — who is out five thousand dollars and probably facing some jail time as well.   

The Lady Killers will keep you guessing, but filmmaker Phil Leirness (Karl Rove, I Love You, Spectres, The Party Crashers, etc.) does give you some clues if you pay close attention!!

Unearthed Films Targets Dec. 11 For The Release Of DVD And Blu-ray Editions Of Director Takashi Hirose’s Brutal

Grindhouse plus Splatter Horror is what Unearthed Films, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has lined up for release during the Christmas-selling season as a counter-programming offering for hardcore genre fans.   

This would be the Dec. 11 launch of both Blu-ray and DVD editions of Japanese filmmaker Takashi Hirose’s feature-length film debut, Brutal — which is truth in advertising taken to the extreme.

Serial killers are on the prowl in Tokyo, both of whom are cleverly showcased in two stand-alone segments that are titled simply “Man” and “Woman.”   

In the first, Japanese actor and performance artist Butch Bigwave (who previously teamed up with Hirose for his 2012 short film titled Moratorium) has abducted a trio of young beauties and is about to have his way them.   He’s sort of a roly-poly loser who laments, while he systematically butchers his captives, that no one understands his needs, wants and desires.   

Well, unless you are equally insane, it would be a challenge to understand where this guy — “Man” — is coming from.   That brings us to “Woman,” equally unhinged and played by Ayano Oami (Perfect Education: Maid, For You, The Scream, etc.), who is adapt at seducing eager young men and quickly slicing them to ribbons.

Once the graphic details of the pair are presented, filmmaker Takashi Hirose guides us into the third stanza, where Man and Woman meet and head back to his apartment, each with plans to have their way with the other!!   

It doesn’t take long — during this “date with death” — for each to figure out that they’ve met their mirror image.   It is during this evening of “truth” that Hirose throws in a twist for genre fans to savor.

Bonus features for Brutal include a “Behind the Scenes” featurette and unspecified music videos.
