First it was the announcement last week from Mill
Creek Entertainment that a 12-disc DVD collection of Drop Dead
Diva: The Complete Series would be available on
June 4 for fans of the series and its star, Brooke Elliott, to enjoy.
But then Mill Creek continued with the news that there
would be four new additions to its popular priced-to-own VHS Retro line of
products on Blu-ray. These would also be available on June 4. Double Team, Excess Baggage, Jury Duty and Opportunity Knocks … they could stop
right there and the month of June would be golden!
But
when you are on a roll … you roll; you double-down, literally!
Mill
Creek Entertainment added to the June merriment with not one, but four
double-features on Blu-ray … all will be ready for collector’s to own on June
4.
There
is one genre-themed double-feature presentation on Blu-ray from the drama,
sci-fi, action and comedy categories … something for everyone.
On
the comedy front, look for the arrival of the Nineties Comedy Double Feature, which teams director Peter
MacDonald’s 1992 comedy release of Mo'
Money, starring Damon Wayans and Stacey Dash, with director Hart
Bochner’s 1996 film release of High
School High, featuring Jon Lovitz, Tia Carrere, Louise Fletcher and Mekhi
Phifer.
If
you are a sci-fi fan, then look no further than the June 4 Blu-ray release of
the Sci-Fi Double Feature,
which includes director Steve Barnett’s Mindwarp,
teaming cult-favorite Bruce Campbell with Phantasm’s “Tall Man” Angus Scrimm … this is paired with filmmaker
John Flynn’s 1994 theatrical release of Brainscan,
with Edward Furlong and Frank Langella.
OK,
what’s next? Drama? Action?
Tough choice, but let’s go with the double feature presentation of director
Chris Columbus’ 1998 blockbuster hit, Stepmom,
teaming four-time Oscar nominee Julia Roberts (with a win for Erin Brockovich) with five-time
Oscar nominee Susan Sarandon (with a win for Dead Man Walking), which is double-billed with filmmaker Ulu
Grosbard’s 1999 film adaptation of the Jacquelyn Mitchard novel, The Deep End of the Ocean, starring
Michelle Pfeiffer, Treat Williams and Whoopi Goldberg. Two for the price of one … that’s a sweet
deal!
Rounding
out this terrific June 4 double-feature Blu-ray promotion from Mill Creek
Entertainment is the twin bill teaming of Kyle MacLachlan and Elisabeth Shue in
the 1996 theatrical lights-out chiller, The
Trigger Effect, which is paired-up with director Robert Patton-Sprull’s
1998 crime thriller, Body Count,
featuring an all-star cast that includes David Caruso, Linda Fiorentino, Forest
Whitaker, Ving Rhames, John Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg.
June
4, Blu-ray priced to collect double-features … mark it on your calendar.
