Mill Creek Entertainment Kicks Of 2020 With The Mindy Project: The Complete Series On Both DVD And Blu-ray On Jan. 14 ... And More!!!

Mill Creek Entertainment announced its first-of-the-New Year slate of priced-to-collect home entertainment packaged media product selections this past week and The Mindy Project: The Complete Series — on both DVD and Blu-ray — will be the kickoff selection.

All 117 episodes of this six-season romantic sitcom will be available together for the first time as either ten-disc DVD or ten-disc Blu-ray boxed sets on Jan. 14.

Mindy Kaling (as Kelly Kapoor in The Office television series, the voice of Disgust in the animated film Inside Out, plus such films as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, The Five-Year Engagement, Ocean's Eight, etc.) stars as Dr. Mindy Lahiri, an obstetrician who shares an office with three colleagues, who at times make the office seem more like the dayroom at a psych ward with their eccentric behavior.

As successful as she is a doctor, she as just as unsuccessful in her love life, having been raised on the promise of romantic sitcoms and finding it difficult to find the same perfect man in the real world.   

The Mindy Project: The Complete Series comes loaded with guest stars … Chloë Sevigny, Bill Hader, Kevin Smith, James Franco, Dan Hedaya, Seth Meyers and Julia Stiles, to name-drop just a few.

Also on Blu-ray on Jan. 14 are three new double-feature collections, including one featuring two films making their collective debuts on Blu-ray and both starring Joaquin Phoenix, who has jumped into the front-running position in the Best Actor category for his performance as Arthur Fleck in writer/director Todd Phillips’ box office smash, Joker.   

This combo starts with director Terry George’s 2007 film adaptation of John Burnham Schwartz’s 1999 novel, Reservation Road, teaming Joaquin Phoenix with Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Connelly, Elle Fanning and Mira Sorvino.

Joining Reservation Road in this priced-to-collect Blu-ray double feature is director Joseph Ruben’s 1998 edge-of-your-seat thriller, Return to Paradise, featuring Joaquin Phoenix as a condemned-to-death prisoner in Malaysia for drug possession, whose only chance of survival is for his two friends — Vince Vaughn and David Conrad — to return to the country before his execution and serve three-year sentences to save his life.  If only one goes, it is a six-year sentence.   If neither, he dies.  Will they go?   Anne Heche, Vera Farmiga and Jada Pinkett Smith co-star.

The other two Blu-ray double features available from Mill Creek Entertainment on Jan. 14 are director Jeremy Kagan’s 1977 film release of Heroes (with Henry Winkler, Sally Field and Harrison Ford), which is teamed with director Jeff Kanew’s 1983 film adaptation of the James McLendon novel, Eddie Macon's Run (starring Kirk Douglas and John Schneider) and lastly we have writer/director Gary David Goldberg film adaption of William Wharton’s book, Dad (starring Jack Lemmon and Ted Danson and featuring a cast that includes Olympia Dukakis, Ethan Hawke, Kevin Spacey and Kathy Baker) teamed with director Herb Gardner film adaptation of his own stage play, I'm Not Rappaport, starring Walter Matthau and Ossie Davis.
