Mill Creek Entertainment Announces Blu-ray Wave Of Priced-To-Collect Titles For Delivery On May 14

Mill Creek Entertainment announced this past week its first wave of priced-to-collect DVD and Blu-ray product offerings for delivery during the month of May.

Topping the list is the May 14 Blu-ray release of director Irvin Kershner’s 1978 suspense thriller, Eyes of Laura Mars.  Priced at just $14.98 (and that’s before discounts at retail), this giallo-inspired thriller was a full-two years in the making and was Faye Dunaway’s first film after winning the Oscar for Network (also nominated for both Chinatown and Bonnie and Clyde).

None other than John Carpenter started on the screenplay in 1976, with Jon Peters acting as the producer — who had become a wunderkind of sorts with his joint-production with then “girlfriend” Barbra Streisand of A Star is Born.   This too would be a star vehicle … it took awhile from concept to screen, which included a director change, additional screenwriters and a nearly two-month long filming shoot in New York City.

The film was also marked, during both the shooting and film editing process with cloak and dagger type secrecy … Peters didn’t want competitors to know what his film with superstar Faye Dunaway was about.   This ended up pushing the theatrical date back from early summer of 1978 until August (about two months).

Dunaway was spot-on perfect as the world-famous fashion photographer, Laura Mars, who is celebrating her latest triumph when she has a vision that her editor (played by Meg Mundy) is about to be murdered.   And then she is!!   She has another vision, then one of the gallery-owners (Rose Gregorio) being murdered … and she is, murdered.

You can’t keep “seeing” murders and then having them actually happen without the police getting just a little bit curious.  Enter Detective John Neville (played by a relative newcomer by the name of Tommy Lee Jones … Coal Miner’s Daughter would follow two years later).

There are plenty of suspects to be sure.   A member of her crew (Brad Dourif), her ex-husband (Raul Julia), her agent (Rene Auberjonois) — who wants her to keep quiet about the visions — and maybe even Laura Mars herself!

Eyes of Laura Mars is a terrific whodunit that will keep you guessing right up until the end … and with such a terrific cast there are plenty of high-profile suspects to choose from.

Also getting a May 14 Blu-ray launch from Mill Creek Entertainment is writer/director John Carpenter’s 2001 sci-fi chiller, Ghosts of Mars.  

In one of those oddities, Carpenter wrote the script for the aforementioned Eyes of Laura Mars, which didn’t get released theatrically until early August of 1978.   Just two month later came Halloween, so 1978 was a very good year for John Carpenter.

Ghosts of Mars, starring Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge, Jason Statham, Pam Grier and others, was savaged by the critics and was not all that successful when released theatrically during the summer of 2011.   But a funny thing has happened in the years since it was first screened … it has become something of a genre fan favorite.   At just $14.98, Mill Creek Entertainment will be pleasing many a fan come May 14.

Rounding out the selection of mid-May releases is the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack release of Luis Llosa’s Amazon thriller, Anaconda, teaming Ghosts of Mars’ Ice Cube with Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight and Eric Stoltz.  The SRP for the Combo Pack is also just $14.98.

MVD Entertainment Group Bestows Marquee Collection Status On The DVD and Blu-ray Release Of Director Tobe Hooper's Mortuary

MVD Entertainment Group has bestowed Marquee Collection status on director Tobe Hooper’s 2005 haunted house horror tale, Mortuary.   

The street date selected is May 14 and both DVD and Blu-ray editions will be available.

Leslie Doyle (Denise Crosby — Ray Donovan, Star Trek: The Next Generation) has just lost her husband and need a clean break from the past; a fresh start to heal old wounds.   So she packs up her two kids, Jonathan (Dan Byrd — Easy A, Sisters, The Hills Have Eyes) and Jamie (Stephanie Patton — Deep Impact, For Heaven’s Sake) and heads west after having bought the long-since closed Fowler Funeral Home.

It seems like a pretty good idea.   After all, every town of any size needs a mortuary and graveyard — yes, the Fowler property comes complete with a graveyard.   What she doesn’t know is that the place is closed for a reason … it seems that Bobby Fowler (Price Carson), the son of the owner, was a creepy, deformed little monster that killed his slaughtered his parents and disappeared without a trace.

A rundown cemetary, a mortuary with dead bodies and a creepy killer, that gives Mortuary all the trappings of a haunted house thriller … which is what it lives up to.   All that you need is a victim pool, which is ready and willing in the form of the local teens, whom Jonathan befriends.

It seems that Bobby has been a busy monster, tunneling under the graveyard, which secret entrances into the house.  

He’s also infected with some horrible black goo that revives the dead, and as we soon learn, infects the living with the same result.  Zombie-like creatures and poor Leslie is a ground zero!

Bonus features included with this Marquee Collection release of Mortuary on May 14 are commentary by the late Tobe Hooper and the behind-the-scenes featurette titled “Inside the Graveyard.”

Paramount Home Media Announces The Return Of Full Season Sets On Bonanza On May 7

The prayers have been answered … Bonanza rides again!!   Beginning in 2009, Paramount Home Media release full seasons of the venerable Western television series starring Lorne Greene as Ben Cartwright — along with his three sons, played by Dan Blocker, Pernell Roberts and Michael Landon — each year until 2015 (Season Eight) and then suddenly nothing.  

Online petitions were even started: “We are many different races and our beliefs are varied but we have this one thing in common: we love our Bonanza” … they called themselves “Bonanzaphiles.”  

Paramount Home Media, teaming with CBS Home Entertainment, will release (drum roll, please) Bonanza: The Official Ninth Season, Volumes One and Bonanza: The Official Ninth Season, Volumes Two (both four disc sets) on May 7!!!
