Mill Creek Entertainment's Aladdin: A Thousand and One Nights On May 14


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
If it is Aladdin, Mill Creek Entertainment has it for you … and priced to collect at that!   Check it out on May 14 when the double-disc DVD release of The Story of Aladdin: A Thousand and One Nights - 8 Magical Tales arrives at your favorite retail outlet (complete with Digital Copy).

Included in this delightful mix are three classic theatrical films, which kicks off with director Alfred E. Green’s 1945 Technicolor Aladdin adventure, A Thousand and One Nights, starring Cornel Wilde as Aladdin and Adele Jergens as Princess Armina, with Dennis Hoey as the evil Sultan Kamar Al-Kir and Phil Silvers serving up comic relief as Abdullah.

Also included in the theatrical group is director Jack Kinney’s 1959 animated adventure, 1001 Arabian Nights, starring Dwayne Hickman as Aladdin (voice), Kathryn Grant as the Princess Yasminda (voice) and Jim Backus as the voice of Uncle Abdul Azziz Magoo … Hans Conried is “The Wicked Wazir.”

More Aladdin adventures?  Look no further than director Lew Landers’ 1951 release of The Magic Carpet, teaming Lucille Ball as Princess Narah with John Agar as “The Scarlet Falcon.”

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Also included in this priced-to-own collection (remember, just $14.98 for the whole package) is the 2000 Hallmark Entertainment Emmy-nominated mini-series directed by Steve Barron, Arabian Nights.

This lavish production, which won the Emmy for Outstanding Makeup, stars Jason Scott Lee as Aladdin, John Leguizamo has a blast as the Genie and Mili Avital shines as Scheherezade.

For those who would like a little song and dance with their Aladdin adventures, look no further than the 1990 musical version of Aladdin, directed by none other than Micky Dolenz, of the legendary The Monkees television series of the late ’60. 

Barry Bostwick (as Brad Major of The Rocky Horror Picture Show) plays the Genie of the Lamp, with Susan Egan as the Princess and Brent Sudduth as Aladdin.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyRounding out the fun and adventures with Aladdin are two classic theatrical cartoons from the 1930s.   UB Iwerks’ 1934 release of Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp is joined by filmmaker Dave Fleischer’s 1939 presentation of Popeye Meets Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp, starring none other than Popeye as Aladdin and Olive Oyl as the lovely Princess.

Mark it down on your viewing calendar, Mill Creek Entertainment’s May 14 double-disc DVD collection of The Story of Aladdin: A Thousand and One Nights - 8 Magical Tales.   Hours of fun and priced to collection … with Digital Copy as a bonus!!  Who could “wish” for more!

MVD Entertainment Group Sets Marquee Collection Blu-ray Release Of The Big White For May 14


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Probably one of the most misunderstood films from 2005 was the Robin Williams’ comedy, The Big White.   It was a black comedy, a dark comedy, that was promoted as an “off-beat” tale, even madcap in nature.   It failed to connect with audiences at the time, but over the last decade, especially with Williams’ passing, the film has drawn renewed interest.

It therefore comes as no surprise that MVD Entertainment Group has selected The Big White as its latest Marquee Collection entry and will be bringing it to market on May 14 as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings.

The late Robin Williams was certainly one funny guy, but after Father’s Day, Jumanji and Flubber in late the ‘90s, he started to stretch his acting legs with more dramatic films — Good Will Hunting (Oscar-winner for Best Supporting Actor), One Hour Photo and Insomnia to name just a few.   

The Big White doesn’t really fit into either category — dramatic or traditional comedy vehicle for Robin Williams.   Instead he plays a somewhat morose owner of a near-bankrupt travel agency in Alaska.   His wife, played by Holly Hunter, suffers from Tourette Syndrome, which gives her plenty of scenery to chew on while Williams suffers.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyHis solution comes in the form of a missing brother, who has been officially missing for five years.   That triggers a million dollar life insurance policy, which could solve both his financial issues and allow him to get help for his wife.   Sounds kind of depressing — remember, The Big White is a black comedy.

The bug-a-boo in the plan is an insurance agent, played by Giovanni Ribisi, who insists on a body.   Well, as luck would have it, Williams finds a dead body — actually a murder-for-hire and the killers need the body back to collect.

That’s a problem.  But a bigger problem materializes in the form of the long-lost and presumably dead brother (played by Woody Harrelson), who suddenly shows up.
Blood will shed … but there’s a happy ending.
Bonus features include an extensive photo gallery and a behind-the-scenes featurette.


Wild Eye Releasing Preps Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Edition Of director Milko Davis’ The Jurassic Dead For Delivery On May 14


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
When a direct-to-video release hits DVD that is usually the end of the story.   But one year after Wild Eye Releasing send director Milko Davis’ The Jurassic Dead to market on DVD there is news that this stop-motion gem is heading to Blu-ray.

Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has tabbed May 14 as the street date for a Blu-ray/DVD edition of this dino-winner.

There are a couple of ways to go about bringing a T-Rex to life on screen.  Old school (think: King Kong of the 1930s) is stop-motion, while “state-of-the-art” is CGI (computer generated).   Stop-motion is cool, CGI can be overwhelming … both work.   

Milko Davis, working with co-director Thomas Martwick, served up this old school stop-motion gem involving a crazed scientist who has developed a zombie-like dinosaur.   A story like that can go south in a hurry, but this one works … and the new Blu-ray is testimony to just that!   

The Jurassic Dead works as both a classic sci-fi mad scientist tale and as an entertaining adventure that mixes zombie and dino sub-genres.   If you don’t already have the DVD, check out the Blu-ray on May 14.

Bonus features include behind-the-scenes and SFX footage.
