Mill Creek Entertainment To Release DVD And Blu-ray Sets Of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series On Feb. 4

Mill Creek Entertainment revealed the first wave of its February priced-to-collect Blu-ray and DVD release calendar.  

Leading the parade of hits is the Feb. 4 debut — on both DVD and Blu-ray — of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series, played by Ellie Kemper (as Erin in The Office TV series, plus such films as Bridesmaids, 21 Jump Street) who stars as a cult captive who spent 15 years in an underground bunker being told that the world has ended).   Once rescued, she elects to make a go of it in New York City (of all places), rather than return home to Indiana.   

With a mixed-matched roommate by the name of Titus (Tituss Burgess — nominated for four Emmys for his performance), who is a Times Square wannabe street performer, she manages to put her life back together.  Carol Kane stars as her screw-loose landlord, while Jane Krakowski is a wealthy socialite who mistakes Kimmy for a nanny and hires her to deal with her 10-year-old son.

All 51 episodes of this comedy series are included in these eight-disc box sets for both the DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Also on the Blu-ray release front in this first way of February, 2020 priced-to-collect release are four new additions to Mill Creek’s popular “Retro VHS” line of Blu-ray film releases.    

Getting the retro treatment this time out is writer/director Fred Walton’s 1979 horror tale, When a Stranger Calls, starring Carol Kane (Oscar-nominee for Best Actress for her performance in Hester Street, plus two-time Emmy-winner for the TV series Taxi … and who also stars in Mill Creek’s Feb. 4 Blu-ray debut of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series) as a babysitter who must face a deranged killer (played by Tony Beckley) not once, but twice!!

Kim Basinger (Oscar-winning for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in L.A. Confidential) teams up with Richard Gere in director Richard Pearce’s 1986 detective thriller in the Big Easy (and the nearby swamps), No Mercy.   Bruce Willis stars in director Michael Lehmann’s 1991 film release of Hudson Hawk and two-time Grammy-winner Cindy Lauper co-stars with Jeff Goldblum in director Ken Kwapis’ 1988 adventure/comedy, Vibes … four new “Retro VHS” Blu-ray releases — priced at just $14.98 each — on Feb. 4.

He’s back on Feb. 25!!   Mill Creek Entertainment will bring the fourth installment in the venerable Ultraman television series to Blu-ray on Feb. 25 with the release of the Return of Ultraman … a six-disc set featuring all 51 episodes.

Ultra Seven finished up in 1967 and that was suppose to be the end of the Ultraman cycle, but Japanese audiences loved it and the demand grew and grew until 1971 when a new member to MAT (Monster Attack Force) is brought back to life by “New Ultraman.”   Jiro Dan stars as Hideki Gôh, a famous racecar driver, who sacrifices his life in the opening episode to save a child during a “monster storm” (creature fight) on the streets of Tokyo.    It does not go unnoticed!

Presented in Japanese with English subtitles, Return of Ultraman also includes with Digital Copy and 28-page collectible booklet.

Stayed tuned … this is just the first wave of new February Blu-ray and DVD product offerings from Mill Creek Entertainment.

MVD Entertainment Group Bestows Rewind Collection Status On The Feb. 11 Blu-ray Debut Of Writer/Director Bob Yari's Mind Games

MVD Entertainment Group has a new addition to its MVD Rewind Collection series of Blu-ray releases with the announcement this past week that writer/director Bob Yari’s Mind Games will be released on Feb. 11.

One of the most overlooked films of 1989 — MGM was in the middle of being bought and sold by Kirk Kerkorian to an Italian waiter by the name of Giancarlo Parretti, who, as it turned out, scammed Crédit Lyonnais out of a billion dollars in buying MGM — Mind Games literally got lost in the chaos … and to make matters worse, an old distribution deal with 20^th Century-Fox was still in play that saw the film shuffled over to them for a matter-of-course VHS release.   Gone.

Gone, yes, but not forgotten as MVD has become something of an expert in finding these misplaced cinematic treasures and Mind Games will be right at home in the company’s Rewind Collection clubhouse.

Dana (Edward Albert — Butterflies are Free, Guarding Tess, The Ice Runner) and his wife, Rita (Shawn Weatherly — as Jill on Baywatch), are having a tough go of it, so they decide that a little downtime and a road trip in their motorhome with their son, Kevin (Matt Norero), would be a good opportunity to reset things.   

Lots to see and do … and then there’s this encounter, in the woods, on a quite stream, with a young man by the name of Eric (Maxwell Caulfield — Grease 2, The Boys Next Door, Gettysburg), who seems harmless enough.  For reasons that seem a little odd, Dana invites him to join them on their road trip.

If you were sitting in a theatre back in 1989, you were, about this point in the movie, yelling at the screen … NO!    You already knew that things were about to go south and that pretty boy Eric was really a monster — a psychopath — just waiting for a motorhome full of victims to toy with.   And toy he does!!   

Bonus goodies include two newly-prepared video sessions.   The first with Maxwell Caulfield and Shawn Weatherly, and the second featuring writer/director Bob Yari and producer Mary Apick.   

Cleopatra Entertainment Tabs Feb. 25 As The Street Date For A Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Presentation Of Glenn Danzig's Verotika

Cleopatra Entertainment, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Feb. 25 for the release of a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack presentation of writer/director, musician and performance artist Glenn Danzig’s eagerly anticipated film anthology, Verotika.

Currently the film, which is based on the “Verotik” line of comic books (adult-themed graphic novels is more like it), is playing in selected venues (and generating amazing buzz in the process) … call them events, if you will, that coincide with the current OG Misfits tour.   The next event will be on Dec. 13 in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Film Center … New York City on Oct. 18 at the AMC Empire 25 Theatre in Times Square sold out, as did the Sitges Film Festival in Barcelona, Spain.

Indeed, by the time Cleopatra Entertainment delivers Verotika (the movie) to home entertainment marketplace on Feb. 25 it will certainly be a red-hot item among fans and possibly one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases during the first quarter of 2020.

As to the movie itself, it is, by any standards, a “visual feast,” populated by well-endowed females in analogy segments variously titled “The Albino Spider of Dajette” (showcasing the talents of Ashley Wisdom), “Change of Face” (with Rachel Alig as the “Mystery Girl”) and “Drukija, Countess of Blood” (Alice Haig, aka: Alice Tate) … Kayden Kross is Morella, the hostess of the proceedings (think: Elvira).   

The Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack presentation of Verotika also includes a CD of the soundtrack as a bonus.
