Mill Creek Entertainment's Priced-To-Collect 4-Pack DVD Releases Head To Market On Sept. 15


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Your eyes are not deceiving you.  $14.95 is the suggest retail price point (and that’s before discounts offered at retail) for not one, or even two, but four films on DVD.  

Of course, Mill Creek Entertainment, the world champion for delivery priced-to-collect DVD and Blu-ray products, has carved out this special for Sept. 15.  And, we might add, it’s not just one collection of four films, delivered as a double-disc collection, but two separate DVD editions are lined up for release on that particular street-date Tuesday.   

So let us get down to business.   First up is the collection titled Con Men: 4 Action Movies, which is top-lined by director Peter Berg’s 2003 action flick, The Rundown, which was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s breakout film as an action star.  

Sure, he was a WWF/WWE World Champion, but he needed something besides his role as Mathayus/Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Scorpion King (2002) to prove that he was more than just a creature of lore … The Rundown, co-starring Seann William Scott, Christopher Walken and Rosario Dawson was exactly that vehicle!! 

Also included in the Con Men: 4 Action Movies are director Philip Noyce’s 2006 political thriller, Catch a Fire, starring Tim Robbins; filmmaker Robert Patton-Spruill’s 1998 heist film, Body Count, featuring an all-star cast that includes David Caruso, Donnie Wahlberg, Ving Rhames, Forest Whitaker, John Leguizamo and Linda Fiorentino, and rounding out the quartet of films is writer/director Scott Sanders’ 1999 turf-war crime drama, Thick as Thieves, starring Alec Baldwin.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyThe second priced-to-own DVD collection arriving on Sept. 15 from Mill Creek Entertainment is titled Opposites Attract: Romantic Comedy 4 Movie Collection.
These romantic-themed dramas and suspense films are headed up by writer/director Tony Gilroy’s spy-versus-spy romantic comedy, Duplicity, starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts.

Next up is auteur filmmaker Woody Allen’s 2006 crime comedy about the Tarot Card Killer, Scoop, which features a large ensemble cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Woody Allen, Hugh Jackman and Ian McShane.

Rounding out this four-film collection — and remember it is priced at just $14.95 — are writer/director Noah Baumbach’s romantic comedy Greenberg, teaming Ben Stiller with Greta Gerwig and director Neil LaBute’s 2002 film adaptation of the A.S. Byatt 1990 best-selling novel, Possession, which stars Aaron Eckhart and Gwyneth Paltrow as competing literary sleuths who find their interests are more than just things associated with dusty Victorian literature.
