88 Films Has Blu-ray Editions Of Director Wellson Chin's The Inspector Wears Shirts 3 And The Inspector Wears Shirts 4 Ready For Release On July 09

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
88 Films, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, doubles up with Banshee Squad action on July 9 with the Blu-ray releases of director Wellson Chin’s 1990 film release of The Inspector Wears Skirts 3 and his 1992 follow up, The Inspector Wears Skits 4.

The five members of the all-female Hong Kong police undercover agents known as the Banshee Squad are on the case looking for stolen weapons in The Inspector Wears Skirts 3.   These might be hidden aboard a luxury casino ship.

Returning to action are Amy (Sandra Ng), May (Kara Wai) and Susanna (Amy Yip), who are teamed with two new members of the squad, Judy (San Yip) and “Super Police Woman” (Wai-Kei Wong), plus Madame Wu (Sibelle Hu) and Inspector Kan (Stanley Sui-Fan Fung) return to lead the way.   

The weapons hunt turns into a ship hijacking with $200 million at stake.  

The series concludes with The Inspector Wears Skirts 4, where we pick up the action as everything has fallen apart and only Amy (Sandra Ng) is left from the Banshee Squad.  When the new group of female commandoes doesn’t quite live up expectations Amy is called back to help out!!

Both films are presented in Cantonese with English subtitles (English language tracks are also included) and Asian cinema expert Frank Djeng provides commentaries.

MVD Entertainment Group's Newest "Rewind Collection" Additions Is None Other Than The 4K Ultra HD Release Of Director Albert Band's Ghoulies II On July 09

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
There was some terrific news from MVD Entertainment Group this past week.

Director Albert Band’s 1987 film release of Ghoulies II — the delightful sequel to the surprising good 1985 release of Ghoulies — will be getting a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack release on July 9 … and Ghoulies II be installed as a member of MVD’s popular “Rewind Collection” 4K library!

This is a new restoration from the original camera negative and includes both the theatrical cut (rated PG-13) and the R-rated “Director’s Cut” of the film as viewing options.   

Screenwriter Dennis Paoli (Re-Animator, The Dentist, Dagon, etc.) will be providing an introduction to the 4K viewing options.

Bonus goodies are included on the Blu-ray disc and these include deleted scenes and two extended-length featurettes (almost like mini filmmaking documentaries) — “More Toilets, More Terror: The Making of Ghoulies 2” and “Under A Magic Moon: Interview with Dennis Paoli.”

Mill Creek Entertainment Looks To June 04 As The DVD Debut Date For Finding Faith Starring Ashely Bratcher And Directed By Ellis Black

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
It is a fine line.   When a filmmaker delivers a faith-based production it can often be a one-note, one-audience sort of thing.   Getting out to a wider audience based on the story, the acting and the final product can be a challenge.

Not to knock Hallmark or Lifetime movies, but they have their specific audiences and most who are not fans of these films tend to give them a wide berth.   Again, that’s not to put Hallmark or Lifetime productions down, they have their place.

So that gives you some reference to faith-based productions.   The moment you say “faith-based,” you can almost hear the room begin to empty, except for the faithful … so crossing over to those heading for the exits is the challenge.

With that said, Mill Creek Entertainment has a solid track record in delivering faith-based films that reach a crossover audience.   

Two quickly come to mind, director Tyler Sansom’s heartfelt I Can, starring Danner Brown in the true life story of one-armed softball player Katelyn Pavey, and writer/director Andrew Hyatt’s faith-based biopic titled The Blind: The True Story of the Robertson Family are just two examples of such faith-based crossover films that have been released on physical media by Mill Creek.

Indeed, Hyatt’s film holds the record for the highest grossing Fathom Events film ever … you don’t get that from a limited one-note audience.

Well, guess what, Mill Creek Entertainment has done it again with news this past week that first time director Ellis Black, with a script by actor-turned-screenwriter Don Michael Paul (Tremors: Shrieker Island, Half Past Dead, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man), will see their crossover faith-based film titled, Finding Faith, making its DVD debut on June 4. 

At the core of Finding Faith is a knockout performance by Ashley Bratcher (Unplanned, Princess Cut, The Magic Shed, Pharma) as Victoria “Faith” Walker, a Christian “advice” columnist who gets hit with a double-whammy — a fallout with her singer/songwriter husband (Jonathan Stoddard), who is on the road for up to four months at a time, and the death of her mother, leaving her father (played by none other John Schneider) alone.  

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
She heads home to spend time with her father … and wonders aloud about her faith; about her life.   Putting things back together sometimes requires taking everything in your life apart and starting over.

All involved, include nice turns by Robert Peters, Lenita Harris and Vivica A. Fox, make Finding Faith a film that goes well beyond its core faith-based audience and reaches — based on the story, the acting and quality of the film production — a wider audience.   

On June 4, on DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment … be sure to check it out, you will not be disappointed!!

46 Days Of Unfettered Piracy Of Director S. J. Clarkson's Madame Web With Mar. 15 Premium VOD Window Followed By Full Spread Physical Media Launch From Sony Pictures Home Entertainment On Apr. 30

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Director S. J. Clarkson’s Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O’Connor, got marching orders this past week for the transition from theatrical venues to the physical media marketplace.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment had already signaled that the move was forthcoming with the premium VOD window inserted 28 days into the film’s theatrical run on Mar. 15 — which was immediately turned into Blu-ray editions of Madame Web by the “Helper” community within hours. 

It, however, comes as something of a surprise that the street date for a full-spread of physical media product offerings has now been set for Apr. 30.   That works out to 46 days of unfettered piracy of Clarkson’s film.

For the record, the ARR comes in at 74 days and the domestic box office total was a little light at $43.8 million.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
This will be a full spread release featuring stand-alone DVD and Blu-ray buying options, plus a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack selection.

Bonus features common to all three release SKUs are two featurettes — “Future Vision” and “Casting the Web.”   Exclusive to the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions are a deleted scene, a gag reel and two additional featurettes — “Oracle of the Page” and “Fight Like a Spider.”

Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment Targets May 14 For A Full-Spread Physical Media Rollout Of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two • Helper Community Gets A Four Week Head Start With VOD On Apr. 16

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has tabbed May 14 as the street date for a full spread of physical media product offerings for director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two.

The ARR is just 74 days and the box office take currently stands at an impressive $254.1 million.  A premium VOD window beings on Apr. 16, which gives the “Helper” community four full weeks to peddle their own Blu-ray editions of Villeneuve’s movie.

Planned for release are stand-alone editions across all three formats — DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD.

Bonus features, which are limited to the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD SKUs, are eight production features — “Chakobsa Training,” “Creating the Fremen World,” “Finding the Worlds of Dune,” “Buzz Around the New Thopter,” “ Worm-Riding,” “Becoming Feyd,”  “ A New Set of Threads” and “Deeper into the Desert: The Sounds of the Dune.”



Paramount Home Entertainment Celebrates The 50th Anniversary Of Producer Robert Evans' Chinatown With The Debut Of A 4K Ultra HD Edition On June 18

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Paramount Home Entertainment announced this past week that the long, long, long awaited 4K Ultra HD debut of Chinatown, which will take place on June 18, is finally over.   Take note, that’s within two days of being the 50th Anniversary of the film’s theatrical debut on June 20, 1974.

The timing is perfect!

If it were not for The Godfather Part II being released theatrically in 1974 and winning the Oscar for Best Picture, the default would have been Robert Evans’ production of Chinatown, directed by Roman Polanski.   There is no doubt about that.

Evans, for all of his faults, was gifted when it came to picking movies to produce when he was the head of production at Paramount Pictures.   Among these gems — either as the head of production or as a producer himself — were Rosemary’s Baby, True Grit, Love Story, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Save the Tiger, The Conversation, Urban Cowboy, Players … and more. 

Every “Hollywood” studio head today, right now, needs to start looking for the next Robert Evans … just recycling superhero movies isn’t working.   Robert Evans produced movies that audiences wanted to see, but sadly the current crop of studio production heads don’t quite measure on that score.

So, what does Paramount have in store for us on June 18 when the 4K Ultra HD edition of Chinatown streets?

For starters, we have three newly-prepared featurettes — “A State of Mind: Author Sam Wasson on Chinatown,” “Chinatown Memories” and “The Trilogy That Never Was.”

Also included is a vintage commentary from screenwriter Robert Towne (who began, as so many filmmaking greats, under the tutelage of the legendary Roger Corman), who is joined by David Fincher.

Towne was hotter than hot at this point in his career, scoring Oscar nominations for The Last Detail (1973), Chinatown (winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay) and Shampoo (1975)!!

Also — from the archives — are five featurettes — “Water and Power,” “Chinatown: An Appreciation,” “Chinatown: The Beginning and the End,” “Chinatown: Filming” and “China: Legacy.”

And one last bonus … included with this 50th anniversary celebration of Chinatown is a Blu-ray companion disc featuring producer Robert Evans’ 1990 film, The Two Jakes, written by Robert Towne and directed by Jack Nicholson.   In a word: SWEET!


Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola's 1982 Film Masterpiece One From The Heart Arrives As A 4K Ultra HD Edition From Lionsgate Home Entertainment On May 07

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has a pleasant surprise ready for film fans on May 7 with the news this past week that auteur filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola’s spectacular 1982 film failure, One from the Heart, will be getting a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray release on that date.

The history of Coppola’s vision, which went wildly over budget, is well documented and so we won’t belabor that point here.   Rather, it is the final product that reached the screen that was remarkable … creative, visionary and very enjoyable as both a story and a cinematic event.

And yes, it was a colossal failure, bankrupting Coppola’s Zoetrope Studios, but nevertheless it remains a tribute to the vision of one hell of a filmmaker.  Las Vegas filmed on a soundstage … it was La La Land before La La Land — A fantasy, romantic, musical … and certainly more.

Now comes a restored (Coppola had problems financially finishing the film in a complete form) 4K presentation of One from the Heart with six minutes of newly recovered footage.

Bonus treats include commentary by Coppola and five new featurettes — “The Look of One from the Heart,” “The Cast of One from the Heart,” “The Choreography of One from the Heart,” “Reinventing the Musical: Baz Luhrmann One from the Heart” and “One from the Heart: Restoration Comparison.”

The companion Blu-ray disc features the original 1982 theatrical cut, deleted scenes, videotaped rehearsal footage and four vintage featurettes — “The Making of One from the Heart,” “The Dream Studio,” “The Electronic Cinema” and “Tom Waits and the Music from One from the Heart.”
