Another week and that means another round of movies hitting shelves. In this weekly feature, I bring you the latest movies coming out on DVD and Blu-ray for the week. This week’s releases include the critically-acclaimed 127 Hours, Faster, Burlesque and Love and Other Drugs. Also, we have a Blu-ray box set release of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, as well as a Blu-ray release of Disney’ Bambi and The Cable Guy.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Despite the lack of updates from Marvel Studios and Disney, Shang-Chi star Simu Liu says the sequel to the successful 2021 movie is still happening.
Based on the wildly popular 1988 comic book one-shot by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, the anticipation soared for Batman: The Killing Joke movie. But why didn't it deliver in the end?
I actually saw the advertisements earlier for the first time for 127 Hours on blu-ray and it is bad. The commercial just shows Franco diving into water and climbing with absolutely nothing about him falling and getting stuck pinned against a wall so where is the draw there to people that don't know what the movie is already about?
Well the film itself is fantastic and I recommend everybody and their moms check it out asap as it's a MUST SEE.
Faster was also a good time too especially the first half of the film. The main character literally has 5 lines of dialogue in the entire film and it held my attention throughout. If you're into revenge type films check that one out too.
127 Hours is one of the rare movies that grabs you by the throat and really puts you in the main character's shoes. The feeling of despair, fear and self realization was so well conveyed to me as a viewer that I was glued to my seat. A damn good movie with a very good performance by James Franco.
I/m thinking I'll get Bambi for my daughter because she loves it when my wife reads the story to her at night.
I might pick up Bambi, if only to help fill out the Disney collection...it's either that or wait another few years for them to release it again.
127 Hours I'll at least rent. Faster as well. Probably will pick up Love and Other Drugs...good stuff this week.
Im defo going to check out 127 hours. While stuff like amputating your arm totally grosses me out, i still find an interest in it and need to see it. Hopefully Redbox has it tomorrow, since Blockbuster raised their in store prices again and i cant afford to buy it lol.
Faster also looks interesting. if MD is right about the no dialogue then i am even more interested! Glad to see "the rock" back into action movies instead of those cheesy Disney crap movies.
Dont really care about the other two, but the GF might be interested.
Picked up bother 127 hours and Faster at Blockbuster kiosk. There dumb "premium" charge was 4 bucks a night for 127 hours, but i really wanted to see it. Redbox didnt have Faster in so i just gave blockbuster more money.
However both are pretty good films worth checking out. 127 hours is absolutely amazing. Faster was a lot better than i thought itd be, but its not like breath taking or anything. Just a fun revenge film to watch for the hell of it.
