THE HITCHER – May 1st
Like many of you, I missed this pointless remake while it was in theaters, so color me excited to check it out on DVD. Couple weird notes on this release must be mentioned, however: 1) No Un-Rated version coming anytime soon. That’s weird. In a day and age where everything has an unrated DVD, a horror movie that keeps it R is just bizarre. And finally, 2) There’s WAY too much empty space on this cover! That said, expect a quote from Pete Hammond to appear saying ‘THE HITCHER is the best movie ever made!’ at any moment. P.S.- Sophia Bush is hot.
The Goods:
GAMBEBOX 1.0 – April 10th
Previously title STAY ALIVE 2: The Next Level, this video game horror show is looking to show you that it has, in fact, nothing to do with STAY ALIVE. They should’ve probably started with a different look for the flicks’ cover, but that’s besides the point…
The Goods:
GOREGOYLES 2 BACK TO THE FLESH – April 3rd
Described as a cheapie version of GRINDHOUSE (so really, what a real Grindhouse feature would be back in the day), this badboy contains 2 feature films that promise lots of gore, cannibalism, decapitations, gut-munching and a little
tits&ass! Yeah, I’m so there! 2 movies, one low price, gore and T&A- what’s not to love? Oh, and did I mention that it’s 100% Canadian? Cause it is… so show it some love.
The Goods:
CHILDREN OF MEN – March 27th
Some have said THIS MOVIE was the best to come out in 2006, and while I haven’t had the pleasure, it sure does look cool as f*ck- so I believe em. Plus, Clive Owen’s a pimp, and Julianne Moore is one hot momma. Only downside? This cover. It’s weaksauce- weaksauce I say! Give us something to chew on, not something that’ll just blend in with the rest of the crowd!
The Goods:
THE LAST SUPPER –April 24th – Because it’s all about eating the one you love- perfect V-Day movie released 2 months too late? I think so….
RAPID FEAR –May 29th – Because THE RIVER WILD was for pussies- this is the real deal when it comes to the river-rafting-psychopath movies.
THE OUTER LIMITS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON –April 30th –
Because the new show kicked more ass than it was ever given credit for, and now you can see what I mean. Also, Alyssa Milano cameos in one episode…!
