DVD Review ESCAPE (BLU-RAY)

This could just be the Norwegian, fantasy, Black Plague, action film that we've always been waiting for...or not. What I do know is the cover art couldn't possibly feature a closer look at the lead actor's face, and there are certainly quite a lot of arrows and knives involved.

DVD Review ROLLING THUNDER (BLU-RAY)

Famous for being one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films, it seems only fitting that this flick makes its way to Blu-ray from the edgy, always-reliable Shout! Factory. I'm really looking forward to what QT loves so much about this.

DVD Review DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY/RACE WITH THE DEVIL (BLU-RAY)

Whenever I fondly recall my drive-in movie days from the mid 1970s these are two of the first flicks that come to mind (just after Rock and Roll High School). This double-feature Blu-Ray is one hell of a low-budget joyride, even if the characters in Dirty Mary Crazy Larry and Race With The Devil do not have experiences that could be considered particularly joyous.

Recommended.

DVD Review WILFRED: THE COMPLETE SERIES

Fans of the U.S version of Wilfred might be interested in checking out this complete - yet brief - run of the original Aussie series, both of which feature co-creator Jason Gann as the pot-smoking dog with the bad attitude.

The image transfers are nothing impressive, but there's plenty of sweeping thematic differences to make the experience completely new and funny, and if you are a Wilfred newbie then this could serve as a primer to see if a man in a dog suit is your kind of humor.

DVD Review ZOMBIE LAKE (BLU-RAY)

No doubt one of the biggest disasters in the already uneven Jean Rollin catalog, this entry is laughably awful.

Nice transfer. Rotten movie.

Why go back to Mars? Far from dead, Mars now holds untold potential. Nearly half a century of Mars exploration has yielded tantalizing clues that Mars may once have harbored life - and may harbor it still. But when a revolutionary rover named Curiosity touched down inside the Gale Crater on August 5, 2012, it could have been NASA's last chance to set wheels down on Mars until the end of the decade...
