07.20.11 by Widge @ 8:08 am Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  It's Medium Raw: Night of the Wolf, hitting DVD from Anchor Bay. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Once upon a time, there was a homicidal maniac who slaughtered 15 little girls and left a question scrawled in the victim's blood at each crime scene: "Are you The Woodcutter?" Five-year-old Johnny Morgan witnessed his sister's murder at the hands of this monster. Years later, Johnny became a detective and finally caught the murderer, bringing him to justice. And they all lived happily ever after, right? Guess again…
Even though Johnny (writer/director Andrew Cymek) is now an officer of the law, he's still plagued by nightmares of his sister's death and the serial killer that's still out there. When a new murder scene features the same cryptic question, Johnny and his partner (John Rhys-Davies) track down leads until he finally captures Harold Grierson aka "the Wolf." But when a power outage at Parker's Asylum for the Criminally Insane, where Harold is interred, and Johnny's girlfriend Jamie (Brigitte Kingsley) works as a psychiatrist, unleashes all the inmates, Johnny, Jamie along with a handful of civilians become players in a night of survival against the world's most terrifying inmates…the Night of the Wolf.

07.19.11 by Widge @ 5:32 am Comments on this: one. Add your own.  It's Turbulent Skies, out from Anchor Bay on DVD. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Featuring the first pairing of stars Casper Van Dien (Sleepy Hollow) and Patrick Muldoon (Stigmata) since Starship Troopers. The film co-stars Brad Dourif (Child's Play, Oscar®, BAFTA® nominee, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest), and Nicole Eggert ("Baywatch," "Charles in Charge").
In the film, a new era in commercial aviation is about to launch. The first passenger plane under the complete control of a state-of-the-art computer is about to undergo its inaugural flight with a high-powered passenger list of potential investors. Bereft of pilots, all goes well until a computer virus compromises the system, and takes the plane far off course. With the military threatening to shoot down the rogue plane, and the passengers literally prisoners of the air, the only hope of survival falls on the inventor of the aeronautical supercomputer to regain control of the plane and reprogram the computer – all he has to do is board the plane in mid-flight… Categorized as: Contests

Here's what they have to say for themselves: World War II: What if Nazis seized London and all of England had to band together? When scarily campy Nazi leaders invade by drilling under the English Channel and up through the cobblestones on Whitehall, Churchill leaves his quiet retirement with a cat that looks like Hitler to issue a call to arms from his bunker under Downing Street. Chris, a young farm worker with large hands, rallies the village to fight the good fight -- including an alcoholic Vicar, the oldest man in the town, several idiots, a random Frenchman and Bobby Fiske, a swearing American who believes he's battling Russia.
This comedic feature film debut from Scottish brothers Edward and Rory McHenry, has an all-star cast of voices including Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting/Star Wars Trilogy), Alan Cumming (X2/The Good Wife), Stephen Merchant (The Office), Dominic West (The Wire/300), Rosamund Pike (Die Another Day/An Education), Tom Wilkinson (The Green Hornet/Michael Clayton), Timothy Spall (The King's Speech/Harry Potter), and Richard E. Grant (Prêt à Porter/Gosford Park), among others. Categorized as: Contests

07.13.11 by Widge @ 9:21 pm Comments on this: one. Add your own.  It's the collection Good Night Gorilla... And More Wacky Animal Adventures out from Scholastic on DVD. Here's what they have to say for themselves: From the wacky animal adventure "Good Night Gorilla", to the classic family favorite "Danny and the Dinosaur" and the hilarious tale of "The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash", kids and parents alike will delight watching their favorite books spring to life with GOOD NIGHT GORILLA…AND MORE WACKY ANIMAL ADVENTURES. Within this new three-DVD set containing many refreshed children's classics are sixteen amazing animal tales, friendly monster stories and hilarious creature capers featuring celebrity narration by Anthony Edwards, Mary Beth Hurt, Elle Fanning, Lynn Whitfield and many others!
"Good night, Gorilla," says the zoo watchman as he walks by the gorilla cage on his nightly rounds in the titular tale on this set. When the playful gorilla answers by quietly pickpocketing the guard's keys, stealthily trailing him, and unlocking the cages of every animal the oblivious watchman bids goodnight to, the tale dissolves into hilarity in this new classic from author and illustrator Peggy Rathmann (creator of the Caldecott-winning "Officer Buckle and Gloria"). Joining the trio of animal adventures mentioned above are William Steig's "Doctor de Soto", about a mouse dentist journeying to deepest Africa, Don and Audrey Wood's "The Napping House", Patricia McKissick's wonderful tale from the Deep South, "Flossie and the Fox", along with "Stanley and the Dinosaurs", "Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin", "Happy Birthday Moon", "The Rainbabies", "Elizabeti's Doll", "The Island of the Skog", "T Is for Terrible", "First the Egg", "What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?" and "Joey Runs Away".
