DVD/Blu-ray Breakdown: April 19, 2011

Mike Eisenberg — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:44:57 +0000

It is fitting that this week is small in scale as three low-budget movies hit DVD and Blu-ray. All three earned great reviews from critics, but only one stood out – The King’s Speech.

A Blu-ray re-release of Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation should entertain fans of the franchise if the web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy isn’t enough. Now you can watch one of the “worst lines in movie history” on Blu-ray.

The following titles can now be found on DVD and Blu-ray.

Screen Rant’s 2010 Fall Movie Preview

Kofi Outlaw — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:17:36 +0000

Summertime and all that easy living is now done, and unless you’re one of those people who lives where the sun is always shining then the onset of Fall means four things: colder weather, earlier sunsets, heavier clothing and movies galore.

Yes, the summer has all those big blockbusters we’ve been waiting all year to see, but Fall is the time when we actually want to be in the movie theater: when being outdoors is no longer an attractive alternative and the cinema offers many, many, award-worthy films. A few of them even stand the chance of being pretty good.

Of course the Fall movie landscape has been changing pretty radically in the last few years: September is now a “showcase for unique genre films” instead of just a studio dumping ground ...

Focus Features recently released the first trailer for the new Sofia Coppola film Somewhere, featuring Stephen Dorff, Michelle Monaghan, and Elle Fanning.

The trailer, which can be seen on iTunes, revolves around Dorff’s character – an actor who reexamines his life after being forced to spend time with his young daughter.

Here’s the plot synopsis for the film:

“Set in West Hollywood’s famous Chateau Marmont hotel, Somewhere tells the story of Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff), an actor living life to its excesses until a visit from his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning) makes him wake up to face himself.”

It has been four years since Coppola’s last film (the highly stylized Marie-Antoinette) and, from the looks of this trailer, the director is returning to a similar subject matter that earned her multiple Academy Award nominations (and ...

Welcome to another Weekend Movie News Wrap Up. In this week’s comedy filled line-up:

Zac Efron might be 17 Again but he’s also No.1 at the box office; Reese Witherspoon is Nice; Sean “Diddy” Combs goes Greek; Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning go Somwhere for Sofia Coppola; Felicity Jones is a woman in Ricky Gervais’ The Men At The Pru and Brotherhood‘s Blake Masters fires 2 Guns for Universal Pictures.

Box Office
Zac Efron is a movie star. The High School Musical star’s role in 17 Again helped the film make $24 million over the weekend. The body swap comedy also stars Friends‘ Matthew Perry as an older Efron. Poor guy - a decade ago he was headlining (mediocre) romantic comedies and now he’s supporting a tween star.

In second place was State of Play starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. Again about 10 years ago this would have opened at number one when the two stars were ...
