New DVD and Blu-ray Releases in movies, TV, kids & family

Looking over the new DVD & Blu-ray releases for November 23rd, 2010, there are over 250 new titles.  This week surprises me, being that the last few weeks have had some great titles.   This week it seems rather dull in the excitement category, but it could just be me.

This week is led by the Beauty and the Beast Two Disc Diamond Edition re-release of the classic animated story from Disney.  We also have The Expendables with Sylvester Stallone, and Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts.

That’s really it for big titles but I’ll dig a bit deeper and see what other new DVD & Blu-ray releases might be coming along with these other titles.

In the upcoming weeks we have some great titles coming out… see below for those!

AMC Halloween FearFest Schedule For October 2010

by on October 5, 2010

in Entertainment, television

AMC TV LogoOf all the cable channels out there, I’ve always felt that AMC was top of the crop of free cable channels.  And October is the perfect month to pull out the stops and hit the viewers with some of the classic horror movies on the tube!  If you’re old enough, you’d remember the days that AMC was commercial free!  Alas, everything changes.

AMC is pulling out the stops and hitting you with Alien and Aliens, some Bruce Campbell, all the Friday the 13th‘s, A collection of Halloween’s and the standard collection of monsters.

Some of my favorites are airing in this Hallowed month:  Alien, Aliens, Pitch Black with Vin Diesel, Thirteen Ghosts and Tremors.  Who doesn’t love Tremors?

Check out the schedule from AMC for October 2010 after the break.  The list is first sorted by date, and then by movie name.

True Lies TV Series from James Cameron

by on September 14, 2010

in Entertainment, television

James Cameron is taking his 1994 hit movie, True Lies, that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold & Bill Paxton and is looking to translate the premise into a TV series.

If you remember, Cameron brought a pretty interesting show the the tube titled Dark Angel.  There, we had to suffer on a weekly basis watching Jessica Alba.  Yea… like that was difficult.

Details on whether it will be a sequel to the film’s premise or not are not out yet.  If you recall, by the end of the movie hubby and wife became a spy team.  The True Lie TV series is being written by  Rene Echevarria (Castle, Medium, The 4400, Dark Angel.)  As you see, the writing will have some swagger behind it so it should be a pretty decent effort.

The Expendables

-

The Expendables has a heck of a cast filled to the brim with action stars. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, (A Buffy & Angle alum) Charisma Carpenter & Mickey Rourke. Though it would appear uncredited per IMDb, we’ll also be seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger & Bruce Willis.

The movie was co-written and directed by Sylvester Stallone, and co-written with David Callaham (Doom, Horsemen, Tell Tale), The Expendables is about a group of mercenaries who are sent to South America to help overthrow a dictator, but the job isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be… or more to the point, is a lot more than expected.

The movie would seem to be anticipated by many and I for one am looking forward to seeing Jason Statham doing something else besides being a driver, but aside from looking awesome, I’m sadly seeing reviews that run the gamut, from predictable to fun. We’ll see!

James Cameron Wants to Tweet To The Past

by on December 20, 2009

in Entertainment

Cinema Static’s Theory Extrapolation with James Cameron:

Here’s one that goes right up there with James Earl Jones doing Darth Vader for chump change:  James Cameron said that if he could Tweet one message to the past to himself, he would say “Don’t Sell!”

You’re probably asking me, don’t sell what?

It seems that for his chance to direct the first 1984 Terminator with Arnold Schwarzenegger, he sold the rights to the franchise for $1.  Nope, not a typo…  that was a dollar symbol and a one.  $1.

That reminds me of the Stargate episode where SG-1, 10 or 15 years down the road had to get a message back through time to keep the team from going to a certain planet and meeting insidious aliens that was thinning out the human species!
