This week brings some sequels, some oldies, and a few new ones. Let’s get to it.
2 Guns
Buy on Amazon
Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington are a pair of mismatched, ethnically diverse guys who come together to fight the bad guys and become the best of friends while doing it. Or not.
Maniac Cop 2
Buy on Amazon
The first sequel to the entertaining B-movie brings back the titular character to kill some more people under the guise of law and order. Dude, his jaw is out of control.
Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence
Buy on Amazon
No self-respecting slasher movie can just leave it at two parts. I do believe we’re in for more killing as the Maniac Cop lurches his way to a third offering of justice served deadly. These are on my to-get list due to how completely brainlessly entertaining the first maniac Cop movie was.
Russian Ark: Anniversary Edition
Buy on Amazon
This movie consists of one long, unbroken tracking shot for the entire nearly hour and a half runtime. That means no mistakes or missed cues of flubbed lines or you have to go all the way back to the beginning. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. Apparently it took three takes. Can you imagine the sweat and nerves on take number three? I know!
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Season Five
Buy on Amazon
It’s Professor X…In spaaaaaaaace! The fifth season of the mega-popular revitalization of the Star trek Franchise debuts on Blu. Wesley!! *shakes fist* Dude, Picard totally did your mom.
Tank Girl
Buy on Amazon
Lori Petty, Naomi Watts, Ice T and Malcolm McDowell all in the same movie…what the funk kind of cast list is that? I think my head just exploded. Based on the comic of the same name. I have no idea if this is good, so bad it’s good or just bad.
The To Do List
Buy on Amazon
That girl whose name sounds like a shopping complex–I’m talking about Aubrey Plaza–makes a list of things she wants to do. Apparently some of which includes simulating sex with a pillow, if the screencaps I’ve seen are indicative. So there you go.
Tokyo Story Bluray/DVD Combo
Buy on Amazon
Brand new Criterion Collection release of Yasujiro Ozo’s meditation on Japanese family.
We’re the Millers
Buy on Amazon
Jennifer Aniston, Emma roberts and Jason Sudeikis star in a movie about a makeshift family and their wacky hijinks. Fun fact: Sudeikis and Olivia wilde are either married or getting married. Doesn’t that make you wonder about pretty much everything?
The World’s End
Buy on Amazon
The gang from Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead (Simon Pegg, Nick frost, Edgar Wright) return in a pub crawling, robot smashing drunken adventure.
World’s End / Hot Fuzz / Shaun of the Dead Trilogy
