Do you have a VCR? Then it’s time to dust it off, because if you still own one, then chances are you’re a fan of
the format, as well as the weird, goofy direct-to-VHS titles of the
’80s. The new documentary Rewind This! is their ultimate tribute — plus, the
movie actually comes out on videotape!
Don’t worry, the VHS version also comes with a DVD copy. The
film also comes with a special bonus documentary on Laserdisc. I’m serious.
• Riddick
Riddick finds himself in a situation almost exactly like the
one he found himself in during Pitch Black, only this time Starbuck is there
(and taking a gratuitous shower).
• Carrie
The remake of the movie of the Stephen King book of the same
name, which posits that having telekinetic powers does not make you cool, nor does it make high school particularly easier to deal with.
Guys in wolf masks randomly decide to terrorize an extended
family vacationing in a cabin. Maybe they’re related to the Freys or something?
• Naruto
Shippuden Uncut Set 17
Madara declares war on the entire world, and the five Kages
join forces to stop him. Warning: The battle will make the fight between Goku
and Frieza in Dragonball Z seem a
masterpiece of efficient storytelling.
• Marvel
Knights: Wolverine Vs. Sabretooth
A motion comic of Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi’s title of
the same name, where Wolverine and Sabretooth fight to the death! (I.e., a few weeks off.)
• The
Universe in 3D: A Whole New Dimension
Hey, History Channel documentary — I don’t want to tell you your
business, but I’m pretty sure the universe has been in at least three dimensions
for a while now.
Two early ’80s movies about a rambunctious young unicorn
assembled from the hit anime TV series by Osamu “God of Manga” Tezuka. Oh, it’s on
Blu-ray, too.
