<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAirplane Mode<\/em> \u2013 A man with a flight phobia needs to take\na plane to Australia in order to attend an important social media convention. Unfortunately,\nthe other passengers are so obsessed with their phones, they forget to switch\nthem to \u201cairplane mode\u201d, causing chaos in the sky. In the meantime, the lead\u2019s unexperienced\npal does everything he can to use the situation in order to lose his virginity.\nThis film was shot back in 2016, but is only now premiering, making its debut\non disc. There aren\u2019t many official reviews of the feature, although online\npeople are slamming it as being agonizing to sit through. The one profession write-up\nthat has appeared agrees, stating that the film is pretty awful and that the\ncast of mostly YouTube stars don\u2019t have the acting chops to make any of it work.\nIt features Logan Paul, Amanda Cerny, David Dobrik, Nick Bateman, Chloe Bridges\nand Nick Swardson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n American Chaos<\/em> \u2013 Several months before the 2016\nelection, a documentarian set out to travel through the red states to talk to\nDonald Trump supporters. Hoping to find a reason for the future President\u2019s surging\npopularity in spite of a horrific past filled with scandal, pending lawsuits\nand disturbing ties to extremist groups. The resultant film tries to explain and\ncome to terms with the current cultural divide in America. Notices were good\nfor this documentary, although not exceptional. Those who criticized the movie\ncalled the revelations already well out-of-date and suggested that it was sloppily\nput together, doing little to offer much insight. Slightly more thought that though it was\ndifficult to watch, it at least provides some information about Trump\u2019s strange\nappeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Astronaut <\/em>\u2013 This independent feature involves an elderly\nwidower who enter a competition giving individuals a chance to fly in space. Seeing\nthis as a chance to make a lifelong dream come try, the protagonist fudges his\nage and other health issues. His dysfunctional family also steps in and tries to\nhelp him win a spot on the journey. The press appeared to have a mixed-positive\nreaction to the end results. While nearly half said that the drama\u2019s pacing was\nslow and called it too bland and sentimental for their tastes, a higher number enjoyed\nits inspirational message and thought the work of the star enough to earn the\nfilm a recommendation. It stars Richard Dreyfuss, Lyriq Bent, Colm Feore,\nKrista Bridges and Art Hindle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Birds Without Feathers<\/em> \u2013 The plot of this independent\ncomedy\/drama follows a group of misfits trying to find their way in the world.\nTheir issues lead to desperate attempts to get attention and approval from\nothers using ineffective and sometimes self-harmful ways. The main characters include\na wannabe Instagram star, an identity thief and a motivational speaker. This\nfeature premiered at Slamdance and has played a few film festivals, but as of\nright now, there aren\u2019t many reviews for it. As such, those curious about the picture\nwill just have to take a chance on it. The cast includes Wendy McColm, Cooper\nOznowicz, Alexander Stasko, William Gabriel Grier, Sara Estefanos and Lenae\nDay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doom: Annihilation<\/em> \u2013 Remember the old computer game Doom? Or the 2005 big screen adaptation featuring Karl Urban and Dwayne Johnson? Well, the rights have passed on to another company and they\u2019ve developed a new low-budget horror flick based on the very same property. It follows a new group of Space Marines who receive a distress call on a Martian moon and go to help, only to be attacked an army of monstrous creatures. Frankly, I didn\u2019t even know this title existed and it is premiering on disc, so absolutely no one has seen it. As such, anyone who isn\u2019t a low-budget horror fan should approach this little movie with extreme caution. Nina Bergman, Amy Manson, Kate Nicols, Louis Mandylor and Jema Moore headline the flick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Driver<\/em> \u2013 Also known as Acceleration<\/em> in some parts\nof the world, here\u2019s yet another straight-to-disc action effort. It\u2019s about a\ncrime lord who finds himself double-crossed by one of his most trusted operatives.\nIn retaliation, the kingpin kidnaps the employee\u2019s son and forces her to go out\nand take out a series of enemies in order to get her child back. Naturally,\nwhile she\u2019s out taking care of business, she looks for a way to finish off her\nboss. Once again, this picture was made on the cheap and no one knows a thing\nabout this title, so one shouldn\u2019t expect much from it. At least it has an\nimpressive cast that features Sean Patrick Flannery, Dolph Lundgren, Natalie\nBurn, Quinton \u201cRampage\u201d Jackson and Danny Trejo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Encounter<\/em> \u2013 Watch out for\u2026 rural fields, apparently. In this sci-fi picture, a disabled man suffering from depression and his group of friends don\u2019t heed that warning and investigate a strange sight in some nearby terrain. Once there, they uncover a strange alien object. The group call in for some help from a local professor, who tries to assist them in discovering what the item is, along with the bizarre lifeform inside that could be from another world. Alas, it\u2019s the same story for this release as for a few others listed in this article. Few have seen it and for most it will premiering on disc. One review that has popped up online is terrible. It suggests that despite plenty of talent, the skills behind the camera are undeveloped, resulting in a very ineffective alien picture. Luke Hemsworth, Anna Hutchinson and Tom Atkins take on the lead roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Framing John DeLorean<\/em> \u2013 This unusual documentary recounts\nthe life story of vehicle manufacturer John DeLorean and tells his story using both\narchival footage and reenactments with a full cast of specific chapters in the\nman\u2019s life. Naturally, the events featured include the man\u2019s work at General\nMotors, his attempts to build the ultimate automobile, and the dramatic fall\nfrom grace that followed. Critics liked the approach taken and gave the title high\nmarks. One or two write-ups found it a strange concoction that didn\u2019t appeal\nthem, but the vast majority though the story was fascinating and complimented\nthe unique approach, suggesting it was an appropriately nutty way to deal with\na true eccentric. Alec Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Josh Charles and Jason Jones\nappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil<\/em> \u2013 In this\nforeign-language picture from South Korea, a crime boss is attacked by a vicious\nand cunning serial killer. Barely surviving, he slowly recovers, determined to\nfind the person responsible. He becomes so obsessed that he teams up with a local\ndetective and the two work together using all resources available to locate and\nvanquish the threat. Response towards this thriller was very positive. While\none or two didn\u2019t think the dramatic moments between the leads spoke to them,\nalmost all others were taken by what they saw. They wrote that it was\nfaced-paced, exciting, suspenseful and veered successfully between various\ngenres, making it an extremely compelling flick. Dong-seok Ma, Mu-Yeol Kim and Kim\nSungkyu play the title characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Itsy Bitsy<\/em> \u2013 In this independent horror picture, a nurse\ndecides to take her family out of the city and gets a job in the country caring\nfor an older gentleman with multiple sclerosis. However, after accidentally finding\nan old relic in the patient\u2019s house, a threatening creature comes to life. Any\nguesses on what kind of terrifying monster it might be? Reaction towards this\ngenre picture was split. About half thought that the digital effects weren\u2019t\nvery well executed, killing much of the suspense. Still, just as many stated\nthat the film did a good job of establishing a creepy mood and admired the gooeyness\non display. It features Elizabeth Roberts, Bruce Davison, Denise Crosby, Arman\nDarbo and, presumably, a big and menacing spider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jarhead: Law of Return<\/em> \u2013 The 2005 film Jarhead<\/em>\nwith Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx garnered some great reviews back in its\nday. Amazingly, in the past five years there have been several sequels to the original\nfilm, featuring a new cast and made primarily for the home video market.\nFrankly, I wasn\u2019t even aware that any of them existed. This follow-up involves\na Major and son of a US Senator who is shot down while flying over Syria. After\nbeing taken captive, an elite team attempts to rescue him. As you might have\nalready guessed, this one is making its debut on disc, so as of right now no\none has seen it. Don\u2019t expect it to be anywhere close to the same league as the\noriginal. The cast includes Devon Sawa, Robert Patrick, Amaury Nolasco, Yael\nEitan, Nicolas Aaron and Ben Cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maiden<\/em> \u2013 This documentary has received a great deal\nof excellent press since its release earlier in the year. It details the story\nTracy Edwards, a 24-year-old charter boat cook who, in 1989, became the skipper\nof the first all-female crew ever to compete in the Whitbreak Round the World\nrace. The footage shows how no one believed that she could do it, the bad publicity\nthe team garnered, and even displays many competitors taking bets on the level\nof her failure. As many readers might have guessed, things turned out differently\nthan expected. Virtually all reviewers noted that the editing did a great job\nof placing the viewer out on the waters with the team and called it an exciting\nand inspirational feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em> \u2013 An animated faith-based film\nmakes its debut on disc this week in an adaptation of the John Bunyan novel. Apparently,\nthis is a modernization of the story featuring an everyman of sorts, who\ndecides to head out on a journey from his home city to the Celestial City on\nMount Zion. The hero faces challenges at every stop on his long and difficult quest,\neventually joining with guides on a similar trek. The movie received a limited\nrelease earlier in the year, but there weren\u2019t many reviews. A few online\nwrite-ups have suggested that the animation isn\u2019t quite up to the standards of\nbigger productions. The voice cast includes David Thorpe, John Rhys-Davies and\nKristyn Getty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Proposal<\/em> – Luis Barrag\u00e1n is considered by many\nexperts to be one of the greatest architects of the 20th<\/sup> century.\nUnfortunately, a great deal of his work was locked away in a Swiss bunker upon\nhis death in 1988 and is inaccessible to the public. This documentary follows a\nmodern-day artist and fan of the figure who strives to uncover Barrag\u00e1n\u2019s work\nand release it to the public via a \u201cdaring proposition\u201d. Reaction towards the feature\nwas upbeat and positive. When one or two reviewers couldn\u2019t get on the film\u2019s\nwavelength, most thought that this was an impressively shot effort that offered\nsome interesting insight as to who should have access to a person\u2019s art and legacy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spider-Man: Far from Home<\/em> \u2013 The big release of the week is this Marvel superhero sequel taking place after the events of the previous Avengers<\/em> film. Peter Parker attempts to adjust back to his normal life and reestablish old relationships while on a school trip to Europe. However, new dangers arise. Parker also encounters and befriends another powerful figure named Magneto, whose motivations may not be as clear as initially thought. The press gave the latest franchise chapter high marks. A small percentage described it as a comedown after the previous Marvel flick. However, the majority referred to this follow-up as a fun and breezy piece of summer entertainment with plenty of thrills and laughs. It stars Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marisa Tomei, John Favreau and Zendaya.

The film details his upbringing and efforts to overcome a physical\ndisability and his rise in the wrestling world. It also goes into his Olympic\nquest and how his ultimate victory was stripped from him as well as the fallout\nthat followed the decision. While the feature did receive a limited release, as\nof yet there don\u2019t appear to be any notices available. One assumes that sports and\nwrestling enthusiasts might find it to be interesting. The events and footage shown\nis narrated by William Baldwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blasts from the Past!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some fun looking older titles are also making their Blu-ray debut. The Prey<\/em> (1984), about campers being stalked by a scarred wild man, was actually made in 1979 just before the height of the slasher craze, but was eventually granted a VHS release five years later. It quickly disappeared and was never put out on DVD. This week, Arrow Video are giving the film the spiffy Blu-ray treatment. This 2-disc Limited Edition (the print run is 3000 copies) features three cuts of the film including the theatrical, International and composite cuts. All of the versions including the director-approved theatrical cut have been given 2K restorations and the release comes with two commentaries, one featuring the producer and the other with horror fans and experts. There\u2019s also an interview with the director, numerous cast interviews, a Q&A from Frightmare fest, an audience reaction track, publicity materials and other great bonuses. If you do remember the film, then you\u2019ll be very happy with what you see here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kino have some Blu-rays of a couple of 1uirky flicks. The first is the Roger Moore comic spy riff, ffolkes<\/em> (1980) aka North Sea Hijack<\/em>. When terrorists led by Antony Hopkins threaten to blow up an oil rig, the British government sends in this eccentric, cat-loving, woman-hating secret agent to save the day. At the time, Moore was famous for playing the suave spy James Bond and the movie was an attempt to play him against that image. The disc includes a film historian audio commentary and the theatrical trailer. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nightmare Beach<\/em> (1989) features a motorcycle rider\nwho is killed and then returns from the dead to take revenge on those\nresponsible for his death. The Italian production was shot in Florida and includes\nappearances from Michael Parks and John Saxon. This Special Edition has both\nthe English and Italian audio tracks, as well as a film historian commentary and\nin interview with Claudio Simonetti (of Goblin fame).<\/p>\n\n\n\n They also have the Rutger Hauer action picture, Wanted:\nDead or Alive<\/em> (1986), about a bounty hunter tasked with catching a\npsychotic criminal essayed by Gene Simmons. This is a Special Edition and comes\nwith a director commentary and interview, a talk with co-star Mel Harris and two\ntrailers for the picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Universal Pictures are releasing The House of Hitchcock\nCollection<\/em>, which features 15 of the best Alfred Hitchcock from the studio Universal\nin impressive and elaborate packaging. All of the previously released extras\nare included here as well. If you\u2019re a fan of the filmmaker, this seems like an\nimpressive set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also tons of Marvel Superhero movies being rereleasing\non Blu-ray in 4K (for those who have high resolution TVs). Warner Bros. are\noffering Gremlins<\/em> (1984) and The Shining<\/em> (1980) in the updated\nformat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And Paramount are making the comedies The Addams Family<\/em>\n(1991) and Addams Family Values<\/em> (1993) available as a double-feature\nBlu-ray. They\u2019re also being made available separately (personally, I\u2019m partial\nto the follow-up), so you can pick up one or both depending on your preference.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You Know, For Kids!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some titles that children may be interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Addams Family<\/em> (1991)\/Addams Family Values<\/em> (1993) Blu-ray Double-Feature On the Tube!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And you\u2019ll find the week\u2019s TV-themed releases below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n American Masters: Raul Julia \u2013 The World\u2019s a Stage<\/em> (PBS) ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DVD-American-Chaos-truck.jpg\")
