This comedy details two couples who have mixed feelings about becoming parents. They end up deciding that the best option for them is to share an infant between them. Initially, the unusual plan seems to work as they divide their time and efforts equally. However, complications arise and the situation soon begins to spiral completely out of control. Overall, the press generally liked this independent feature. Those who didn\u2019t care for it stated that the flick started well but that it was overlong and that the problems and characters eventually wore out their welcome. Still, more called the movie a raunchy and sweet ride, noting that it had some humorous observations on modern parenting. It stars Danny Pudi, Emily C. Chang, Maiara Walsh and Eddie Alfano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DVD-babyteeth-lead-1024x584.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21301\" width=\"303\" height=\"172\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Babyteeth<\/em> \u2013 A terminally ill teenager with nothing to\nlose in life chooses to start dating a smalltime drug dealer.

Still, she continues to do as she pleases and without\nrealizing it makes everyone around her question several of their own life\nchoices. While the synopsis sounds somber, this picture is actually a\ncomedy\/drama from Australia that not only received strong notices, but also won\nplenty of awards at film festivals. A handful of write-ups complained that the\nmovie didn\u2019t speak to them and found the characters annoyingly quirky. However,\nthe vast majority commented that the feature was well-performed and ably addressed\nthe contradictory feelings many would have in such a situation.

According to the\nplot synopsis, the only thing that can stop the bloody vengeance is his\nnewfound faith.

After a storm hits town, a mysterious stranger appears who begins to teach her about the aforementioned \u201csecret\u201d (the cynical part of me wonders if the big plan involves writing an expensive book guaranteeing wealth and riches to those who purchase it). Anyway, in a few short days, her world and attitude change. This drama was not well-received by critics. A few of them thought the performances were good and that it was an entertaining enough tale if you didn\u2019t take it seriously. Others said it reminded them of a low-tier Nicholas Sparks adaptation, saying the movie was shallow and did little to inspire viewers.

The distributor also\nhas a Double Feature Blu-ray release containing the hit flicks <em>Now You See\nMe<\/em> (2013) and <em>Now You See Me 2<\/em> (2016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DVD-weird-woman-poster.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21318\" width=\"230\" height=\"332\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just to mix things up, Criterion are entering the fray this\nweek with <em>Christ Stopped at Eboli<\/em> (1979), the award-winning Italian anti-fascist\ndrama. The movie has received a 2K digital restoration and comes with new\nEnglish subtitles, a 1978 documentary on Italian political cinema, an excerpt\nof a 1974 special featuring the director, another talk with the filmmaker from\n2014 and other remarkable extras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Inner Sanctum Mysteries<\/em> were a series of hugely popular\nprograms on the radio back in the 40s that were based on a run of pulpy novels about\na detective solving various murders. The series also ending up being adapted into\na series of movies. This week, Mill Creek are putting out the <em>Inner Sanctum\nMysteries<\/em> Blu-ray. Those who pick it up will be able to check out <em>Calling\nDr. Death<\/em>&nbsp;(1943), <em>Weird Woman<\/em>&nbsp;(1944), <em>Dead Man\u2019s Eyes <\/em>(1944),\n<em>The Frozen Ghost<\/em> (1945), <em>Strange Confession<\/em> (1945) and, the best\ntitle of the bunch\u2026 <em>Pillow of Death<\/em> (1945)! According to press releases,\nin addition to the updated picture quality the set also includes commentary\ntracks and other entertaining bonuses. Looks like great fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film Movement would like it known that they have a new\nBlu-ray of <em>I Am a Dancer<\/em> (1972), an award-winning documentary about renowned\nballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev with excepts from his performances. The disc\nincludes featurettes on the figure and a 16-page booklet on the movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DVD-spooky-house-kingsley.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21319\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unobstructed View are releasing a Blu-ray of the family flick <em>Spooky House<\/em> (2002), a movie with an impressive cast.  Apparently, it is about a magician who uses his special skills to help an orphan use illusion to deal with some bullies. I have absolutely no previous knowledge of the movie having ever existed. Maybe that&#8217;s part of the &#8220;magic&#8221; or perhaps it somehow just happened to have slipped under my radar. It stars Ben Kingsley, Mercedes Ruehl and Simon Baker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warner Brothers are releasing a Blu-ray box set called the <em>Stanley\nKubrick 3-Film Collection 4K<\/em>. As you may have already guessed, it features new\n4K transfers of three of the filmmaker\u2019s titles. The trio include <em>2001: A\nSpace Odyssey<\/em> (1968), <em>The Shining<\/em> (1980) and <em>Full Metal Jacket<\/em>\n(1987). If you\u2019re only interested in individual titles, <em>Full Metal Jacket<\/em>\n(1987) will be available separately and one assumes that the others will also\nfollow suit in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, Warner Archive are presenting <em>That\u2019s Entertainment:\nThe Complete Collection<\/em> as a made-to-order Blu-ray set. This trilogy of\nfilms is a montage of famous clips from the studio\u2019s greatest musicals,\nfeaturing some incredibly elaborate dance numbers. You\u2019ll get <em>That&#8217;s\nEntertainment!<\/em> (1974), <em>That&#8217;s Entertainment, Part II<\/em> (1976) and <em>That&#8217;s\nEntertainment III<\/em> (1994). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You Know, For Kids!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the latest options for youngsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl <\/em>Blu-ray (2005) <br><em>Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood: Explore the Outdoors<\/em> (PBS Kids) <br><em>Nickelodeon Movies Family Adventure 3-Movie Collection<\/em> DVD \u2013 <em>Dora the Explorer<\/em> (2019), <em>Monster Trucks<\/em> (2016), <em>Wonder Park<\/em> (2019)  <br><em>Nick Jr: Fantastic Fall!<\/em> (Nickelodeon)  <br><em>Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs<\/em> <br><em>Spooky House<\/em> Bu-ray (2002)  <br><em>Spy Kids<\/em> <em>Triple Feature<\/em> Blu-ray (2001 \u2013 2003)  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the Tube!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here are the week\u2019s TV-themed releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>DC\u2019s Legends of Tomorrow<\/em>: Season 5 <br><em>The Good Fight<\/em>: Season 4  <br><em>Legends of Tomorrow<\/em>: Season 5  <br><em>Lucy Worsley&#8217;s 12 Days of Tudor Christmas<\/em> (PBS)  <br><em>Man With a Plan<\/em>: Season 3  <br><em>Nick Jr: Fantastic Fall!<\/em> (Nickelodeon)  <br><em>Rick &amp; Morty<\/em>: Season 4  <br><em>Royal Pains<\/em>: The Complete Series  <br><em>Sanctuary<\/em>: Season 1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Abominable Mr. Phibes - Vincent Price (1971) - Official Trailer\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F0eunl6x9W4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=31eZL1rEcTI\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Brothers Grimm | Official Trailer (HD) - Matt Damon, Heath Ledger | MIRAMAX\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ohxNxVlk2GQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Swingers (1996) Official Trailer #1 - Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau Comedy\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nWCct8XbQD0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spooky House - Trailer\" width=\"1290\" height=\"968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6LxIZdMlqDk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to another look at some of the highlights coming your way on Blu-ray and DVD.
