So, since you likely can\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t go out to the movies this\nweek, be sure to give one of these titles a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Big New Releases!<\/strong><\/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-alien-addiction.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21331\" width=\"304\" height=\"164\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Alien Addiction<\/em> \u2013 A young man living in a small town in the Waikato district of New Zealand get the surprise of his life when an alien spacecraft crashes nearby. &nbsp;He takes the UFO\u2019s two occupants to his home and the group get along famously, developing a close personal relationship in the process. Unfortunately, experts tracking down aliens soon arrive and threaten to reveal the man\u2019s secret to the world. This wacky comedy is described as having a similar vibe to early Peter Jackson titles like <em>Bad Taste<\/em> and <em>Braindead<\/em>. There currently aren\u2019t a great many write-up in this part of the world, but the ones that have appeared online from other parts are quite positive. They state that while the stoner gags do get repetitive, the movie is amusing and provides plenty of chuckles. It features Jimi Jackson, Thomas Sainsbury, Jojo Waaka, and Harry Summerfield.<\/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-Legend-of-Tomiris-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21332\" width=\"295\" height=\"165\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Legend of Tomiris<\/em> \u2013 This Kazakhstan production is\na historical epic. Told from the point of view of Greek historian Herodotus, it\ndetails the life of Queen Tomiri, leader of\nthe Massagetae people. This woman not only trained herself to be a great\nwarrior, but fought off invading forces led by Cyrus the Great, King of Persia.\nIn fact, she eventually defeated his army and fought her enemy on the battlefield.\nThis picture won a prize at the L&#8217;\u00c9trange Festival in Paris earlier in the\nyear. The movie hasn\u2019t been seen by a lot of critics outside of attendees at\nthe festival. One or two articles have popped up online, describing it as a\ngood film with impression production design. However, they did warn that it was\noverlong and as a result not as exciting as it could have been. Almira Tursyn, Adil\nAkhmetov and Erkebulan Dairov headline the feature.<\/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-loves-me-loves-me-not-blu.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21333\" width=\"234\" height=\"159\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Loves Me, Loves Me Not<\/em> \u2013 This little independent\ncomedy involves a woman desperately looking for Mr. Right. Unfortunately, her\ngoal turns out to be far more difficult than originally thought. Over the course\nof the running time, the protagonist finds herself on a series of strange and\ncomical misadventures with potential mates who all seem to be either inappropriate,\nunobtainable or unmanageable. The press synopsis describes the movie as <em>Looking\nfor Mr. Goodbar<\/em> meets <em>Sex and the City<\/em>. This feature is premiering\non disc and as a result there are absolutely no press write-ups for it. So,\nlike the lead character on one of her dating adventures, those interested will\nhave to go in cold and hope for the best. The cast includes Isabelle Chester, David\nDeLuise, David Chokachi and Paul Rodriguez.<\/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-sea-level-2-magic-arch-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21334\" width=\"274\" height=\"153\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sea Level 2: Magic Arch<\/em> \u2013 Back in 2011, a Malaysian straight-to-video\nanimated family movie called <em>Sea Level aka SeeFood<\/em> was released. The\nstory involved a group of marine creatures trying to stop human poachers from\nstealing eggs. After nearly a decade, a sequel is being released. This follow-up\nis presumably a direct continuation of the original. However, at present there\nis literally no information confirming this or the story in general. No plot, no\ndescription, only a tag line written on the cover that says, \u201cFrom a writer of <em>Toy\nStory<\/em>\u201d. Other than the movie being something of a knock-off of <em>Finding\nNemo<\/em>, your guess is as good as mine as to what it all entails. The picture\nis being released on DVD only from LionsGate and they\u2019re also making it\navailable as a Double-Feature DVD with the first flick. There isn\u2019t even any information\nwho was involved in the English language voice-overs, so readers should\napproach with caution. <\/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-silencing-car-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21335\" width=\"301\" height=\"169\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Silencing<\/em> \u2013 Frustrated with the modern world and still\nreeling from the disappearance of his daughter, a reformed hunter decides to\nlive in isolation and run a wildlife sanctuary. Of course, he doesn\u2019t stay a recluse\nfor long after coming across a young girl and saving her from a serial killer.\nMuch to his chagrin, authorities arrive and ask for his help in catching and\nbringing the psychopath to justice. Reaction towards this independent thriller\nwasn\u2019t particularly strong. One or two wrote that the feature was a passable\nlittle thriller with a few interesting characters. Unfortunately, everyone else\nseemed to agree that there was nothing about the that was original and that this\nwas a strictly by-the-numbers affair. It features Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Annabelle\nWallis, Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Zahn McClarnon. <\/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-welcome-to-sudden-death-jai-white-fixed-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21336\" width=\"303\" height=\"159\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Welcome to Sudden Death<\/em> \u2013 This unexpected arrival is\ndescribed as a sequel to the 1995 Jean-Claude Van Damme action flick, <em>Sudden\nDeath<\/em>. I\u2019ll be honest and say that I was very amused by the original, which\nfeatured a fireman at the Stanley Cup hockey playoffs saving his children, the\nPresident and an arena full of hockey fans from a gang of nasty terrorists. This\nfollow-up has an entirely new cast and follows a security guard battling some tech-savvy\nthugs who decide to take hostages inside of a basketball arena. As of right\nnow, this is a DVD-only release through Universal and it has yet to be shown to\ncritics. One can only hope a character gets involved in a martial arts fight wearing\na mascot uniform like in the original film. It stars Michael Jai-White, Michael\nEklund, Sabryn Rock, Anthony Grant and Nakai Takawira. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Blasts from the Past!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s slim pickings this week for new releases (don\u2019t\nworry, folks, the next few weeks will be better), there are a truckload of\ninteresting older titles receiving high definition upgrades. <\/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-cruel-jaws-shark-1024x570.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21337\" width=\"283\" height=\"157\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First up is a fun cult item. Severin are finally releasing a notorious film for the first time ever in this part of the world. <em>Cruel Jaws<\/em> (1995) aka <em>Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws<\/em> is an Italian <em>Jaws<\/em> knock off that was advertised in some international territories as a sequel to the classic series. Hollywood studio Universal discovered that shark clips from the series (as well as similar movies) had been inserted in the picture and got upset, preventing its release in North America for decades. Severin have finally managed to transfer the movie to Blu-ray and are giving it a release &#8230; although it might get pulled again. The movie itself is entertainingly terrible and features plenty of unintentional laughs (as well as having a lead who looks a lot like wrestler Hulk Hogan), making it a midnight favorite. Besides being remastered and uncut in HD for the first time ever, the disc includes the unreleased extended Japanese cut, a featurette study in \u201cSharkspoitation\u201d flicks, an interview with one of the cast members and a trailer.

The vault negative was located in\nJakarta and has been remastered, and the release comes with an interview with\nthe producer as well as the screenwriter, along with an alternate title\nsequence and trailer. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch out for Aunt Martha!
