Upon learning that their deceased captain has been accused of associating with drug cartels, the protagonists decide to prove him innocent. They cross paths with past villains and familiar faces in order to discover the truth. The film itself was a box office hit and more critics liked it than disliked it. About one-third complained that while the leads were charismatic, the story and dialogue was beneath them. They stated that the film didn\u2019t make much sense and was a tonal mess. Still, the majority called the movie entertaining and a funny homage to action pictures of an earlier era.

He must face many threats as he returns to\nthe frontier, and even has to protect his youngsters from enemies after they\nsteal beaver pellets in order to take care of their mother. Not many members of\nthe press have seen this independent western, but those who did were generally\ncomplimentary. Several complained that the story was weak and didn&#8217;t seem to\nrepresent the character accurately. But more wrote that this was a decent\nB-movie that delivered thrills and presented a new take on Crockett. For the\ntime being, this is a DVD-only release. The cast includes Colm Meaney, William\nMoseley, Jesse Hutch and Valerie Jane Parker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Before-Dawn-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29524\" width=\"273\" height=\"171\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BEFORE DAWN \u2013 A youngster from the Australian outback\nconsiders serving his country during World War I. He is told by his father to\nbe very careful and initially makes friends with those in his battalion.\nHowever, the lead and his pals are quickly sent to the western front where they\ncome face to face with the enemy. They soon learn about the brutality of war.\nThis Aussie feature earned a few awards nominations at a couple of film\nfestivals around the world, but didn\u2019t impress reviewers in this part of the world.\nA few thought the feature was an interesting and personal study of the effects\nof war on a soldier. Yet the consensus was that the picture suffered from poor\npacing and wasn\u2019t able to suspend disbelief in its depictions of battle scenes.\nThey didn\u2019t think the movie measured up to other titles on the subject. It\nfeatures Levi Miller, Travis Jeffery, Myles Pollard and Tim Franklin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Canary-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29525\" width=\"294\" height=\"174\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CANARY &#8211; Dr. Lonnie Thompson is the subject of this\ndocumentary.

Viewers learn what inspired him\nand the incredible discoveries he has made about the effects of climate change.\nThe feature was very well-received. A handful thought that the material was\npresented in a flat and dull manner and didn\u2019t grip them as much as it should\nhave. However, everyone else believed that the movie effectively delivered its\nmessage by helping viewers understand the man\u2019s detailed past. They also stated\nthat the movie brought attention to a very important issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Despicable-Me-Part-4-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29526\" width=\"279\" height=\"172\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DESPICABLE ME 4 \u2013 The latest chapter in this long-running\nanimated family series about ex-super villain-turned-nice-guy Gru sees he and\nhis minions adjusted to their new lives as decent members of society.

The situation is complicated by Gru\u2019s infant son, who is determined to\ntorment his father and cause comedic complications for everyone. This follow-up\nreceived almost as many negative write-ups as it did positive ones. Close to\nhalf suggested that the story was weak and formulaic, the majority of gags fell\nflat and that viewers would forget the picture quickly. The same number and a\nfew more liked that it focused on family life and wrote that it delivered\nenough chuckles to entertain viewers.

This time out, the star is actually\nplaying an actor in a horror movie performing the role of a priest. His\nbehavior begins to spiral downward when his estranged daughter visits the set.\nInitially, she believes he may have started drinking again, but soon begins to\nwonder if he might really be possessed by a demon. Reaction to this picture was\ngenerally poor. A small number commented that the story presented a few twists\non the typical exorcism formula and featured solid performances from the cast.\nUnfortunately, most stated that the story slowly fell apart and ended up\nfollowing dull genre film tropes instead of developing the characters. Besides\nCrowe, it also features Ryan Simpkins, Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey and Adam\nGoldberg.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-In-A-Violent-Nation-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29528\" width=\"277\" height=\"174\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IN A VIOLENT NATURE \u2013 This independent chiller from Canada\ninvolves a group of partying teens who discover a locket in the woods. Moments\nlater, a figure rises from the ground. He begins to hunt them all down,\ndetermined to retrieve the item. Viewers essentially follow the mute slayer\naround, getting brief glimpses into his past and motivations as he seeks out\nhis latest targets. This film was picked up and has been streaming on Shudder\nfor a few months. Now it is receiving a DVD-only release. It was well-received\nby critics. About one-fifth of them didn\u2019t like the unusual tactic of staying\nwith the killer though most of the running time and found the movie extremely\nviolent and difficult to endure. But most felt that the different perspective\nand presentation was what made this effort unique and fascinating. They were\ntruly horrified by what they saw and also thought it provided effective\ncommentary on the slasher genre. It stars Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron\nLove and Reece Presley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Jurassic-Exorcist-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29529\" width=\"283\" height=\"172\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JURASSIC EXORCIST \u2013 Regular readers might already know about\nWild Eye Releasing, a distributor who releases ultra-low-budget (essentially\nhomemade), independent genre films. The latest is from the director of <em>Cocaine\nShark, Amityville in Space<\/em> and <em>Jurassic Shark<\/em> (among many others).\nAfter a sinister cult leader uses time travel to possess a dinosaur and make it\ndo his bidding, a priest must step forward to stop it before it eats all the\nlocals. As you might have guessed, this title is debuting on DVD (and will only\nbe available in this format) and so it hasn\u2019t been screened for the press. One\nexpects that those who get a kick out of watching cheesy no-budget movies and\nenjoy the director\u2019s other efforts may appreciate this one too, but those\nunfamiliar with this type of picture may struggle with it. The cast includes\nTitus Himmelberger, Natalie Himmelberger, Ryan Dalton and Jeff Kirkendall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Longlegs-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29530\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LONGLEGS \u2013 This horror film was one of the surprise hits of\nthe summer. It follows an FBI agent in Oregon hunting down a serial killer who\nslays entire families. As she pursues this figure, the protagonist finds\nevidence that the person was into occult practices. She begins having\nhorrifying clairvoyant visions that push her towards a breaking point. As\nmentioned, the movie made an impression on audiences and received strong\nresponses from the press. A small number disliked the movie, asserting that after\na decent start, the weak and predictable script failed to frighten or engage\nthem. Yet the consensus was that the picture was memorably shocking with an\nunnerving performance by the villain that could possibly make the film a cult\nclassic. Two versions of this title are available, including a 4K Ultra HD and\nBlu-ray combo, and a standalone Blu-ray. Maika Monroe, Nicolas Cage, Blair\nUnderwood and Alicia Witt headline the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Omen-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29531\" width=\"310\" height=\"187\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OMEN \u2013 Released in its homeland under the title <em>Augure<\/em>,\nthis foreign-language drama involves a Congolese man who decides to return home\nafter living for 16 years in Belgium. He arrives with his fianc\u00e9 and\nimmediately begins to experience less-than-hospitable behavior from his\ndomineering mother and the deeply religious townspeople. In fact, they start\ncalling his future bride cursed. The two struggle with how to respond as some\ndemand that they take part in a religious ritual to rid them of evil. This\nfeature was Belgium\u2019s submission for Best International Film at the most recent\nAcademy Awards. It didn\u2019t receive a nomination, but reviews were good. A few\ncommented that the movie had too many plotlines and struggled to develop all of\nits elements effectively. Still, all others called the movie a dynamic and beautifully\nshot drama showing how legends and ancient practices can impact lives.

As more is revealed and violence begins to\nseem like the only option between them, one or two do their best to clear their\nname, get to the bottom of things and avoid a bloodbath. This picture has only\nbeen seen by a handful of press members. One thought that while it could have been\ndone with a wider scope, it was a well-acted effort that delivered some tense\nmoments. Unfortunately, more felt that the characters were not well developed\nand that it was just another ineffective direct-to-disc effort. For the time\nbeing, the movie will only be available on DVD. The cast includes Eric Roberts,\nLiam James Collins, Arthur Sylense and Jonathan Peacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Olga-Kurylenko-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29534\" width=\"307\" height=\"191\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PARADOX EFFECT \u2013 An ex-junkie turning her life around is\nexcited to pick up her young daughter from the airport.

As it turns out, the rider\u2019s son has been taken hostage by the criminal.\nThe two make a deal to try and help each other survive with their kids. This\npicture appears to be debuting on disc in this part of the world, but a few\nmixed-negative notices have appeared from other regions. They suggest that the\ncast are decent and that the film is well-produced, but suffers from pacing\nissues and plot holes, failing to provide the necessary excitement in order to\nearn it a recommendation. It stars Olga Kurylenko, Oliver Trevena and Harvey\nKeitel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DVD-Succubus-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29533\" width=\"304\" height=\"166\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SUCCUBUS \u2013 A stressed-out new parent who has recently\nseparated from his wife considers signing up for a dating app. Once registered,\nhe meets a very forward woman and has a spicy video chat with her. Not long\nafter, the lead is contacted by a professor who claims the lady he was speaking\nto is incredibly dangerous\u2026 and perhaps even a supernatural entity. The man\nsoon finds himself lost within this woman\u2019s strange world. Using his cell\nphone, he gets hold of the teacher who attempts to guide him to safety. This\nchiller is a DVD-only release and it is debuting on disc. Unfortunately, no one\nat present has seen it. That means you\u2019ll be taking this on with no prior\nknowledge as to its quality (who knows, perhaps evil forces are trying to tempt\nyou into watching it right now!).

A young trans woman working in a cinema and searching for a\nlong-lost film must also deal with dating problems and an uncertain future in\nher small town. When an earthquake strikes, the ground opens up and releases\nancient parasites. These creatures thrive on hatred and begin to search for\nhosts, turning locals into violent psychopaths and making them act on hidden\nImpulses. The lead tries to get out of the village for good. This has been\nwell-received by reviewers. They all noted that while the movie is\nless-than-subtle with its message, it is very funny and high-energy. They also\npraised the performances and gruesome effects as being gleefully over-the-top\nand also called the movie strangely heartwarming. The movie is also known in\nsome areas as <em>T Blockers<\/em>.

As this occurs,\nwe see flashbacks of how they met and what occurred in their relationship. This\npicture wowed critics and is also Iceland\u2019s submission for Best International\nFilm for the upcoming Academy Awards. A few individuals didn\u2019t like all the\nflashbacks and called the movie melodramatic and slow-moving.

In the process, they uncover\nsinister plans by the mob and a mega-corporation to use the dead for their own\nnefarious purposes. Genre film critics liked the movie.
