<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nA BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY \u2013 A man in need of a vehicle to attend a wedding visits a bizarre rental agency. The odd staff give him an older vehicle with almost fantastic capabilities. Once at his destination, he meets a woman and sparks fly, but she isn\u2019t interested in any sort of romantic connection. Despite this, his car and other strange coincidences continue to force them together. The pair discuss their personal histories and enter strange recreations of important past events in their lives, drawing them closer together. This romantic-comedy did not fare well with the press. One-third did appreciate the work of the lead performers and called the film visually striking, with very funny and astute observations about relationships. Unfortunately, all others thought there was no romantic chemistry between the stars. They commented that the comedic and dramatic moments didn\u2019t mesh well, calling the final result a misfire. It stars Colin Farrell, Margot Robbie, Kevin Kline, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Lily Rabe.

The young man who stopped the notorious \u201cGrabber\u201d\nin the previous title becomes worried after his sister begins experiencing\ndisturbing dreams. They investigate the setting of the visions, travel to a\nnearby campsite, and get snowed in. Then, they receive calls from the Grabber\nvowing revenge and stating he will murder them in their dreams as they sleep.\nCritics generally enjoyed this follow-up. Slightly more than one-quarter of\nnotices complained that the film was slow paced and the focus on dreams didn\u2019t\ngenerate much in the way of thrills. Still, the majority found the movie to be\nan effective and creepy homage to a popular 80s genre franchise, offering\nmemorable scares and interesting visuals. The film will be available in a 4K\nUltra HD and Blu-ray combo pack, a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Walmart exclusive\nSteelbook, a standalone Blu-ray or in a 4K Ultra HD only 2-pack containing the\nfirst title and this sequel. The cast includes Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames,\nMadeleine McGraw, Demi\u00e1n Bichir and Jeremy Davies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BUGONIA \u2013 The latest bit of strangeness from eccentric\nfilmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, Poor Things<\/em>) is this\nscience-fiction black comedy. It is actually a remake of a 2003 South Korean\nfeature. A pharmaceutical CEO is kidnapped by a conspiracy theorist and his\nautistic cousin. They take her to a remote farmhouse and tell the woman they\nbelieve she is an alien planning to help her kind take control of the Earth.\nThe CEO does everything she can to try and free herself, including manipulating\nthe men and even leaning into the conspiracy. Response was very upbeat towards\nthis quirky and occasionally disturbing tale. A small number found the extreme\ncharacters presented difficult to relate to and suggested the over-the-top\nclimax fell flat. Yet most stated that, while the picture wasn\u2019t for everyone,\nit was a brilliantly acted and compelling story that took wild twists and\nturns. They also appreciated its dark tone and memorable finale. The film is\navailable as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray \u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d, a 4K Ultra HD and\nBlu-ray \u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d Steelbook and a standalone Blu-ray. Emma Stone,\nJesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone headline\nthe picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n THE LONG WALK \u2013 Last month, this feature arrived on disc as an Amazon exclusive. As of this week, it should be available everywhere as a regular 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo. The latest Stephen King film adaptation is based on an early book from the author written under the pen name Richard Bachman. In this tale, the country has been taken over by a totalitarian government, leaving most of the country poor. A televised competition is developed to inspire the nation. In it, a young male from every state participates in a walk for incredible riches. But, whenever one of them moves at less than 3 miles per hour or can\u2019t go on, they are shot dead. The last person left walking wins. Viewers follow a group of competitors in this horrific challenge. This dark drama earned excellent reviews. A tiny contingent found the picture so depressing and hopeless that they couldn\u2019t recommend it. However, everyone else was deeply impressed by the work of the cast and the characterizations. They found the movie both shocking and powerful. It stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonnson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Mark Hamill and Judy Greer.

Authorities won\u2019t help the\nlead, despite her assertion that the child was kidnapped. After hearing about\nher story, a man in the child recovery business asks for her assistance in\nhelping him recover other stolen children. He promises working for him will\nallow them to also investigate her own daughter\u2019s disappearance. After several\nyears, she becomes frustrated at the lack of progress, but one day she finds\nnew evidence and sets out to retrieve her daughter at any cost. Reaction\ntowards this thrilled thus far is mixed. Almost half stated that the lead\nperformance was strong and that the picture did a decent job of recreating a\nparent\u2019s worst nightmare. The same number and a few more found the subject\nheartbreaking, but claimed the characters didn\u2019t possess much depth and the\nfeature came across as an ordinary B-movie thriller. For now, this is a\nDVD-only release. It features Kate Beckinsale, Scott Eastwood, Jordan\nDjuvigneau, Matt Craven and Arvin Kananian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BLASTS FROM THE PAST!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking for older films, there are a few options\navailable. MPI Media group is releasing the 10th anniversary Blu-ray of We\nAre Still Here<\/em> (2015). This is an effective little independent ghost story\nabout a couple who move into a rural home after the death of their son. The\nmother begins experiencing supernatural phenomena and claims their child is\ntrying to communicate with them from beyond the grave. But as they look into\nthe disturbing history of the home, they discover that the spirit may not be\nrelated to them. The original Blu-ray for the title contains a director and\nproducer commentary, as well as a behind-the-scenes featurette and a trailer.\nThose are included in this upgraded edition, along with a new director\ncommentary, a special on the lore of the film, and another new segment about\nthe haunted house\u2026 ten years later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If classic films are more to your liking, you can pick up a\nBlu-ray of Pointed Heels<\/em> (1929) from Reel Vault. Fay Wray plays a\nBroadway showgirl who falls for a Manhattan socialite. This is distressing to a\nproducer who is also in love with the performer and worries that her new beau\nis taking advantage of her. The lead was considered an inspiration for the\nanimated Betty Boop<\/em> cartoon character. Extras include a film historian\ncommentary, five rare 1970s colorized Betty Boop cartoons, and 44 classic\nblack-and-white animated Betty Boop<\/em> shorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shout Factory is pleased to present the science fiction epic\nCloud Atlas<\/em> (2012) in a \u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray\nset. This effort from the Wachowskis (The Matrix series) and Tom Tykwer (Run\nLola Run) is described as an \u201cepic story of humankind in which the actions of\nvarious characters impact others in the past and future. Truth be told, it\u2019s an\ninterconnected anthology of sorts, and like those kinds of the pictures, the\nsegments are hit and miss. The cast is incredible though, which includes Tom\nHanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben\nWhishaw, James D\u2019Arcy, Keith David, Susan Sarrandon and Hugh Grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll get an all-new 4K transfer of the film presented in\nDolby Vision and approved by writer\/directors Lana and Lilly Wachowski and\nwriter\/director\/composer Tom Tykwer. There is a feature-length look back at the\nfilm featuring new interviews with the crew and more, seven archival\nfeaturettes on the production and an extended look trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perfect Blue<\/em> (1997) is a Japanese animated\npsychological thriller that is also getting a \u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d 4K Ultra HD\nand Blu-ray combo release. The story involves a pop singer who gives up her\nperforming career to star in a TV series, only to have a breakdown that\nincludes visions of another version of herself who continued on as a musician.\nIn addition to the film being remastered and presented in the highest quality\nformat available, you\u2019ll get nearly two hours of lectures on the movie\u2019s\nimportance, footage from the English-language version recording session, cast\nand crew interviews, promo materials, as well as a 128-page booklet with\nwriting on the feature, 10 art cards and a poster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, the studio is putting out a 4K Ultra HD\n\u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d Steelbook of the horror anthology Tales from the\nDarkside: The Movie<\/em> (1990). This picture came out a little while back on 4K\nand Blu-ray, so the contents should be the same, only in new packaging. If you\nhaven\u2019t seen it, it\u2019s a passable effort with an excellent wraparound (featuring\nDebbie Harry) and one very strong segment about a mummy with Chirstian Slater,\nas well as a young Steve Buscemi and Julianne Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n YOU KNOW, FOR KIDS!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, it\u2019s a slow edition for kid\u2019s entertainment,\nbut things should perk up in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is a list of the week\u2019s TV-related titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hallmark Mystery 9-Movie Collection (containing four\n2.5″ x 3.5″ collectible trading cards) (Hallmark) DVD<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hallmark Royal 9-Movie Collection (containing four 2.5″\nx 3.5″ collectible trading cards (Hallmark) DVD<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DVD-Black-Phone-2-02-fixed.jpg\")
