DVD Pick of the Week: Appaloosa - Page 3

Part of: DVD Pick of the Week

Tokyo Gore Police. How can you not like a title like that? Seriously though, this sounds way too bizarre to pass up. It is set in the future where police have been privatized and self-mutilation is common. Our central cop character is on a mission to avenge the death of her father. I understand it lives up to the gore of the title, and I am looking forward to checking this out.

WWE: Starrcade Essential Collection. I am sorry, but it looks very strange, weird, and wrong to see the letters WWE in front of Starrcade, which was the Wrestlemania equivalent of WCW. Still, this set should contain some old school classics.

Humboldt County. This film was barely in theaters long enough to have a cup of coffee before disappearing. It concerns a disillusioned med student who goes on a trip with an odd friend and ends up with counter cultural pot farmers. Needless to say, it has an effect on his outlook. It does not look like a great film, but definitely one that could be worth checking out.

Supercop. Along with Rumble in the Bronx, First Strike, and Operation Condor, Supercop was in that wave of Chan films that helped him truly break out in America. Yes, there were other, earlier films, but these got the ball rolling in a big way. Dragon Dynasty is delivering a new Ultimate Edition of this entertaining, if imperfect, Chan vehicle. He co-stars with Michelle Yeoh in a film that is well worth checking out, if you haven't already. I know I am looking forward to it.

Breakfast at Tiffany's: Centennial Collection. One of Audrey Hepburn's most beloved films is back in a new release that appears to be little more than a repackage of the last one. Still, there is no denying the infectious quality of the film.
