Welcome back! Well, to some of you, anyway. To the rest of you, glad you decided to stop by and I hope that this humble column helps you navigate the stacks of new releases each week. My goal is to point you toward titles of interest and warn you away from those films that seek to do nothing but leech away your time and give you nothing in return.
Full disclosure: I have not seen many of these titles and what follows are not necessarily reviews. It is my opinion based upon what I know of the titles I pluck from the new release lists that I peruse. The opinions I give based on the new releases are my own, and my recommendations upon them are based on my personal interest. In any case, I hope you enjoy and perhaps find something you like or a title to point me towards.
Dead in 3 Days. I have not seen this movie, but it does look like fun. It is a slasher film from Austria that centers on a group of teens who get cell phone messages telling them they will die in three days. On the third day, that person does indeed die. A girl among their group finds a clue to who the killer is, but no one believes her. The trailer reveals it to be a gritty looking little film with its fair share of blood. The movie is being released as a part of Dimension's Dimension Extreme line. Hopefully it will live up to that tag.
Australia (also Blu-ray). Not great, not awful, Australia is a middling film that looks great on the big screen but left me tired after its long running time and disinterested in a story that lacks much of the needed heart. It is worth it for Brandon Walters and the cinematography — just do not become too invested in the story. This could be a worthy rental.

I'd skip most of these but Ashes of Time Redux looks interesting, thanks for mentioning it.
