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.
Friday the 13th: Uncut. This is what fans have been screaming for, finally the uncut version is coming out as a Region 1 DVD. I believe prior to this it has only been available in Japan. Now we have to wonder how long it will take to get the uncut versions of the rest of the series. I must admit to having a soft spot for this series and I am really looking forward to the remake, which looks pretty darn good. In addition to being uncut, this release will also have a selection of new features, hopefully they will help make up for what was on the box set released some years ago.
Friday the 13th, Part 2. No, not uncut, but hopefully improved video over the box set release. This release will also feature a selection of new featurettes. I want to check out the new additions, but I am not sure I want to rebuy the film.
Friday the 13th, Part 3: 3D. See the above, but this has the advantage of being released in 3D. All I know is that I do not want to watch this in those red/blue glasses (it comes with two pairs).
