Home Screening Room - It's Baacck, Sorry for being away

It's been away for a couple weeks -- but after some time away, I've got the column back up and running. So here is this week's new releases to DVD / Blu-ray. 

Big Releases from Theaters

Amour – Rated PG-13 (Emmanuelle Riva)

Epic  – Rated PG (Josh Hutcherson, Amanda Seyfried)

Scary Movie 5 – Rated PG-13 (Ashley Tisdale, Simon Rex)

Three titles this week releasing that come from varied theatrical runs with three different target audiences. Foreign film Amour garnered Emmanuelle Riva some Academy Award love this year - perfect for an older more seasoned viewer. Epic is for the kids and had an over $100 million theatrical run in theaters this spring. Scary Movie 5, well it's the 5th Scary Movie...need I say more. Teens and young adults are the target for this horror/comedy.

Also New This Week

Boardwalk Empire: Thc Complete Third Season

The Good Wife: The Fourth Season

Mike and Molly: The Complete Third Season
NCIS: Los Angeles - The Fourth Season
NCIS: The Tenth Season

No One Lives - Rated R (Luke Evans)

 

Rapture-Palooza - Rated R (Anna Kendrick, Craig Robinson)



Revenge: The Complete Second Season

A very interesting series of releases that will bring everyone up to speed on some of their favorite TV Series'. For those of you who don't have HBO - Boardwalk Empire is the award winning series that comes with Steve Buscemi and from some of the best in the business.

And Finally

Killing Season - Rated R (Robert DeNiro, John Travolta)

This is one that comes straight to video, and that can scare you when it has these two talented individuals in the leads. I did get a chance to see and advanced copy of the DVD and it's strictly the movie with an extra commentary track for extras. The movie, literally features about a dozen actors and focuses on a cat and mouse hunt as John Travolta's character comes hunting for DeNiro years after an intense moment of war. Didn't much care for Travolta's over the top accent, but it is worth a peek for those of you looking for something that missed theaters.

Final Score

Nothing really huge to go pick up this week -- mainly niche releases that I can see those who are fans taking home, but the rest of you will more than likely simply rent the titles that interest you.
