BONUS FEATURES EXCLUSIVE TO BLU-RAY^TM, DVD & DIGITAL:

• The Johnny English Legacy - What has changed in the series this time around... for Johnny... and for the world? In this piece, we learn from the cast and film-makers how the character has evolved and what’s changed without changing the core of the incompetent agent we have come to know and love.
• Virtual Reality Johnny English Style - Virtual reality might be everywhere, but no one does it quite like our intrepid agent English.
• The Gadgets - Rowan leads us through his notable collection of gadgets as the team provides insights into their creation.

• Locations and Design - The movie may be all about the laughs, but the set designs and the locations are the real deal. From Johnny’s bedroom, to the MI7 and Prime Minister Offices, and Volta’s suite in the castle, every detail is carefully crafted.  And nothing beats shooting on location – from the south of France to the streets of London, Agent English is well-traveled.
• A Cast Of Characters - With a lead like Rowan Atkinson, the supporting cast has to be just a strong. We shine the spotlight on this veritable cast of characters:
  • Ben Miller as Bough
  • Olga Kurylenko as Ophelia

  • Michael Gambon as Agent 5
  • Charles Dance as Agent 7
  • Edward Fox as Agent 9

New Wave: Dare To Be Different DVD Review

Growing up in the 1980s, WLIR was like. Mecca in a sea of top 40 radio stations because I was and have been and always will be a fan of New Wave, College Music, Alternative as well as the roots that lead to it and some of the music that followed. In late 1987 WLIR lost it's broadcast license and a legendary musical trendsetter that broke bands during the second British Invasion, was an influence on other radio stations on the west coast as well as MTV, disappeared. Well sort of. The documentary focuses on the origins and development of WLIR, a small midrange broadcaster located on Long Island that rose from relative obscurity to being cancelled essentially as it was reaching new heights that put it in direct contention with the radio establishment and despite their vaster resources, could not compete with LIR and so the documentary implies that they collaborated with the FCC to get LIR off the air.

After LIR ceased broadcasting, a station called WDRE continued where LIR left off with many of the DJs moving there as well as certain contests and catch phrases being slightly altered so that they would not infringe upon the intellectual property that the people who got the LIR license owned as a result. Again, the documentary does not cover this part, but you can read about it on Wikipedia. WLIR is now back complete with an app to stream live broadcasts online available on iOS and Android. In addition, any fan of LIR should visit their website, which is: 

http://wlir.fm/

The documentary is a must see for anyone nostalgic for LIR and the music they broke over the airwaves in the 1980s and super fans will also want to add the DVD to their collections.

Featuring interview clips with Curt Smith of Tears For Fears, Lol Tolhurst of The Cure, Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, and Billy Idol among many other music personalities of the 1980s, the documentary also gives a voice to the people behind the scenes like Progrqm Director Denis McNamara, and Staff members that include Daphne Blue, Ben Manilla, Jeff "Beck" Carlson, Donna Donna, Malibu Sue McCann, Larry "The Duck" Dunn as well as McNamera's children, Dan McNamera and Cassie Reilly.

The DVD for New Wave: Dare To Be Different presents the documentary in a 16 by 9 enhanced (1.78:1) aspect ratio. With a choice of either an aggressive English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Soundtrack and a full sounding English Stereo Soundtrack as well as English Closed Captions for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired encoded as options.

Bonus clips featuring Denis McNamera (1:35), Documentary Director Ellen Goldfarb (1:01), stories by the musical artists about WLIR (6:08) and DJ stories (7:58) wrap up the bonus content on this DVD.

New Wave: Dare To Be Different will debut on DVD-Video on December 7, 2018 at retailers on and offline courtesy of MVD Visual.

Acclaimed Grim Fairy Tale SNOWFLAKE Falls on Blu-ray and VOD December 4th

Hunting down the murderer of their families in an anarchic near-future Berlin, two outlaws find themselves trapped in the wicked fairy tale of a mysterious screenplay that entangles them in a vicious circle of revenge - apparently all written by a clueless dentist.  In their quest for vengeance, they must contend with a myriad of wicked fairy tale assassins, madmen, a blood-covered angel, and an electric-powered superhero.

Philadelphia, PA - Following an acclaimed run on the international film festival circuit, Artsploitation has announced the U.S. release of Adolfo Kolmerer's Snowflake.  Snowflake world premiered at the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival, where Kolmerer took home the Méliès d'Argent Award for Best Film.  The film continued to screen around the globe, picking up Best Director and Best Film awards at Negative Fest and Horrible Imaginings, as well as Best Achievement in Directing and an Audience Award at Cinepocalypse.  Cryptic Rock hailed Kolmerer's debut feature as "an extraordinary genre mix", comparing the surreal crime action film to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. The Blu-ray (SRP $19.99) and DVD (SRP $14.99) releases of Snowflakewill exclusively include an hour-long making of featurette.

Overlord Theatrical Release Film Review

I think it was originally going to be the fourth Cloverfield anthology movie, but after the straight to Netflix film was released, they removed any references to Cloverfield, which is a good thing because this movie did not need it.

Basically it is sort of like From Dusk Till Dawn in that the first half is a crime thriller and the second half was a vampire schlock flick. Only here Overlord never goes over the top and plays it straight throughout.

The effects are top of the line as the first half is a WW2 D-Day invasion film in that paratroopers land in France with a mission to take out a German radio tower in a church so the allies can land on the beach.

After about 45 minutes to an hour it turns into a horror film where the Nazis had found a mysterious substance deep beneath the church and have been using it to create super soldiers that don't die easily and can reanimate. The film has a definitive ending that explains why this story is not in the history books and that is that. Solid flick worth seeing.
