AMC's The Killing to hit Blu-ray and DVD in March

Great news for fans of AMC's series The Killing, as it gets released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 13th from 20th Century Fox. The release includes an extended finale, which I will be intrigued to check out. Although I felt the series was slightly flawed it was definitely decent and warrants a second viewing. Full details of the release below.

Season 1 of AMC’s critically acclaimed new show “THE KILLING” comes to Blu-ray and DVD on March 13 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  With exclusive Blu-ray and DVD features, including an extended season finale, loyal fans and new viewers alike will dive deeper into the captivating mystery and complex characters that garnered the freshman series six Primetime Emmy® nominations and one Golden Globe® nomination.  Catch up on the show that everyone will be talking about when “The Killing” returns to AMC for season two this Spring.

 From writer, executive producer and series showrunner Veena Sud (“Cold Case”) “The Killing” ties together three distinct stories around a single murder including the detectives assigned to the case, the victim's grieving family, and the suspects. Set in Seattle, the story also explores local politics as it follows politicians connected to the case. As the series unfolds, it becomes clear that there are no accidents; everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they've moved on, their past isn't done with them.

 “The Killing” stars Emmy® and Golden Globe® nominated Mireille Enos (“Big Love)” as Sarah Linden, the lead homicide detective that investigates the death of Rosie Larsen; Billy Campbell (“Once and Again”) as Darren Richmond, Seattle's City Council President and now running for Mayor; Joel Kinnaman (“Snabba Cash”) as Stephen Holder, an ex-narc cop who joins the homicide division in the investigation to find Rosie's killer; Emmy® nominated Michelle Forbes (“True Blood”) as Rosie's mother, Mitch Larsen; and Brent Sexton (“W.”, “In the Valley of Elah”) as Rosie's father, Stan Larsen. The pilot was directed by Patty Jenkins (“Monster”).

 “The Killing” Season 1 Blu-ray and DVD features all 13 episodes and is loaded with exclusive special features including extended season 1 finale, unaired deleted and extended scenes, gag reel, featurettes, director and cast commentaries.

SPECIAL FEATURES (Blu-ray and DVD)

Battle Royale - Complete Collection Ready To Slay The U.S.

One of my favorite movies, Battle Royale, is all set for a nice new shiny release over here in the States. March 20th will see these controversial movies hit Blu-ray and DVD through Anchor Bay Entertainment. Full details on the release are below.

The second movie, Battle Royale: Requiem, whilst entertaining in parts doesn't live up to its predecessor, but it still makes interesting viewing. So, pairing it up with the original on this collection is a good move if you ask me. You get the classic, which bares up to multiple viewings, and then if you want to slip in the sequel you can. I have both movies on import, but definitely plan on picking up the Blu of this!

Ralph Bakshi's Wizards to hit Limited Edition Blu-ray

Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, which was 20th Century Fox's first animated movie is all set for a sexy looking Blu-ray release on March 13th. It's been years since I have seen this 1977 movie, so I am looking forward to checking it out again.

Twentieth Century Fox’s first-ever animated film, created by renowned director Ralph Bakshi, WIZARDS appears in a 35th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray + Book release on March 13 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the “epic fantasy of peace and magic” stars the voice talent of Mark Hamill (Star Wars Saga).

Avatar's evil brother, Blackwolf, dominates Scortch, a bleak land of goblins and wraiths. When the power-hungry Blackwolf attacks Montagar, Avatar, accompanied only by a spirited young woman and a courageous elf, must enter the darkness of Scortch to save his world.

Filthy Review - Snowtown

Snowtown (2011)

Review by Jude Felton

Over the years many of my favorite films have been Australian. The Skinhead drama Romper Stomper from 1992, 1988’s brutal prison flick Ghosts of the Civil Dead, the stunning Western, The Proposition and most recently 2008’s The Horseman are all films that have taken a familiar genre, whether it be a revenge flick or Western and put their own distinctive spin on it. All of them though share one common binding factor, they are harsh, brutal and uncompromising movies that show events in an unflinching honesty.

Now the serial killer genre has been given its own devastating twist in director Justin Kurzel’s thoroughly bleak Snowtown. Released in its homeland in 2011 Snowtown will see a U.S. release in February of 2012 and it is a film that demands your attention. Based on the infamous exploits of Australia’s most notorious serial killer, John Bunting, and the “Bodies in Barrells” case of the 1990’s, it takes a unique look at these crimes and is not your typical serial killer movie, far from in fact. If you think Shane Meadow’s This is England crossed with Penelope Spheeris’ Surburbia with added murder you might get a feel for how this movie is, as it is as much a drama about peer pressure, disenchanted youth and life at the bottom rung of society.

The story follows Jamie (Lucas Pittaway) and his family, which consists of his mother and two brothers. After kicking to the curb her latest boyfriend, Jamie’s mother takes up with the incredibly charismatic John. He’s the sort of guy that puts family first and is a take-no-shit kind of man. John thinks the world of the children and his influence on the kids, especially Jamie, soon shines through. He is, however, an incredibly opinionated man, and during local neighborhood watch meetings thinks nothing on sharing his violent opinions on the sex offenders that live in their poor Northern Adelaide suburbs.

Talk soon becomes actual violence and it isn’t too long before Jamie not only discovers what is happening, but becomes embroiled in a series of violent crimes.

To say that you watch Snowtown would be to do the film a serious injustice. Instead you endure the bleak story unfold. The word that came to mind whilst watching, or enduring it, was unpleasant. There are scenes that are truly difficult to watch, not because they are especially graphic, although there are one or two particularly nasty moments, but because they portray the full emotion of the moment on the screen. John is a truly nasty piece of work, yet he is also the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. Daniel Henshall puts in an absolutely wonderful performance as John, the charisma, the fear he elicits, everything is just spot on. This plays in complete contrast to Pittaway’s shy and frightened performance as Jamie and the balance is terrific between the two.

Aside from murder many other themes are explored here, from bullying to peer pressure to sexual assault, and all will leave you drained as the film draws to a close. The ending, without giving anything at all away, is one of the most chilling I have seen. Snowtown is a true horror film hidden behind the mask of a family drama. Talk is often made of what is the most controversial or graphic film people have ever seen. Well, Snowtown is one of the most powerful without resorting to cheap tactics, overt gore or sensationalism. Yes it is based on a true story, but the lengths the filmmakers went to make the film, which involved consulting the affected communities, assure that there is no glamorization of murder. This is a cold, bleak and depressing film that won’t appeal to everyone but is quite exceptional to these eyes.

Well written, superb direction and a great score, all combined with top notch performances, ensure that this excellent film is one that won’t soon be forgotten. Welcome to Snowtown, enjoy your stay.

Snowtown is released by IFC Midnight on February 29th

On The Ice - New Trailer, Poster and Stills

Filthy Review - Gutterballs Pin-etration Edition

Gutterballs Pin-etration Edition (2008)

Review by Jude Felton

When it comes to the horror community there is one word that could be used to describe it, and that is passionate. Whether it be a passionate love, or a passionate hatred, there is no escaping it. The fans, filmmakers, novelists, artists and critics (and anyone I left out) all have that all embracing love for the genre. Over the many years I myself have been a fan I have rarely come across anyone as passionate as Canadian filmmaker Ryan Nicholson. He loves what he does and it shows in his work. Not only that but it shows in his treatment of his movies. Having first given us the Charbroiled Edition of his 2004 short Torched, he now has, finally, unleashed the Pin-etration Edition of arguably his best movie, Gutterballs.

Initially released in 2008, Gutterballs was, and still is, a loving homage to the slasher flicks of the 80s’. The story is classic slasher faire; stick a group of kids in a random location, this time a bowling alley, with no means of escape and then unleash a killer on their obnoxious asses.

The kids this time are split into two groups. On one hand you have the group of cool cat misfits who just want to bowl and have fun, and on the other hand you get the exceptional obnoxious group of jocks who want nothing more than to be abusive. The two groups come to blows one night whilst bowling, after which they are quickly sent on their way by the bowling alley janitor (played superbly by Dan Ellis). He lets them know that they can come back the following night to finish their match after hours. Why after hours? Who knows? This is a slasher flick after all.

Before the following night can arrive though one of the kids is subjected to an horrific assault, and I don’t use the word horrific lightly, which really sets the tone for the onslaught that is to follow.

Gutterballs is a vicious and nasty movie, full of foul language, copious amounts of violence and bloodshed and probably one of the most disturbing rape scenes I have witnessed on film. Well, if you saw the original release of this film and were shocked then you are going to have a heart attack if you ever see this version (there were only 69 copies of this edition released). Nicholson really goes to town on this version and delivers a movie that is on par with Thriller: A Cruel Picture in terms of what you get to see. Whether you want to see it or not is another matter, but it isn’t like Nicholson hid this fact from the world. He promised a XXX “roughie” and that is what he delivered.

Despite being an all around nasty piece of work Gutterballs is also a damned good slasher/exploitation homage. Sure, the acting is a little wobbly in places but is that what you are looking for in a flick like this? I’m sure as shit not. Graphic and inventive kills aplenty, kids you are just screaming out to get butchered and an iconic killer to boot. What’s not to love?

The sleaze and blood drip off the screen as the movie assaults you. Gutterballs isn’t a movie for the casual fan that has been fed a diet of remakes and piss poor studio flicks. The Pin-etration Edition further distances itself from any hope of a mainstream crowd ever digging it. This is a dirty flick made for the fans by a fan, and more power to Nicholson for it.

Now, I could be mistaken as it has been a couple of years since I saw the TLA release of Gutterballs, but I believe that the soundtrack is slightly different on this release as well. Included in this release is also the Balls-Out Bootleg Edition of the movie, some groovy artwork and the rather surprising inclusion of a Crotch Swatch and Rectal Swab. I am not kidding.

Whether or not you get a chance to see this version of the film is hard to say, but I do recommend checking out any version of Gutterballs that you can get your hands on, especially if you are a fan of gory and offensive slasher flicks. If you are a fan of Nicholson’s movies I do know that he has plans for special edition releases of his 2009 flick Hanger. When that will happen I do not know as he has about 30 movies on the go right now. I jest, but he does have a few in the works, including Gutterballs 2.
