New Release Tuesday (10-27)

Welcome to Killer Film’s New Release Tuesday for October 27^th! Now, before you all celebrate Halloween, you can order some last minute DVDs and Blu-rays on Amazon, by clicking on the cover art!

The Orphan

This came by surprise; an original Dark Castle horror film that was pretty good. While it didn’t reinvent the “bad seed” genre, it had its fun moments, with a neat twist. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD) Jon says: Buy Donny says:

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

With this film this series has slipped into a generic, by-the-book, franchise offering. There’s nothing new or decent about this film, and even that squirrel doesn’t save the film. I wouldn’t doubt it if the next film has the gang in space. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD) Jon says: Avoid Donny says: Rent

Whatever Works

The new Woody Allen film isn’t as good as other films of his, but I had a ball with how bitter Larry David is in this. A real fun pleasure. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD) Jon says: Buy Donny says: Rent

Medicine for Melancholy

If you haven’t checked out this amazing little film at your local art house earlier this year, do so today. A smart, funny, look at two African-Americans and their lives in San Fran. (Formats: DVD only) Jon says: Buy    Donny says: Buy

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure

The next CG animated Tinker Bell film is here, and it’s surprising that this is turning out to be a series. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I would’ve preferred a traditional animated Tinker Bell film. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD) Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent

Night of the Creeps

The long awaited cult film is here on a nice special edition with a slew of extras. Awesome! (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD) Jon says: Buy Donny says: Buy

Virtual JFK

Is there any conspiracy more involved than the JFK theories? At least we got a documentary that explores something else instead of his assassination, with this, as it explores how he would have handled Vietnam if he had lived. Docurama Films is also releasing some political docs today with Lioness, Election Day, and Soldiers of Conscience. (Formats: DVD only) Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent
