DVD Dump New Releases: September 1st, 2009
Summer is over! However, just because you’ll be freezing your butt off this fall does not mean you can’t find a good movie to snuggle in with. And if new Hollywood blockbusters aren’t your thing, here is more of the latest direct-to-video shlock ready to make a quick buck off the easily impressionable.
Bring It On: Fight to the Finish
I guess based on the setup you could call these sports movies, but I still won’t.
Drifter: Henry Lee Lucas
No trailer for this one, but just listen to how fascinated Antonio Sabato Jr sounds to be playing serial killer Henry Lee Lucas.
Good Dick
A lonely video store clerk meets a lonely movie-watching girl. The dude loves her, but the chick hates him despite his large penis. Why am I writing this?
DVD Dump Pick of the Week
Humanity’s End
GIANT BIG-ASS SHIPS WAGE GIANT BIG-ASS BATTLES IN A GIANT BIG-ASS SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE….that only cost $140,000?
Impact
A meteor shower turns the moon into our enemy! And the plots of Armageddon and Deep Impact merge into a standard sci-fi plot. Wait, did the announcer just say ‘get ready to experience the dark side of the moon’? Ugh.
Meteor
Dammit, I already mentioned Deep Impact with the last movie. Well, here is another rip-off.
Randy & The Mob
There was a script leftover for Ernest & The Mob, but since John Vernon is dead, they had to recast and retitle it.
ALSO THIS WEEK…
-Blaxploitation Bonanza: Lots of double-disc sets for blaxploitation favorites including Truck Turner, Blackula, Coffy, etc.
