Tuesday Round Up

Decisions, decisions. Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it? Star Trek or Star Wars? The Beatles or The Stones? Cake or Death? Best-selling author Nicholas Sparks has made a pretty lucrative career out of romantic push and pulls. Thanks to Lionsgate, the latest big-screen adaptation of Sparks’ work — The Choice — arrives this week. (I’ll be sure to have an extra hankie handy when I review it...just in case.) Liongate was also kind enough to Remember Christopher Plummer’s latest drama. Finally, the studio also scopes out Sniper: Special Ops.

Who’s the baddest pimp in town? (Other than yours truly, of course.) Well if you’re a fan of blaxploitation cinema, you probably know the answer to that question is Dolemite! The film makes its Blu-ray debut this week, so be sure to keep checking our site for the review. Meanwhile, Lionsgate retraces its steps with Backtrack, and Comedy Central bids a warm farewell to Hot in Cleveland: Season 6.

We've got a bear of a Round Up for you this week, my friends! Leonard DiCaprio tussled with a vicious grizzly and took home his first Oscar for The Revenant. And now, thanks to Fox, we'll bring you a Blu-ray review of the hit survival drama. Lionsgate also engages in some gross Misconduct, while Entertainment One seeks safe Haven: The Final Season. HBO plays second fiddle with Veep: Season 4 and innovates in Silicon Valley: Season 2. Comedy Central brings back Daniel Tosh: People Pleaser, while Magnolia Home Entertainment lampoons an iconic magazine/comedy brand with Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead. Finally, Warner Bros. schemes with Pretty Little Liars: Season 6.

It's a shorter Round Up than usual, pardners! But one release we're reviewing for you this week has one of the longer titles you're likely to find anywhere. Magnolia Home Entertainment revs up The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun, a French-Belgian thriller/mouthful. Meanwhile, Lionsgate laughs it up with Grace and Frankie: Season One. Finally, Shout! Factory spends some family time with Sisters: Season 4.

Not that long ago, in a theatre that was hopefully not too far, far away from your galaxy home…chances are you settled in to enjoy Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The movie went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time in the U.S., and this week you can bring the Force home. You can actually already check out our review of Disney’s Blu-ray release for Star Wars, along with our thoughts on Showtime’s House of Lies: Season 4.

Banshee: Season 3, from HBO, is a real scream. Meanwhile, RLJ Entertainment throws us a Curveball and was kind enough not to keep The Hoarder all to itself. Shout! Factory cops to NYPD Blue: Season 9. Finally, Lionsgate starts at the very beginning with The von Trapp Family: A Life of Music and has it made in the shade with Mojave.

There’s plenty of love hate to go around in this week’s Round Up. We’ll be covering the Blu-ray release of The Hateful Eight, Quentin Tarantino’s bloody, brutal Western/Agatha Christie-style thriller. In addition to reviewing the film itself, you can also check out Gino’s chat with delightful Hateful co-star Dana Gourrier. Elsewhere, IndiePix bundles up for The Winter, while Film Detective allows us inside The Red House. Momentum Pictures saddles up for father/son Western Forsaken, while Lionsgate leaves itself Exposed.

Turns out the odds were definitely in our favor. Thanks to Lionsgate, we’ll soon be posting our review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2, the final chapter in the wildly popular dystopian YA saga. The studio was also kind enough to crown us with The Royals: Season 2. Shout! Factory catches up with Maude: Season 4 and takes us to court with the Perry Mason Movie Collection: Volume 5. Meanwhile, All Hell Breaks Loose courtesy of Wild Eye Releasing. Finally, Anchor Bay starts a revolution with Turn — Washington’s Spies: Season 2.

Brace yourselves…winter is coming…and so is our review for Game of Thrones: The Complete Fifth Season. HBO’s blockbuster fantasy drama releases its latest jam-packed Blu-ray set this week, but that’s far from the only noteworthy title you can read about on our site. Magnolia Home Entertainment delves inside Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, while Lionsgate eggs on The Hatching. Shout! Factory takes care of The Nanny: The Final Season, and Universal keeps it in the family with Sisters. On top of that, you can already see whether we think you should invest in Paramount’s The Big Short.

It’s a whale of a week here aboard UpcomingDiscs headquarters! Luckily, Warner Bros. helped us reel in a big one with the 3D Blu-ray of In the Heart of the Sea. The high-stakes, high-sea adventure is just one of the titles we’ll be reviewing over the next week. Anchor Bay shares The Spoils of Babylon, while Hallmark answers When Calls the Heart: It Begins with Heart. Lionsgate goes nuclear with Manhattan: Season 2 and looks to escape Out of the Inferno. In the meantime, you can already check out our review of Paramount’s Hogan’s Heroes: The Complete Series.

…“And in the blue Blu corner...weighing in it about 5 ounces...hailing from Warner Bros...the surprise underdog sensation of 2015...Creed!” The boxing hit starring Michael B. Jordan and recent Oscar winner Sylvester Stallone highlights this week slate of Blu-ray and DVD releases. Cinedigm clocks in with The Midnight Man, joins God's Club, takes up arms with Weaponized, and follows James Dean through some of his Life. Cinemax retaliates with Strike Back: The Final Season. And it's either Kill or Be Killed, courtesy of RLJ Entertainment. (Be sure to keep an eye out for our interview with Kill or Be Killed filmmakers Justin Meeks and Duane Graves.)

Adonis Johnson and Rocky Balboa aren't the only contenders around these parts. Congratulations to Ronald Oliver, who wins a DVD copy of Misfire, courtesy of RLJ Entertainment in our February contest.
