The infamous back country feud that became an American legend begins with Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy, close friends and comrades until near the end of the Civil War, when they return to their neighboring homes – Hatfield in West Virginia, McCoy just across the Tug River border in Kentucky – to increasing tensions, misunderstandings and resentments that soon explode into all-out warfare between the families.

Bad Ass Arrives on Blu-ray and DVD June 5

Posted on by under Coming to Blu-Ray

First we saw what he could do with a Machete, I look forward to see what he will do with a Bat!!

  

DANNY TREJO IS MEAN, ANGRY AND …

BAD ASS

Explosive, Action-Packed Film Inspired By Epic Beard Man Viral Video
Lands On Blu-ray and DVD June 5

Los Angeles, CA (May 1, 2012) – Kicking criminal butts and taking the law into his own hands, Danny Trejo (Machete, “Sons of Anarchy”) ignites the screen in the gritty, violent and enthralling film Bad Ass, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD June 5 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Inspired by the viral video of a vigilante citizen taking action into his own hands, Bad Ass also stars Ron Perlman (“Sons of Anarchy,” Hellboy) and Charles S. Dutton (Alien 3).

Decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart. It’s not until 40 years later when an incident on a commuter bus, where he protects an elderly black man from a pair of skin heads, makes him a local hero and he’s suddenly celebrated once again. But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren’t doing anything about it.

Directed by Craig Moss (The 41 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall And Felt Superbad About It), Bad Ass is inspired by the Epic Beard Man video that captured two men’s highly charged verbal and brutal physical altercation on a public bus in Oakland, California. Posted to YouTube, the video spread like wildfire and the heroic elder bearded man was anointed Epic Beard Man. The video has garnered more than five million views.

The Bad Ass Blu-ray and DVD has a featurette and audio commentary. Both the Blu-ray and DVD are now available for pre-order. Prebook is May 9.

Bad Ass Blu-ray and DVD Special Features
● Audio Commentary 
● “Birth of Bad Ass” featurette

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Hoosiers June 5 on Blu-ray

Posted on by under Coming to Blu-Ray

When I was in High School a long, long time ago in a Galaxy far away.  The Football team made it to the Semi-finals.  The coach at the time thought,  instead of practacing on the eve of the big game as not to wear out the players, decided to screen “Hoosiers”.  The coach had the instict that “Hoosiers” would play a great role in motivating the players.  Well it did and our team won the game taking them to the finals.  Although our team did not win the State Championship the film still played a huge role and then some.  If this film does not motivate you, I dont know what will?

CELEBRATE THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ONE OF THE MOST
BELOVED STORIES OF INSPIRATION AND REDEMPTION

 

 

 

An All New Blu-ray Perfectly Timed For Father’s Day Coming On June 5, 2012

 

Los Angeles, CA (March 13, 2012) – From director David Anspaugh, one of the most legendary sports movies of all time is being released in an all new Blu-ray from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Based on the true story of the Milan High School basketball team, HOOSIERS boasts an all-star cast that includes the likes of Gene Hackman, Barbara Hershey, and Academy Award® nominee Dennis Hopper. The film was recently hailed as the #1 sports movie of all time by The Los Angeles Times, as determined by nearly 1,400 of its readers who participated a user poll.

 

Norman Dale (Gene Hackman) is a volatile basketball coach with a dark past who arrives in a small, rural Indiana town to attempt to lead the high school team to victory. This group of underdogs needs all the help they can get, and no one would have ever suspected that it would come from the unlikely duo of Dale and his newly hired assistant coach, the town’s recovering alcoholic, Shooter (Dennis Hopper). Under Dale and Shooter’s guidance, the Hickory team surprises their town – and themselves – by not only becoming an unstoppable team during the basketball season, but also taking home the 1952 State Championship.

 

Hoosiers has received abundant accolades, and can be found on the top film lists of over 100 movie critics. It has been highly ranked on movie lists created by AFI, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated, and was also chosen by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the United States National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant”.

 

HOOSIERS Blu-ray Features:
● Hoosier History: The Truth Behind the Legend  
● Deleted Scenes  
● Original 1954 Indiana High School Championship Game  
● Commentary by Director David Anspaugh
