| Criterion unleashes ‘Lady Snowblood’ on Blu-ray and DVD! Posted: 16 Oct 2015 04:35 AM PDT  "The Complete Lady Snowblood" Blu-ray Cover Get ready to start 2016 with a bloody vengeance! On January 5, 2016, the prestigious distribution company, Criterion Collection, will be releasing both Lady Snowblood (1973) and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance (1974) as a box set on Blu-ray and DVD. Read on for the details. A young woman (Meiko Kaji), trained from childhood as an assassin and hell-bent on revenge for her father's murder and her mother's rape, hacks and slashes her way to gory satisfaction. Rampant with inventive violence and spectacularly choreographed swordplay, Toshiya Fujita's pair of influential cult classics Lady Snowblood and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance, set in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Japan, respectively, are bloody, beautiful extravaganzas composed of one elegant widescreen composition after another. The first Lady Snowblood was a major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill saga, and both of Fujita's films remain cornerstones of Asian action cinema. Features include: New 2K digital restorations of both films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks on the Blu-rays; New interviews with Kazuo Koike, the writer of the manga on which the films are based, and screenwriter Norio Osada; Trailers; New English subtitle translations; plus, an essay by critic Howard Hampton. Pre-order The Complete Lady Snowblood on Amazon.com today! |

| Neill Blomkamp reveals a weapon for his ‘Aliens’ sequel! Posted: 16 Oct 2015 12:00 AM PDT  "Alien" Japanese Theatrical Poster Back in March, writer-director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium, Chappie) confirmed that his next movie will be an Alien (aka Alien 5) film. This exciting news came weeks after Blomkamp shared some “personal” concept art for an Alien movie that had been running around his mind. The artwork – featuring the return of both Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and Corporal Dwayne Hicks (Michael Biehn) – was a warm welcome to fans of the franchise, especially given the acclaim Blomkamp has received for his influential work. Updates: According to sources, Blomkamp’s Alien sequel will basically ignore Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection: "I want this film to feel like it is literally the genetic sibling of Aliens, so it's Alien, Aliens and then this film,” said the director. | Michael Biehn has confirmed that he's set to reprise the role of Corporal Duane Hicks from 1986's Aliens in Blomkamp's as-yet-untitled Alien sequel. Check out Blomkamp’s latest piece of concept art. According to the director, the Aliens sequel is “Going very well. Love this project.” | And don’t forget, Ridley Scott (Alien), is currently working on his “own” Prometheus/Alien continuation, Alien: Paradise Lost. BREAKING NEWS: Just recently, Blomkamp took to instagram to post a photo of the new pulse rifle that will be featured in his Aliens sequel. |
