We are hugely excited about what exciting films will be released to DVD and Blu-ray in 2017, so let’s get right into it by checking out the first batch of new DVDs and Blu-rays that are now available!
This direct sequel to the 1999 horror hit that popularized the “found-footage” genre follows James Donahue (James Allen McCune), younger brother of the original film’s heroine, as he becomes determined to find his long-missing sister. Outfitted with high-tech camera and sound equipment that provide a chilling first-person perspective, James and his group brave Maryland’s Black Hills Forest and soon find themselves becoming another frightening chapter in the terrifying tale of the Blair Witch. Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott co-star.
Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life
For adolescent Rafe Katchadorian (Griffin Gluck), his cartooning skills were his best means of coping with life at home, and, especially, at school. However, when his tightly-wound principal (Andy Daly) makes him the prime target for an overall crackdown on individual creativity and expression, Rafe goes on a commando campaign to break each and every rule in the handbook! Funny spin on the first entry of the James Patterson/Christopher Tebbets kidlit series also stars Lauren Graham, Adam Pally, Retta, Rob Riggle.
In 1996, Jewish-American historian Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) was named to a libel suit in British court by English author/Holocaust denier David Irving (Timothy Spall) for having denigrated his theories in print. Saddled with the burden of proof to establish the veracity of the Third Reich’s atrocities, she–along with solicitor Anthony Julius (Andrew Scott) and barrister Richard Rampton (Tom Wilkinson)–had a delicate but hard-fought battle to deny legal legitimacy to Irving’s contentions. Absorbing true-life courtroom drama co-stars Alex Jennings, Mark Gatiss.
