Beyond the Hills<\/a><\/em> are already part of the Collection. <\/p>\nYou may have to buy them separately on UHD, but the reissues of How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2<\/strong><\/em> get bundled up into a double-feature set on regular Blu-ray. After that, Universal stays on an animation kick with Aardman Animations’ hilarious 2000 stop-motion comedy Chicken Run<\/strong><\/em> and DreamWorks’ much less successful The Road to El Dorado<\/strong><\/em> from the same year.<\/p>\nThe Warner Archive unearths The Giant Behemoth<\/strong><\/em>, a 1959 creature feature with stop-motion effects by the legendary Willis O’Brien. <\/p>\nContrary to popular belief, Kevin Costner’s post-apocalyptic Mad Max<\/em> knockoff Waterworld<\/strong><\/em> was not a box office bomb. It actually turned a profit by the end of its run. That said, it still may be one of the worst movies of the 1990s. Arrow Video hopes that it has enough fans to justify a newly remastered Limited Edition with multiple cuts of the film, a new documentary, postcards, a poster, and a book. Expect a less expensive Special Edition to follow later. <\/p>\nA genuine flop was the 1994 Macaulay Culkin comedy Getting Even with Dad<\/strong><\/em>, which marked a real low point in Ted Danson’s career. In the unlikely event that anyone has fond memories of renting it on VHS, MVD adds the movie to its Rewind Collection.<\/p>\nTelevision<\/h2>\n
Aside from some anime that I must plead ignorance of, the only notable TV box set this week is the fourth season of Syfy’s Killjoys<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\nMy $.02<\/h2>\n
First Man<\/em> is rental material for me, while Mikey and Nicky<\/em>, Chicken Run<\/em>, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels<\/em> will go on my wish list for later. <\/p>\nWill any titles get you to spend some money this week? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
