(I&#8217;m curious how those two ever became friends.) All told, they spent nearly $200 million on the film, and yet for some reason still wound up with a mo-cap lead character with some of the most terrifying Uncanny Valley effect since <em>The Polar Express<\/em>. My first response to the trailer was, <em>&#8220;OH HELL NOOOOOOOOO!!&#8221;<\/em>, and that was not an uncommon reaction. The movie bombed in the United States. Although it did better overseas, at best it broke even. Nevertheless, word-of-mouth from those who saw it claimed that, if certainly not great, it&#8217;s not as terrible as the trailers looked. I guess that&#8217;s an endorsement? Hoping to recoup some investment, Fox offers up a plethora of disc options, including a ridiculously overpriced Collector&#8217;s Set. In a nice turn, all of the 4k Ultra HD editions also include 3D. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Hellboy<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Even with Guillermo del Toro directing twice, neither Sony nor Universal had great success with the <em>Hellboy<\/em> franchise. The rights then passed to Lionsgate, which decided to make a reboot so unimaginative that nobody could think of a better title than to just call it <em>Hellboy<\/em> again. Frequent <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> director Neil Marshal takes over with <em>Stranger Things<\/em> star David Harbour in the lead, but apparently the audience for a movie like this really would have preferred another entry from del Toro and Ron Perlman instead, and nobody else was interested. Buzz on the picture was terrible and it flopped. Potential buyers get lots of disc choices anyway, including two different SteelBooks (for Blu-ray and Ultra HD, respectively) from Target or Best Buy.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Missing Link<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Hugh Jackman voices an intrepid explorer searching for the elusive Sasquatch (Zach Galifianakis) in a new stop-motion comedy from Laika Animation. Although reviews were mostly positive, the weird-looking creature design was perhaps too off-putting for children, and the film&#8217;s marketing was practically nonexistent. It was a box office dud, but may eventually find an audience on streaming or syndication. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Critters Attack!<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 The horror comedy franchise about scuzzy little alien monsters gets a fifth installment produced by Syfy as a DTV feature. How this ties in (or whether it ties in at all) with the Shudder network&#8217;s <em>Critters: A New Binge<\/em> streaming series is unclear to me. <\/p>\n<h2>UHD<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the expected 4k editions of <em><strong>Alita: Battle Angel<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Hellboy<\/strong><\/em>, Lionsgate breaks on through to the other side and gives an Ultra HD upgrade to Oliver Stone&#8217;s bio-pic <em><strong>The Doors<\/strong><\/em>. The movie has suffered from poor video editions on every format up to now, but the new 4k restoration is said to be a big improvement. It also features a new Final Cut that&#8217;s actually three minutes shorter than the original version. <\/p>\n<h2>Catalog Titles<\/h2>\n<p>The Criterion Collection edition of Spike Lee&#8217;s masterpiece <em><strong>Do the Right Thing<\/strong><\/em> reportedly restores cinematographer Ernest Dickerson&#8217;s original stylized color timing, which was stripped out for the last Blu-ray release from Universal. That alone makes it an essential purchase in my opinion. <\/p>\n<p>Criterion&#8217;s other title this week is Michael Radford&#8217;s adaption of George Orwell&#8217;s <em><strong>Nineteen Eighty-Four<\/strong><\/em> (or <em>1984<\/em>, as the new packaging calls it). The disc claims a &#8220;New 4k digital restoration,&#8221; but the prior Blu-ray from Twilight Time already looked pretty excellent. The Criterion copy offers some new bonus features, but does not appear to have an isolated music track for the alternate Eurythmics score, which Twilight Time provided. <\/p>\n<p>Shout! Factory serves up the classic 1949 noir thriller <em><strong>Criss Cross<\/strong><\/em> starring Burt Lancaster. <\/p>\n<p>Warner raids its Archive for <em><strong>Merrill&#8217;s Marauders<\/strong><\/em>, the 1962 WWII adventure from director Samuel Fuller. <\/p>\n<p>Arrow blinds us with <em><strong>Weird Science<\/strong><\/em>. The goofy John Hughes comedy from 1985 is available in a new Special Edition or a SteelBook.<\/p>\n<p>Sony pays a visit to <em><strong>Pacific Heights<\/strong><\/em>, director John Schlesinger&#8217;s 1990 thriller starring Michael Keaton as the tenant from hell in a rental house owned by yuppies Matthew Modine and Melanie Griffith. <\/p>\n<p>Kino discovers that <em><strong>Death Takes a Holiday<\/strong><\/em> in the classic 1934 romantic fantasy starring Fredric March.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Kino gets a little surreal with Luis Bu\u00f1uel&#8217;s <em><strong>Death in the Garden<\/strong><\/em> (1956) and <em><strong>The Milky Way<\/strong><\/em> (1969).<\/p>\n<p>Scream Factory delivers a second volume of the <em><strong>Universal Horror Collection<\/strong><\/em> containing four mad scientist chillers from the 1940s.<\/p>\n<p>As for Universal itself, the studio has a reissue of the <em><strong>Straight Outta Compton<\/strong><\/em> SteelBook edition that was previously a Target exclusive back in 2016. <\/p>\n<h2>My $.02<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, <em>Do the Right Thing<\/em> is a must-buy for me, especially while the Barnes &#038; Noble Criterion sale is still active. I&#8217;m less certain that I need to double-dip on <em>Nineteen Eighty-Four<\/em> since I&#8217;m still pretty satisfied with the Twilight Time copy on my shelf. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always liked <em>The Doors<\/em>, but never quite enough to own a copy on home video. Will that change with the 4k edition? I haven&#8217;t decided yet. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;m curious enough to rent <em>Alita<\/em>, but it reminds me far too much of Spielberg&#8217;s <em>Ready Player One<\/em>, which I loathed and still regret wasting a free VUDU credit to stream.<\/p>\n<p>Will you buy anything for the hell of it this week?<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world continues to react in horror to that Cats trailer that dropped late last week, another Uncanny Valley abomination from earlier this year hits home video.
