DVD/Blu-Ray Releases: April 17th, 2012
This week we get stuck in a basement with crazy Michael Biehn, Roger Corman introduces us to his nurses, and strange things are afoot aboard a 747..

Synopsis: As nuclear warheads rain down on Manhattan, nine strangers – including Lauren German (HOSTEL: PART II), Milo Ventimiglia (“Heroes”), Courtney B. Vance (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent”), Ashton Holmes (“Revenge”) and Rosanna Arquette (PULP FICTION) – barricade themselves in their apartment building’s bunker-like basement controlled by the unhinged superintendent (a stunning performance by Michael Biehn of ALIENS and TOMBSTONE). But within days, supplies dwindle, tempers flare and the trapped survivors will be overcome by treachery, madness, sexual torment and savage violence. What follows is intense. It is raw. And it is all brutally, horrifyingly real. This is THE DIVIDE.
.
Bottom Line: I heard good things about this one but unfortunately it was in and out of the theaters so fast I never got a chance to see it. But considering I’m a total sucker for anything post-apocalyptic, I’ll definitely be giving this one the benefit of a rental — RENT IT!

Synopsis: Private Duty Nurses: A trio of beautiful private-duty nurses that practice more than the medical arts must confront underground drug traffickers, racism and murder in their local hospital. Night Call Nurses: Three nurses who work in the psych ward really have their hands full dealing with nutty patients, creepy stalkers, and black revolutionaries Young Nurses: More young nurses apply special therapy in their daily rounds, as they work against a drug ring operating out of the hospital. Candy Stripe Nurses: Sexy comedy follows the exploits of three volunteer nurses.
.
Bottom Line: We have a long standing rule here at BMN that all fans must own everything from Roger Corman — OWN IT!

Synopsis: A 747 jetliner, piloted by Captain Keller (Robert Powell, Jesus Of Nazareth), suffers an explosion just after take-off and 300 passengers are incinerated. Keller is found wandering from the wreckage unharmed and unable to understand how he has survived. As Captain Keller embarks on his fateful odyssey, he is joined by a psychic (Jenny Agutter, Logan’s Run, An American Werewolf In London) to solve what really happened to his plane!
.
Bottom Line: This is one of those movies I always hear about but have never gotten around to seeing. Until now that it’s being released on DVD through the “Katarina’s Nightmare Theater” branch of Scorpion Releasing. Looking forward to checking it out — RENT IT!

I think there’s more of a feedback loop in viisons of the future than you suggest people make grimdark future movies because that’s what audiences pay for, because they are already in a mood to appreciate that sort of thing.The banality of evil is an unexpectedly realistic touch in a film of this sort real-world police states don’t need anyone saying burn all the kittens in order to be evil to whoever’s not at the top of the heap. But it still doesn’t make for good drama.
