Funko have announced that they will release POP! vinyl action figures of characters from the classic animated Disney movies The Jungle Book (which is currently available as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack) and Robin Hood (available on Blu-ray and DVD) later this month.
Funko have announced that they will release the first series of Pulp Fiction ReAction toys later this month.
In honor of the 35th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s classic 1979 sci-fi horror film, Funko have announced that the second series of their ReAction Alien figures will be released this November.
Seth MacFarlane’s day job usually keep him behind the camera, be it as the co-writer, producer, and voice actor on Family Guy and American Dad; the co-writer, director, and voice actor on Ted; or the producer of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. But in the live-action Western comedy A Million Ways To Die In The West — which Universal Home Video have issued on Blu-ray and DVD — he’s not only behind it as the film’s co-writer and director, but he’s in front as well, taking center stage as our hero.
By taking a slightly different approach to the story of Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s 2004 novel All You Need Is Kill, and pairing it with the gritty tenets of such World War II movies as Saving Private Ryan and some dark comedy, the sci-fi action flick Edge Of Tomorrow became one of this past summer’s better movies. But while it didn’t ignite the box office the way it lit up the imaginations of people who saw it, Warner Bros. Home Video have still done a good job presenting this engaging movie as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, a 3D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, and on DVD.
In 1999, the co-writer of Alien, the late Dan O’Bannon, told me that once you’ve seen the movie, you should never watch it again. “It simply cannot be as effective,” he said. “We are afraid of the unknown. When it is known, it’s not as scary.”
But O’Bannon might’ve changed his mind if he’d gotten to play Alien Isolation, a very scary first-person stealth action survival horror from Creative Assembly that Sega are bringing to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
As a fan of both nine inch nails and experimental instrumental music, I’ve never listened to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo or The Social Network albums by n.i.n. mastermind Trent Reznor and his composing partner Atticus Ross as if they were soundtrack CDs. Instead, to me, they’re sonic soundscapes, instrumental collections just like nine inch nails’ 2008’s ghosts i-iv. And so it is as well with Gone Girl, their third instrumental collaboration (CD, vinyl, iTunes, digital).
Funko have announced that they’ll release new POP! action figures and mystery minis of characters from the movie Despicable Me this October and November, respectfully.
