Glad to have Kong 76 on blu finally. I know it gets trashed a lot, but I've always had a soft spot for it. Can't go wrong with Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges either.

I hope Explorers includes an interview with River Phoenix's corpse.

I hope Explorers includes an interview with River Phoenix's corpse. The film takes some time to start due to the huge list of production companies involved in the production, which, at first, left me with lowered expectation. After all if they had to shop the world to get it made, how good could it be? More on that later. I was very wrong and very happily surprised. This film was excellent! The story was captivating the acting was award worthy and the filmography and effects were amazing. Although the dialogue was a bit corny at times, it was delivered expertly by everyone. In all it was a must see movie. And it wasn't long before I discovered why it took so many companies to make this film: It was NOT a typical Hollywood movie. In fact Hollywood would not have made this film. Why? Because it did not play into the politically correct, anti-religious, ultra-liberal agenda that has become required today to make a film there. In fact, this film was pure entertainment, no brainwashing, no political message, no forced scenes that have nothing to do with the story but are necessary to get past studio PR department. Nope, this film was from the old school, a story with drama, a touch of comedy, tragedy and amazing action. And it was and absolute JOY to watch a film without feeling that you were being manipulated with some underlying message that supports the message of the loud and vocal without having anything to add to the story. This was a REAL movie, with REAL actors, with a REAL story that kept you on the edge of your seat until the very last scene. If you, like me, are tired of the propaganda inspired crap that has been coming out of Hollywood for the last decade then you have got to see this movie. Thanks to everyone involved in this move. It is nice to see that not everyone in the entertainment business has sold out. Hopefully your bravery will inspire others to start making MOVIES again.

I'm definitely getting Explorers. Haven't decided about Kong yet. I've never seen the entire movie. What I'm most excited about though of Shout's May announcements is He Knows You're Alone is coming to Blu too !  Even though I have it on the DVR, been hoping for a release for a long time.

King Kong - 76' is a fun watch, but cheesy. Not to excited about that one.
Explorers - 85' would be nice to have. Nice visual effects and plenty of charm. I feel it is one of Dante's better films that he did without Spielberg's banner over his own namesake.

I'm very liberal, and even I couldn't stand the preachiness of Kong 76. When the hero says that natives will miss some creature that takes sacrifices, that's stupid. When he cheers for Kong killing human beings, that's something only a homicidal maniac could agree with. Jessica Lange is the plainest Jane to ever be a Kong girl, which was actually the most interesting thing about the movie. Making a heroine out of an every day average looking pair like Bridges and Lange.
The "homey" atmosphere saved it, and thus I give it 6/10, which I think is generous. Still better than the Fay Wray version, but not as good as the Jack Black

Lest we forget that He Knows You’re Alone is also being released by the same company. I’m very excited...
Explorers will be a good release. I can finally replace my old DVd.
