This week's DVD/Blu-ray releases - 1/4

[Rev. Powell]

Thought I'd just copy down the names of some of the new-release titles that might be of interest to members here.  I may do this from week to week while I compile the Friday listings for my own site.

The week's big release is MACHETE.

In conjunction with MACHETE they're re-releasing some older Robert Rodriguez titles: a double disc of EL MARIACHI and DESPERADO and a single disc of ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO.

Horror: THE LAST EXORCISM, BITTER FEAST (this may be more of a black comedy, probably more of a "good" movie), and something called WOLVESBAYNE.

Shaw Brothers: THE SUPREME SWORDSMAN and THE SWORD OF SWORDS.

Also notable: CORALINE on Blu-ray (in 3D).

I didn't get the chance to see Machete in theaters, would you say it's worth spending $15 on?

I don't know your tastes well enough to say.  It's bloody, outrageous, slick, tongue-in-cheek exploitation, so if that appeals to you, then yes.  It's definitely worth a rental for anyone who frequents this board, though.

I like every one of those except for Once Upon a Time In Mexico. Just didn't get into that one. It seemed to lack purpose, like he made it just to make a sequel to Desperado.
