This week’s biggest release by far is Wreck-It-Ralph, Disney’s CG animated offering chockablock with retro gaming references. (Wreck-It-Ralph was also the title of my unproduced sequel to King Ralph.) Also new and notable this week are the acclaimed Eric Toledano film The Intouchables, the underwhelming remake of Red Dawn (de-Chinese’d for your protection), Barry Levinson’s undercooked found-footage horror film The Bay, and a few sexy how-to videos for couples or lonely individuals. These sexy how-to’s include Kamasutra action and erotic massage… in 3D!
On the re-release front, the most notable discs are Blu-ray re-issues of the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series, Buster Keaton’s College, the totally fun cyborg amusement park run amok movie Westworld. One of these days I’ll do a back-to-back double feature of Westworld and its sequel Futureworld, and then try to write a sequel to it that ties in my other unproduced King Ralph sequel — King Ralph 3D: Ralphworld.
After the cut, this week’s releases on DVD and Blu-ray, as well as different kinds of wreckage.
