When manned missions to
Mars finally take place, potential
crew members will likely watch Matt
Damon’s Martian as a dramatic and
entertaining reminder of what can go
wrong once you’ve landed on Mars.
There is another film that will
also be on the
viewing list as
a cautionary
reminder as to
why it will be

Professor Gerald Deemer (Leo
G. Carroll) labored away in his desert
laboratory, with all of the best intensions, to bio-engineer a superior food
supply. He got a giant tarantula for
his efforts.
Professor Peterson (Steven

Oct. 4, Icarus Films'
The Homestretch
Icarus Films will be teaming
with Bullfrog Films for the Oct. 4 DVD
debut of the documentary filmmaking
team of Anne De Mare and Kirsten
Kelly’s The Homestretch, a harrowing
look at Chicago teenagers in crisis.
If Chicago
were a country, it could be
chocked up as
a failed state.
T h e m u rd e r
rate is off the
charts, the state
of the city’s
economy looks
more and more
like Detroit every day and nothing
seems to work.
De Mare and Kelly focus on just
one element of this urban nightmare,
teenagers on the streets; homeless …
they estimate that over 2,000 are on the
streets on any given night. The city
school system reports at least 19,000
students are classified as homeless.
But through all of this doom and
gloom, there is hope.
The Homestretch follows three
of these homeless teens — Roque,
Anthony and Kacey — and gives us
glimpses into some of the issues that
put teens like them in perilous straits.

Warner's Conjuring 2 Gets Sept. 12 Date
Sure enough, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
“cleared the decks” last week with an Aug. 23 street
date for writer/director Shane Black’s The Nice Guys,
which will be followed on Aug. 30 by director Thea
Sharrock’s Me Before You.
Both had respectable theatrical runs, with The
Nice Guys pulling in $36.2 million in ticket sales and
Me Before You gathering up $55.7 million at local
multiplexes during its June/July theatrical run.
But Warner Bros. has three films in inventory (currently in theatrical
release in one form or another) that have exceeded $100 million at the box
office and with the focus now on the post-Labor Day to Christmas timeframe,
The Nice Guys and Me Before You needed to be “deckSee Warner Page 18
cleared” to make way for those larger theatrical hits.
Shami Media's Paula Peril Arrives Aug. 16
Shami Media Group, with domestic sales and
distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Aug. 16 for the DVD debut
of director Jason Winn’s The Adventures of Paula
Peril, the first feature-length entry into the Paula Peril
adventure series.
Ace reporter Paula “Peril” Perillo, played by Valerie Perez, has her origins in comic book adventures,
which were adapted for a series of shorts beginning
back in 2007 — Paula Peril: Trapped in the Flames,
Paula Peril: Midnight Is the Darkest Hour, Paula Peril: Mystery of the
Crystal Falcon, Paula Peril: The Invisible Evil and Paula Peril: Midnight
Whistle (also directed by Jason Winn).
Filmmaker Jason Winn (The Fat Boy Chronicles,

Spiral Bound, etc.) as mentioned, handled the directorial
HBO's Game Of Thrones Returns, Nov. 15
HBO Home Entertainment gave notice this past
week that both DVD and Blu-ray sets of Game of
Thrones: The Complete Sixth Season will be arriving
at retail on Nov. 15.
All ten episodes will be available in these fivedisc collections that come loaded with bonus features,
include commentary options for all episodes!
Other bonus goodies for fans of the series to savor
are deleted scenes and three production featurettes
— “The Battle of the Bastards,” “Recreating the Dothraki World“ and “18
Hours at the Paint Hall.” Exclusive to the Blu-ray SKU are an “In-Episode”
Guide and an 18-part examination of the mythology of See HBO Page 14
Westeros and Essos that is titled “Histories and Lore.”

Uni's Neighbors 2
& Warcraft In Sept.
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has added director Nicholas
Stoller’s Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
to its Sept. 20 release calendar. Both
DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
editions will be available.
The ARR
comes in at 123
days and ticket
sales for this
Seth Rogen and
Zac Efron comedy were a tasty
$55.3 million.
In an excellent show of
tradecraft, Universal announced the
Matthew McConaughey Civil War
drama, Free State of Jones, last week
and then waited until the following
week with the more successful theatrical release of Neighbors 2: Sorority
Rising. They didn’t “step” on the
lesser title by announcing both Sept.
20 releases at the same time. That
was smart.
As to bonus nuggets for Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising … there is a
commentary option teaming filmmaker Nicholas Stoller (Neighbors,
The Five-Year Engagement, Forgetting
Sarah Marshall, etc.) with producer
James Weaver, a gag reel, deleted
scenes and three featurettes — “Nu
Neighbors,” “The Prodigal Bros Return” and “Girls Rule.”
In other release news, Universal
has tagged Sept. 27 as the release date
for a four-SKU helping of director
Duncan Jones’ film adaptation of the
popular video games, books and other

MVD's Ladies Of The House, Dec. 13
MVD Entertainment Group will be guiding the
Stripped Movie, LLC production of director John
Stuart Wildman’s wickedly twisted horror tale, The
Ladies of the House, to the DVD arena on Dec. 13.
Serial killers, cannibals, pole dancers, a plot with
a very clever twist and one of the best set designs for
an indie film that’s been seen in quite some time, those
are just a few of the selling points for The Ladies of
the House.
First impressions can be deceiving and that is
certainly true here. We begin at a strip club, where Jacob (Gabriel Horn)
and his buddy Derek (Samrat Chakrabarti) have taken Jabob’s brother, Kai
(RJ Hanson), who is something of a gentle giant and just a tad on the slow
side, to celebrate his birthday.
After a few drinks, Derek, who
is more or less a bully, convinces the
dimwitted Kai that girls — in this
case, a pole dancer named Ginger
(Michelle Sinclair, aka: adult film
star Belladona) — who work at strip
clubs like to have their customers
follow them home so that they can have sex in private.
So what we’ve got going here is the makings of a stalker/rape movie
when Kai and his “escorts” do just that … and follow Ginger home. Kai
is a little overwhelmed by Ginger’s initial reaction to having him on her
doorstep, he panics … and then kills her. Her behavior becomes clear
after the fact.
It is at this point that everything you are expecting to happen goes right
out the window! You are thinking, they’ll dispose of the body, cover their
tracks and the rest of the movie will be a cat-and-mouse game of whether
their crime is uncovered, solved or revenged.
Before they can make their getaway, Ginger’s roommates arrive
home, Jacob and Derek find hiding
places and poor Kai is confronted
by Getty (Melodie Sisk), Lin (Farah
White) and “baby” Crystal (Brina
Palecia), who don’t seem all that
upset that poor Ginger is dead. Once he is lured back inside the payoff
begins!
Hauling his dead carcass off the street would be a lot of work — the
“ladies” see him as rump roast for a month — so they let him do the heavy
lifting by walking under his own power back to the kitchen, where he is
promptly dispatched with a butcher knife. He will end up as tasty morsels
in the freezer in no time.
You see, these “ladies” are cannibals and Ginger was just doing her job
of bringing dinner home. And although Jacob and Derek are trying their
best to hide, this will be to no avail, as these hungry felines will eventually
catch the “mice.” Derek gets a taste — perhaps a poor choice of words,
“taste,” in a cannibal movie — of his own medicine, while Crystal takes a
fetish liking to Jacob (children are often reminded not to play with their food).
All of this plays out in a house that is a “character” See Ladies Page 20
in its own right. Imagine something along the lines of

Eye Continued
poses to marry 3D printing technology with some sort of medical research (saved the world,
cure a disease, etc.). He has all the best of intentions.
To you see something of a plot parallel here?
Wild Eye Releasing announced this past week that British filmmaker
Steve Lawson’s tale of research gone awry, Killersaurus, will be making
its domestic DVD debut on Sept. 27.
In a well-constructed prologue, we get an introduction to the project,
lots of bells and whistles; flashing lights with computer screens ablaze
with code … secret stuff. And then something goes horribly wrong, as one would expect in a film with the title
Killersaurus, and then the credits roll.
We skip ahead a few months and the good professor is out of cash, but he’s learned from his mistakes,
and is close to a major breakthrough. Enter a suspicious looking chap by the name of Andrews (Julian Boote
— Jack the Giant Killer, Dead Room, Evil Souls, etc.), who is willing to fund the project, but has other plans
for the research.
3D printing technology married to the bio-engineering of the perfect killing machine, a T-Rex! Envision
an army of these gung-ho “soldiers” leading the way on the battlefield … that’s what Andrews has in mind!
Now imagine what could possibly go wrong with that plan! The answer is plenty, and that’s the fun of it.
Killersaurus is an effective mad scientist thriller that uses its indie/mirco-budget resources to good purpose
(think: Val Lewton and his ability to keep the “creature” in the shadows and unseen for as long as possible) and
is blessed by a solid performance from heroine Helen Crevel (Survival Instinct), Professor Peterson’s assistant,
in her film debut.
Bonus features include commentary from director Steve Lawson (Survival Instinct, Nocturnal Activity).
Courageous reporter Paula “Peril” Perillo follows a lead to an abandoned warehouse, where she is attacked by five brutal thugs working
for the corrupt mobster Vince Vincelli. After putting up a valiant fight, she is subdued, bound, and threatened by them for information.
Back at her newspaper office, the beautiful rival reporter Veronica Vilancourt plots to steal Paula’s headline. Her friend and partner,
Jimmy Smith, worries about Paula’s whereabouts, and discusses his concerns with the Editor of the paper, Slim Jackson. He has no
solution but to find Paula - and publish her story before the deadline that night.
Both of them review past adventures for clues to Paula’s whereabouts, including the theft of a mysterious artifact
in ‘Mystery of the Crystal Falcon’, and the supernatural power of ‘The Invisible Evil’, previous adventures
that Jimmy shared with Paula. As the night approaches, the thugs have had enough of the meddling reporter.
They bind and gag the helpless Paula, and set the building with explosives rigged to destroy the building and
the evidence of their crime. As the timer ticks down to zero, Paula is running out of options. Will she escape
in time to expose the Vincelli operation once and for all!

Unknown Continued
Page 18
one-way solo trip.
This film for the future astronauts to see is writer/director Mark Elijah Rosenberg’s
Approaching the Unknown, which will be making its DVD debut on Oct.
11 courtesy of Paramount Home Media.
The ARR for that October release date works out to 130 days — the
film had a very limited one-week, 11-screen theatrical break during the
first week of June (for critical awareness).
The reason why Approaching the Unknown will be on the viewing
list is to show crew members that going it solo is not a particularly good
idea. This we learn from Captain William Stanaforth (Mark Strong — Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Brothers
Grimsby, The Imitation Game, etc.), a solo astronaut who is on a one-way mission to Mars.
We learn, through a series of flashback sequences, that he has developed a machine that can process soil
(even in the desert) and extract both hydrogen and oxygen, which — as your basic understanding of chemistry
dictates — are the two key building blocks for water. Mars, water … mission is a go!
What can possibly go wrong with one astronaut, an experimental
life-sustaining machine and a one-way mission to Mars that takes 270 days
(nine months) to complete? Quick, grab a pencil and jot down a dozen
things off the top of your head … OK, that’s a lot work, how about six, or
even three. Pick a number.
Things do go wrong and the entire mission is very much in jeopardy.
Or, and this is just supposition, imagine that our astronaut is not
really on his way to Mars, but is dying of thirst in the desert. His experimental gizmo doesn’t work — and he has deliberately puts himself in the position that if his machine doesn’t
work he will die, alone, in the desert.
So it is entirely possible that Capt. Stanaforth is hallucinating and the solo mission to Mars is all in his
head — the problems he encounters are all related to his failures on Earth.
Rosenberg’s Approaching the Unknown can be viewed on several levels and that is what makes Stanaforth’s
descent into madness — alone, with critical things going south on him — all the more compelling. In any case,
going it solo to Mars, even with a cohort (played by Sanaa Lathan) some thirty days behind you on a duplicate
trajectory (carrying additional supplies), is not a particularly good idea.
Also added to Paramount’s very busy DVD & Blu-ray release schedule this week are
both DVD and Blu-ray editions of Penny Dreadful: The Final Season — both will be threedisc sets featuring all nine episodes from the third season that just wrapped on June 19th.
The street date selected by Paramount Home Media for this Showtime series is October 4.
On the complete series front, Paramount will be running promotions for Dexter: The
Complete Series (Blu-ray set on Oct. 4) and Perry Mason: The Complete Series (DVD on
Oct. 11).
And from Nickelodeon news comes this week that Oct. 11 will mark the DVD debut
of A Very Nick Jr. Christmas. Over two hours of fun featuring Christmas-themed adventures of Shimmer and
Shine, the Paw Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Trucks and more.
Warner Continued
The first of these is director James Wan’s haunted house thriller, The Conjuring 2,
which will be released on Sept. 13 as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings.
Domestic ticket sales currently total $101.8 million and the ARR for
this mid-September street date works out to 95 days.
Bonus features for both SKUs included deleted scenes and five
production featurettes — “The Enfield Poltergeist: Living The Horror,”
“The Conjuring 2: Hollywood’s Haunted Stage,” “Creating Crooked,”
“Crafting The Conjuring 2,” and “Sounds of Scary.”

neon goth meets ‘50s modern — set decoration was
handled by Winona Yu (she consulted on vintage
set decoration for the 11.22.63 mini-series, plus her work can be seen
in such films as Secrets of a Psychopath, Daylight’s End and Windsor)
and Adam Dietrich (a man with many talents, including acting and
producing) was in charge of production design.
Ladies Continued
Wildman’s The Ladies of the House is a real horror treat (can you
say “treat” when referring to a movie populated by lesbian cannibals?) that easily transcends your typical homage
to Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre — it colors (in a deep red) well outside the lines!
Peril Continued
chores for Paula Peril: Midnight Whistle, and based on the buzz from that short film and
the cult status of the others, was recruited to take his Paula Peril entry and combine it into
a coherent narrative with footage from Paula Peril: Mystery of the
Crystal Falcon and Paula Peril: The Invisible Evil.
An additional 30 minutes of new action and connecting sequences
were shot in and around Atlanta, Georgia by Winn and his crew to yield
this first full-length feature film showcasing the exploits of Paula Peril.
During the golden age of theatrical serials, it was a common
practice after the serial had complete its 12 to 15 week (chapters) run,
to edit the roughly four hours of action down into a 70 or 80 feature version. The same holds true here as this
modern day Brenda Starr goes where ever the story leads, no matter the danger — and she’s no wallflower, she
can more than handle her own in any situation.
Decked out in her signature red top and short black skirt,
Paula is hot on the trail of mobster Vince Vincelli (Sam Gentry),
but she’s attacked by a group of thugs, beaten into submission
and tied to a chair in a dingy warehouse ... things don’t look good
for poor Paula Peril! Vince wants to know what she’s got on him
and she’s not leaving that warehouse until she spills the beans.
Meanwhile, her crack assistant, Jimmy (Stephen Hanthorn)
tries his best to piece together the clues that might lead to Paula’s rescue. Her co-worker and bitter rival, Veronica Vilancourt (Marla Malcolm), offers to help, but has her own agenda. All of this takes place while the
newspaper’s editor, Slim Jackson (James Connor) is running up against a deadline … find Paula, save Paula
and get that story!!!
Universal Continued

It’s not always economics or the breakdown of families (yes, those are major factors — 23 percent of the
city’s population lives in poverty), but many of the teens simply “don’t
fit.” Cultural mores put gays and transgender kids on the street … they
are simply not welcome.
Icarus Continued
All three are trying to better themselves, Rogue has made it to his
senior year in high school and Kacey, a lesbian, has had the guidance and
care that she couldn’t find at home. Anthony, an example of kids having kids, not only has to overcome issues
in his life, but has to succeed in order to provide for his infant son who is currently in foster care … you get the
sense that he may develop the skills to do just that!
We also learn from The Homestretch that there are resources available, but they are
“stretched” precariously thin. TLP (Teen Living Programs) is cited as an example of what
works — 83 percent of the kids that find their way into the program attended or completed
school and three-quarters of them find jobs.
Also on added to the release calendar by Icarus Films this past week is Russian filmmaker Vitaly Manskiy’s extraordinary look at life in North Korea, Under the Sun. The
street date for the DVD debut will be Sept. 20.

* ARR averages measure the number of days between a film's theatrical launch and its subsequent arrival on DVD and Blu-ray. Only New
Theatrical films with a box office tally of $25 million or great are include in the ARR calculations. Seasonal films (Christmas-themed)
are excluded. .
Icarus Continued
pulled in $61,822 in its limited run and arrives with an ARR of 74 days. It is now Oscar-eligible in the documentary category.
Somehow the powers that be in Kim Jong Un’s despotic kingdom
thought it would be a good idea to produce a propaganda film showcasing the glorious life of an eight-year old girl and her family. Perhaps the
fact that Manskiy is Russian kept his minders from being suspicious that
he would just keep on filming after the staged scenes were completed.
The story centers around Zin-Mi, who is a new member of the
Children’s Union, having joined on the annual Kim Jong Il birthday celebration, which is called “The Day of the Shining Star.” We see her at school, we follow her home to her parent’s
apartment — her parents work at a very successful factory and, as a result, enjoy a lifestyle that certainly meets
or exceeds Western standards.
The problem with this idyllic picture of life in Pyongyang is that it is all a fraud, but the clever way that
Manskiy presents it is he shows the “staged” presentation and then after the obligatory “cut” the cameras continue to roll. It’s like a Hollywood production! Action! Cut! And then we see what goes on after the actors
and crew move on to the next scene … everything is staged; a fantasy.
This begs the question, no, wait, two questions. First, how did Vitaly Manskiy get all of the raw footage
out of the country? Second, do you suppose Manskiy is planning any return trips to this worker’s paradise?
Under the Sun is presented in Korean with English subtitles.
