Will other creatures soon follow? The famed final words of this film are both warning and answer: Keep watching the skies! A snappy ensemble. An eerie theremin- infused Dimitri Tiomkin score. Rising suspense. Crisp Christian Nyby direction. All merge in an edgy classic produced by Howard Hawks (Bringing Up Baby, Rio Bravo) and filled with Hawksian trademarks of rapid-fire dialogue and of people united by do-or-die stress. Keep watching the skies and the screen. Dont miss a moment of one of the best sci-fi thrillers of the 50s (John Stanley, Creature Features). And also from Warner- these super hits! 3/26/2019 888574771607 Aquaman (3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital Combo Pack) 2018 An action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, Aquaman reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be a king. 3/11/2019 888574771614 Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (3D Blu-ray + Blu- ray + Digital Combo Pack) 2018 From the imagination of Wizarding World creator J.K. Rowling comes the Fantastic Beasts film series, magical adventures set before the time of Harry Potter. At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non- magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwalds plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world. 2/26/2019 888574712624 Wild Rovers [Blu-ray] 1971 Lifelong ranch hand Ross Bodine decides cowpunching is no kind of life. So he and a raw cowboy half his age rob a bank to get the cash each needs to improve his lot. An indignant posse is soon in pursuit. Filmmaker Blake Edwards made his name with The Pink Panther and other comedies, but he also showed great skill in other genres with the thriller Experiment in Terror, the drama Days of Wine and Roses and this nuanced paean to the West. In performances perfectly matching Edwards balance of rowdy comedy and hardscrabble period realism, William Holden and Ryan ONeal play the fugitive saddlebums, with Holden drawing special praise. As he grows older, he grows better like a great old wine. All the reverberations from the previous roles are beginning to sound (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun- Times). 2/26/2019 883929675258 Lady in the Lake 1946 Robert Montgomery stars in and directs this snappy adaptation of Raymond Chandlers hard-boiled detective mystery. Montgomery portrays Marlowe, private eye. As director, hes also the films private eyes, using a subjective camera presenting the action from Marlowes point of view. What Marlowe sees, we see. When he gets slugged, we slip into blackness. The case begins when Marlowe sets out to find the missing wife of a publishing magnate. Several smack- arounds, one dead gigolo, a few angry cops, a booze-soaked frame-up and one dame in the lake later, Marlowe finds the killer and finds hes looking at the business end of a gun. 2/26/2019 883929675302 Chamber of Horrors/The Brides of Fu Manchu A Chamber of Horrors! Special in-film devices called The Fear Flasher and The Horror Horn cue viewers to the terror in this frightfest. A condemned man (Patrick ONeal) chops off his manacled hand (Fear Flasher! Horror Horn!) to escape, outfits his stump with tools designed to chop, rip, and skewer, and goes on a death spree. Brace yourself for a great neglected shocker (Michael Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film). A harem of horrors! Its a devils bargain in The Brides of Fu Manchu when Fu Manchu kidnaps the daughters of the worlds leading scientists and issues his demand: build him a death-ray weapon or watch their sweet lovelies die. Hammer Films horror icon Christopher Lee portrays the depraved mastermind of terror. 2/26/2019 883929670697 What I Like About You: The Complete Fourth Season The fourth season of this upbeat comedy opens with Holly (Amanda Bynes) in Florida, stranded after her cramped back-seat car ride.
