John Wayne: The Epic Collection Debuts May 20
DVD Collection of 40 Warner and Paramount Films is the
Largest John Wayne Box Set Ever and Includes
Hours of Special Features and Remarkable Memorabilia
 
Fourth Annual John Wayne Film Festival Set for April 24-27 in Dallas
 
Burbank, Calif., February 24, 2014 -- To commemorate one of America’s most iconic film heroes, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will introduce a comprehensive new DVD set -- John Wayne: The Epic Collection -- on May 20. The spring release, just in time for Father’s Day gift-giving ($149.98 SRP), will contain 38 discs with 40 Wayne films (full list below), including The Searchers, once called one of the most influential movies in American history[1] and the film for which Wayne won his Best Actor Academy Award®, True Grit (1969). The collection comes packaged in a handsome book with unique collectibles and hours of special features.
 
The coffee table book includes a chronological presentation of Wayne films, enhanced with wonderful photographs; the hours of special features include commentaries, documentaries, featurettes, vintage shorts and classic cartoons; and the special John Wayne collectibles include personal correspondence, script pages/covers, pages with Wayne’s notations and behind-the-scenes artifacts.
 
Wayne’s legacy will also be celebrated at the 4thannual John Wayne Film Festival in Dallas from April 24th through the 27th. The four-day festival will feature screenings of some of Wayne’s classic feature films, Q + A sessions with Wayne family members and co-stars, and parties celebrating the John Wayne heritage and legacy. All the proceeds from the festival will benefit the John Wayne Cancer Foundation.
 
In making the announcement of the new collection, Jeff Baker, WHV’s Executive VP and General Manager, Theatrical Catalog said, “Thanks to our recent strategic alliance with Paramount and their catalog titles, we’re delighted to be able to offer this number of titles representing such a broad range of Wayne’s work. Wayne was one of the most popular film stars ever. For more than a quarter century he was one of the tops at the worldwide box-office. This collection will certainly be a ‘must have’ for loyal John Wayne fans and, hopefully, will have an equal appeal to younger folks who want to learn more about him.”
 
Born Marion Robert Morrison in Winterset, Iowa, John Wayne first worked in the film business as a laborer on the Fox lot during summer vacations from U.S.C., which he attended on a football scholarship. He met and was befriended by John Ford, a young director who was beginning to make a name for himself in action films, comedies and dramas. It was Ford who recommended Wayne for his first leading role. 
 
For the next nine years, Wayne worked in a multitude of B-Westerns and serials in between bit parts in larger features. Wayne’s big break came in 1939, when Ford cast him as the Ringo Kid in the adventure Stagecoach. Wayne nearly stole the picture from his more seasoned co-stars, and his career as a box-office superstar began. During his 50 year film career, Wayne played the lead in more than 140 movies[2], an as yet unsurpassed record, and was nominated for three Academy Awards®[3], winning the Best Actor award for his performance in True Grit (1969).

Gravity (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray + DVD + UltraViolet Combo Pack) Review

You can own this blu-ray combo set today

Synopsis: GRAVITY, directed by Oscar nominee Alfonso Cuaron, stars Oscar winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney). But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone.

Review: Gravity is the kind of movie that people rave about for years.  Its one of those 'oh my god, have you experienced this?' types of films.  The hopelessness bred within the drama that you get from a show like the Walking Dead, but in a more absolute fashion..the dead of space.  One of the huge wins with Gravity, other than the astounding visual effects, is the lead actress choice.  Sandra Bullock carries the emotion of this film on her shoulders and she does an amazing job.  The film is amazing, but to see it on your 3D television is an entirely new experience all together.  The 3D is groundbreaking and a fantastic showcase for the technology.   There is no reason not to buy this film.  Its a sure thing at the Oscars and that is an honor thats well deserved!

Rocky: Heavyweight Collection Blu-Ray Review

You can own this blu-ray today

Synopsis: Go the distance with this Rocky Heavyweight collection, featuring all six knockout Rocky films including the first film with a stunning new master. Sylvester Stallone stars in the greatest boxing saga of all time and triumphs as one of the most inspirational characters in cinematic history. Witness every epic, action-packed fight and unforgettable moment as Rocky strives for greatness through sheer determination against impossible odds. This collection contains over three hours of bonus features including a new featurette “8mm Home Movies of Rocky” narrated by Director John Avildsen.

Review: There are few franchises with the reach and lasting quality of the Rocky series.  It made Stallone a household name and took him from a wild action star to a dramatic actor.  I'm not going to give you a review of the actual Rocky films, as you've likely seen them for yourself by now and if you haven't, you need to.  This great set features the blu-ray releases of every film.  The transfers into high-definition look amazing.   The oversized blu-ray case holds all six films with some great special features that have been much anticipated.   This one is a must have, especially for the price.

Disc 1: Rocky Blu-ray Remastered Special Features:

• 8mm Home Movies of Rocky (1975) — Narrated by Director John G. Avildsen and Production Manager Lloyd Kaufman
• In the Ring: Three-Part Making-of Documentary
• Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes: Makeup, Music, Directing and Camera Work
• Boxing Featurettes: Three Rounds with Legendary Trainer Lou Duva, The Opponents and The Ring of Truth
• Tributes: Burgess Meredith, James Crabe

• Video Commentary with Sylvester Stallone
• Sylvester Stallone on Dinah! (1976)
• Theatrical Trailers, TV Spots and More!

Scarecrow DVD Review

You can own this DVD today

Synopsis: For years the urban legend of the deadly scarecrow has haunted children, and in one small town, the evil comes to life.  During the annual Scarecrow Festival, a group of teens are tasked with working on a local farm. Inspired by the surrounding cornfield, they recount a well-known creepy tale of a terrifying, murderous scarecrow. They soon find that there’s some truth to the story. As darkness falls over the cornfields, a monster is out for blood and the teens must run for their lives.

Scarecrowmade its broadcast debut on Syfy October 5.

Review: We see a lot of horror movies here at the Legion, so I've learned to sum them up with the necessary facts.  This movie, which was originally seen on the SyFy network is Killer Scarecrows and hot chicks.  The CGI on the scarecrows is actually really well done and the suspense is good on this film.  It was a really fun watch and a great addition to any horror collection.

Disney's Frozen: a Sister More Like Me Book Review

About the Book: Explore a wintery world of magic in Walt Disney Animation Studio's latest film, "Frozen." This jacketed picture book features an original story about Anna and Elsa, the film's two sisters, as well as illustrations by one of the artists who worked on the film.

Our Take: There are few Disney movies that become cult favorites right away, it usually takes some time to settle in.  Frozen is not one of those films.  Frozen has achieved a huge cult following almost immediately upon its release!  This cool hardcover book features quirkly artwork from Disney Animation artist Brittney Lee, which is both stunning and playful.  The dust jacket on this one has some great glittery flocked ice/snow design on the back and beautiful artwork on the front.  The story inside delves into the Frozen storyline and pulls out the relationship between the two sisters.  Rather than being a retelling of the film, this book highlights whether the sisters being different is a strength or weakness and has a strong focus on their loving bond.  This is a fantastic book and is without a doubt a must have!

The fate of the Beware the Batman cartoon may be in question, but the first DVD release is without a question due out on Tuesday, February 18th.  However, I noticed that a local Wal-Mart already has it on the shelves!  I don't know if this is an official early release or if my location just put it out too early.  Their website doesn't list the product at all, so check your local stores.  Also, if you go on WBShop.com they are offering the season one, part one release on blu-ray!
