Bluray Tuesday: Featuring Boo 2, Gothic & Class of 1999


January 30th 2018


The last Bluray Tuesday of the month is here. I feel like January flew by! This week is a bit lighter in releases than previous weeks but it has a few standouts. First up is The Madea sequel Boo! 2 A Madea Halloween. With the success of the original, Lionsgate green-lit a sequel. I've enjoyed a few Madea films but the first Boo! wasn't what I expected. Next up this week is numbers 13 & 14 in the Vestron Video collector's series, Gothic and Class of 1999. Both are released for the first time on Bluray. I will definitely be adding these to my collection. Vestron has been releasing some cool editions to their line and the slipcovers look great together as a set. Vinegar Syndrome releases Lucifer's Women for the first time on Bluray this week. This one I've never heard of, so if anyone has seen this let me know how it is. And finally, Shout Factory releases a dark action superhero film Rendel: Dark Vengeance, which is another film I haven't heard of but may check out in the near future. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!

Frantic and worried, Madea, Aunt Bam and Hattie hop in the car to save her from the same terrible fate that befell a group of teens there years earlier. Chaos soon strikes when the would-be heroes find themselves fighting for their lives against an array of spooky monsters, goblins and boogeymen.

The time is the future and youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become "free fire zones," into which not even the police will venture. When Miles Langford, the principal of Kennedy High School, decides to take his school back from the gangs, robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest provides "tactical education units." These human-like androids have been programmed to teach and are supplied with weapons to discipline problems. These kids will get a lesson... in staying alive!
