New Movies on Blu-ray/DVD

Battle of the Sexes (exclusive clip)
Emma Stone and Steve Carell recreate the iconic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” tennis tournament between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in this acclaimed biopic. Check out ComingSoon.net’s exclusive clip from the release below, in which the cast (Emma Stone, Sarah Silverman, Bill Pullman) and crew (screenwriter Simon Beaufoy) discuss the struggle for gender equality within tennis led by Billie Jean King and Gladys Heldman.

American Made
Tom Cruise plays real-life pilot Barry Seal, who in the 1980s ran drugs for the Medellín Cartel all while moonlighting for the CIA. Cruise has never been better, and Doug Liman’s film moves like a torpedo from one insane event to another. Check out our previous video interview with Tom Cruise, Doug Liman and the American Made cast!

Shock Wave (exclusive clip)
Action great Andy Lau stars in (and sings the theme song for!) this high-stakes thriller about an explosives expert who is targeted for revenge after he puts away a mob boss’s brother. ComingSoon.net has an intense exclusive sequence involving bomb disposal that you can check out below!

The Adventurers
If that’s not enough Andy Lau for ya, the Hong Kong superstar also co-stars opposite French icon Jean Reno (The Professional) in this action adventure about top thieves who team up to pull off the heist of a lifetime. The Blu-ray includes a making of featurette.

Lucky
The late, legendary character actor Harry Dean Stanton created a memorable swan song with his final performance in this fascinating character study about a fiercely independent old timer who tries to find enlightenment in his ’90s. The DVD release includes a few words with Harry Dean, as well as a feature on his final film take ever.

No Solicitors
Eric Roberts leads this horror thriller as a brain surgeon whose family business is actually a front for black market organ farming.

Criterion Corner


The Breakfast Club
While Sixteen Candles may have been John Hughes’ debut as a director, it was his 1984 follow-up that cemented not only the Hughes style but cut the template for nearly every teen movie that followed. Now The Criterion Collection is ensuring that this milestone in adolescent representation gets its due with a deluxe Blu-ray stocked with extra features including a 4K digital restoration, new interviews with Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy, and a video essay featuring Hughes’ production notes. There’s also a terrific essay booklet by David Camp that draws parallels between The Breakfast Club and later work like Boyz N the Hood, Freaks & Geeks and Broad City. Bring home The Brain, The Athlete, The Basketcase, The Princess and The Criminal today.

Reissues

Cadillac Man
One of Robin Williams most underrated comedies of the ’90s comes to Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber, with the late comedian playing an amorous car salesman whose relationships with multiple women come to a head when the husband of one of his coworkers (Tim Robbins) rides his motorcycle into the showroom and holds the place hostage with a machine gun and explosives.

Hell Night
The cult classic 1981 slasher comes to Blu-ray with a new 4K archival transfer from Scream Factory. It stars The Exorcist‘s Linda Blair as one of four college pledges forced to spend a night in a mansion where they are chased down by a psycho.
