The Brain From Planet Arous To Be Remastered And Rereleased June 21

Peter Paltridge Blu-Ray, Cinedigm, the brain from planet arous 1

Put on your atomic space helmets and warm up your vacuum-tube powered Communist Deflectors: a lost piece of fifties sci-fi cheese is about to be rereleased on Blu-Ray. The Brain From Planet Arous has been given the 4K treatment and a list of new special features, thanks to Cinedigm. When you think of a typical 1950s B-movie, this kind of film is the first to come to mind. In fact, it sounds a lot like what Hogarth was watching near the beginning of The Iron Giant, but that was probably not SPECIFICALLY meant to be this (for one thing, that movie was set in 1957, the year Brain From Planet Arous came out, so it’d have to have a VERY quick dump from theaters to TV).

Peter Paltridge Cinedigm, DVD, painkiller, vod 0

For those who prefer topicality in their action thrillers, distributor Cinedigm presents Painkiller, a cautionary fable about opioid abuse and the consequences thereof. Bill Johnson is dealing with the loss of his daughter, who overdosed on pain meds she was prescribed. He points the finger of blame squarely at Dr. Alan Rhodes, the rich prescription kingpin who sold her the drugs in the first place. And since this is a revenge movie, this means Rhodes will eventually be staring down the barrel of a high-powered weapon operated by Johnson. But it’s not just him Bill’s after…his ultimate mission is to dismantle the entire corrupt pharmaceutical system, with the help of a rogue cop. Painkiller stars Michael Paré (Eddie & the Cruisers, Gangster Land), Bill Oberst Jr. (‘Scream Queens’ ‘Criminal Minds’), Pacey Liz Walker (The Rosa Parks Story) & Alexander Pennecke (‘Blacklist’). It was written by Mike Savage and Tom Parnell, and directed by Savage as well. Look for it starting today on digital platforms and DVD. In PAINKILLER, Bill Johnson

For a show that has seen a lot of changes and ownership in the past decade, Yu-Gi-Oh! has a lot of legs. Being a part of The CW’s Vortexx block and the Nicktoons lineup, the series is finally returning to the home entertainment market this September. Cinedigm and 4K Media Inc. (the Konami-owned manager of the franchise) have partnered to bring the worldwide franchise Yu-Gi-Oh! into the home entertainment marketplace for the first time in five years. Plans include a strategic rollout of all 600+ episodes of the popular series onto DVD and BluRay in the US and Canada, followed by distribution on digital and VOD platforms. This marks an ongoing resurgence of the brand in the past year including expanded TV distribution and a renewed licensing program. Cinedigm and 4K Media officially launched the home entertainment program for Yu-Gi-Oh! during Comic-Con International: San Diego. The first DVD release, Yu-Gi-Oh! Classic Season 1 Boxset, will be available September 10, 2013. The Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series originated from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga series created by Kazuki Takahashi.
