Welcome back movie lovers! I’m back again for another look at the home video releases for the week for all you faithful FTS readers. This week we have a couple exciting releases to talk about so lets just get started.

Hot Pursuit

Rotten Tomatoes: 8% | IMDB: 4.9

Who’s in it?
Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara
What’s it about?
“In Hot Pursuit, an uptight and by-the-book cop (Reese Witherspoon) tries to protect the sexy and outgoing widow (Sofia Vergara) of a drug boss as they race through Texas, pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen.” – New Line

Nate’s Two Cents?
I only watched this so that I’d have more than one film to say something about this week. That being said, I thought the film was absolutely abysmal. It wasn’t funny in the slightest and I really just can’t stand Sofia Vergara. If you insist on seeing this thing just go to Redbox, but honestly I wouldn’t even waste the $1.25 for the rental.

Unfriended

Rotten Tomatoes: 60% | IMDB: 5.9

Who’s in it?
Heather Sossaman, Matthew Bohrer, Courtney Halverson, Shelley Hennig, Moses Storm, Will Peltz, Renee Olstead, Jacob Wysocki

What’s it about?
“Unfriended unfolds over a teenager’s computer screen as she and her friends are stalked by an unseen figure who seeks vengeance for a shaming video that led a vicious bully to kill herself a year earlier.” – Universal Pictures

Nate’s Two Cents?
I saw this one in theaters earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised. I went in with low expectations, but the movie ended up being a fun time. The movie got me a few times with it’s jump scares and it’s various death scenes, some more violent and disturbing than others. Overall I’m gonna say this is worth watching and makes for a fun night in.

I Am Chris Farley

Rotten Tomatoes: 68% | IMDB: 8.0

Who’s in it?
Adam Sandler, Christina Applegate, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Molly Shannon, Dan Aykroyd, David Spade, Bob Odenkirk, Bob Saget, Kevin Farley, Jon Lovitz, Jay Mohr, Will Sasso, John Farley, Lorne Michaels, Pat Finn

What’s it about?
“The film, from the directors of A Brony Tale, I Am Evel Knievel and the upcoming Johnny Cash – American Rebel, tells Chris Farley’s story, from his early days in Madison, Wisconsin, and at Marquette University, through his work at the legendary club Second City to his rapid rise to the top of the comedy world on “Saturday Night Live” and in hit films like Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. Sharing insights into the beloved funnyman are such co-stars and colleagues as Christina Applegate, Tom Arnold, Dan Aykroyd, Bo Derek, Pat Finn, Jon Lovitz, Lorne Michaels, Jay Mohr, Mike Myers, Bob Odenkirk, Bob Saget, Adam Sandler, Will Sasso, Molly Shannon, David Spade, Brian Stack and Fred Wolf. The filmmakers also speak to Farley’s four siblings, including his brother Kevin, a comedian and actor, and his brother Tom Jr., who wrote the biography “The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts.” – Virgin Films

Nate’s Two Cents?
Ever since seeing the trailer I was really looking forward to seeing the documentary about the man who made me laugh so many times growing up, Chris Farley. The film was very informative and gives the viewer the story of how Farley rose to the top, but also reveals the deeper issues that Farley had behind the scenes. It gets a bit rough towards the end as his friends and colleagues talk about his downwards spiral, and I’m not gonna lie I shed a few tears hearing their heartbreaking stories. If you grew up watching Chris then you will enjoy hearing his story and I would recommend giving this a watch when you get the chance.

Police Story: Lockdown

Rotten Tomatoes: 14% | IMDB: 6.2
“Police Captain Zhong Wen (Jackie Chan) knows all about sacrifice. He’s always been too busy chasing bad guys to be a father to his daughter Miao (Jing Tian). Tonight, he’s seeing her for the first time in years – and meeting her fiance, club owner Wu Jiang (Liu Ye). But Wu knows Zhong. And his plans for the evening include taking Miao, Zhong, and the entire club hostage. Zhong knows about sacrifice. What will he give up to save his daughter?” – Well Go

Soaked in Bleach

Rotten Tomatoes: 30% | IMDB: 7.6
“SOAKED IN BLEACH reveals the events behind Kurt Cobain’s death as seen through the eyes of Tom Grant, the private investigator that was hired by Courtney Love in 1994 to track down her missing husband (Kurt Cobain) only days before his deceased body was found at their Seattle home. Cobain’s death was ruled a suicide by the police (a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound), but doubts have circulated for twenty years as to the legitimacy of this ruling, especially due to the work of Mr. Grant, a former L.A. County Sheriff’s detective, who did his own investigation and determined there was significant empirical and circumstantial evidence to conclude that foul play could very well have occurred. The film develops as a narrative mystery with cinematic re-creations, interviews with key experts and witnesses and the examination of official artifacts from the 1994 case.” – Emerging Pictures

The Skeleton Twins

Rotten Tomatoes: 87% | IMDB: 6.9

Who’s in it?
Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Luke Wilson, Ty Burrell
What’s this thing about?
“When estranged twins Maggie (Kristen Wiig) and Milo (Bill Hader) feel they’re at the end of their ropes, an unexpected reunion forces them to confront why their lives went so wrong. As the twins reconnect, they realize the key to fixing their lives may just lie in repairing their relationship.” – Roadside Attractions

Nate’s Two Cents?
I really enjoyed this dark comedy when I first saw it last year. I’ve been meaning to revisit it and now I think I might just do so. Hader and Wiig both give amazing performances in the film and are able to make you feel super bummed out at times, and at others have you laughing. Give it a watch if you have the time!!
