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.
The Best on DVD & BluRay
Hitman: Agent 47
Who’s in it?
Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto
What’s it about?
“HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research – and forty-six earlier Agent clones — endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.” – Fox
Nate’s Two Cents?
I wrote a full review for this film earlier this year. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit despite that extremely low rating it received on Rotten Tomatoes. Check out my full review and thoughts by clicking here.

What’s it about?
“New Yorker Dev takes on such pillars of maturity as the first big job, a serious relationship, and busting sex offenders on the subway.” – NETFLIX
Nate’s Two Cents?
I’ve watched about two episodes so far of this new Netflix series and so far I like what I’ve seen. Anyone who is a fan of Aziz will surely enjoy this new series. I look forward to checking out more episodes soon and binge watching the rest of the season on my days off this week. If you are looking for a new comedy series to watch then I highly recommend Master of None.

A Walk in the Woods
“In this new comedy adventure, celebrated travel writer, Bill Bryson (Academy Award winner Robert Redford), instead of retiring to enjoy his loving and beautiful wife (Academy Award winner Emma Thompson), and large and happy family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail – 2,200 miles of America’s most unspoiled, spectacular and rugged countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquility he hopes to find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to being accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek – his long lost and former friend Katz (Academy Award nominee Nick Nolte), a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law – sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and sneak into one last adventure before it’s too late. The trouble is, the two have a completely different definition of the word, “adventure”. Now they’re about to find out that when you push yourself to the edge, the real fun begins.” – Broad Green
