Movies on Blu-ray

The Loft (Erik Van Looy) Rated R [108 min] – Five married guys conspire to secretly share a penthouse loft in the city–a place where they can carry out hidden affairs and indulge in their deepest fantasies. But the fantasy becomes a nightmare when they discover the dead body of an unknown woman in the loft, and they realize one of the group must be involved. Starring Karl Urban, James Marsden, Wentworth Miller, and Eric Stonestreet

The premise of The Loft is original and convincingly fresh to make you intrigued, but the execution and the storytelling is absolutely terrible. SKIP IT!

• No special features available

Let Us Prey (Brian O’Malley) Unrated [88 min] – Held in a remote police station, a mysterious stranger takes over the minds and souls of everyone inside. Starring Liam Cunningham, Pollyanna McIntosh, and Bryan Larkin

It’s rare to find a horror movie so well shot as this, especially with how low the budget is. It’s very slow to begin with, but has decent reward if you stick it out. There’s a lot of mystery that keeps your attention, but the story is pretty thin. Let Us Prey definitely fizzles out and doesn’t quite reach the grandiose it’s shooting for, but it’s well worth a viewing. RENT IT! Special features include:

• Making Of
• Trailer
• Additional Trailers

Seventh Son (Sergey Bodrov) Rated PG-13 [102 min] – Young Thomas is apprenticed to the local Spook to learn to fight evil spirits. His first great challenge comes when the powerful Mother Malkin escapes her confinement while the Spook is away. Starring Ben Barnes, Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, and Alicia Vikander

I did not have the chance to watch Seventh Son, but it looks horrendous. It definitely didn’t get good reviews from the majority of critics as well. SKIP IT! Special features include:

• Deleted/Alternate Scenes
• Defenders of Good
• Resurrecting the Wicked
• Forging a Medieval Realm
• The Legend and Lore of the Seventh Son
• Visual Effects Gallery

Sons of Liberty (Kari Skogland) [85 min]  – The story of a group of very different men fighting in the American Colonies for freedom, and how they will shape the future for the United States of America. Based on true stories. Starring Ben Barnes, Marton Csokas, Ryan Eggold, Michael Raymond-James, Rafe Spall, and Henry Thomas

I was also not privy to this mini-series, but from what I hear it’s OK. RENT IT! Special features include:

• “Lensing Liberty: The Making of Sons of Liberty” featurette
• “Men of Independence: The Historic Figures of Sons of Liberty” featurette
• “The Choreography of War: Creating the Battles and SPFX of Sons of Liberty” featurette

Television Releases

Ray Donovan (Season 2) (Ann Biderman) Rated TV-MA [60 min] – Ray Donovan, a professional “fixer” for the rich and famous in LA, can make anyone’s problems disappear except those created by his own family. Starring Liev Schreiber, Paula Malcomson, and Devon Bagby

Sadly, I have not seen this show, but have heard mostly positive critiques. I’m a fan of Liev Schrieber if he’s given a good character, and it seems like he has a lot of fun in this role. Special features include:

• Audio Commentary: “Yo Soy Capitan” by Jon Voight and Pooch Hall
• Audio Commentary: “Walk This Way” by Liev Schreiber
• Shooting Ray Donovan
• Liev on Ray
• Jon on Mickey
• Musically Ray (via eBridge technology)
• “The Affair” Season One, Episodes 1 & 2
• “Penny Dreadful” Season One, Episodes 1 & 2
• “Happyish” Season One, Episodes 1 & 2 (via eBridge technology)
