Anchorman 4K UHD / Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Blu Ray REVIEWS + Unboxing / Menu

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) Ron Burgundy is San Diego's top-rated news anchorman. While he is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace -- even outside of secretarial positions -- he certainly doesn't want his own job challenged. Keeping that in mind, it's no wonder that the arrival of Veronica Corningstone, an aspiring newswoman, is, in Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces (think cat fashion shows and cooking segments), the ambitious Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on Ron's seat behind it. Not unpredictably, Ron doesn't take the threat lightly, and it isn't long before the rival newscasters are engaged in a very personal battle of the sexes. Starring: Will Ferrell, Paul Rd., Christina Applegate and Steve Carell Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) When the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second ice age. Starring: Paul Rudd, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson

BOX SET CONTENT:

Island Of Doomed Men (1940)

Oscar winner Charles Barton directs the legendary Peter Lorre (M, The Maltese Falcon) in this sensational Noir that "pushes the censorship restrictions of the era as far as possible thanks to its elements of sadism, bondage, spousal abuse, and one very startling moment of (simulated) animal cruelty" (TCM, Nathaniel Thompson). 

Peter Lorre plays Stephen Danel, the owner of Dead Man's Island, using the off-the-radar colony as a place to keep paroled convicts as slaves. Undercover agent Mark Sheldon gets sent to the island and becomes trapped himself as Danel's sadistic guards maintain a tight circle around the house and grounds.

The Burglar (1957)

Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by David Goodis, The Burglar stars Dan Duryea, Jayne Mansfield and Martha Vickers. 

A burglar and his two associates set their sights on a wealthy spiritualist who has inherited a fortune – including a renowned emerald necklace – from a Philadelphia financier.

"This film is loaded with wonderful expressionistic touches that constantly surprise you, and sometimes take your breath away. A flashback sequence shrouded in dreamlike darkness, jolting edits, radical sound design, Sol Kaplan's amazing score, car chases that feel like you're riding the bumper, striking close-ups and shocking angles, and a stunning 10-minute carnival climax. … this is an artful noir that deserves more recognition." – Martin Teller
