New on Blu-ray: BRIT NOIR COLLECTION II (Home at Seven, The Intruder, The Long Arm)

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: The mighty Jack Hawkins (The Cruel Sea, The Bridge on the River Kwai) takes center stage in this triple feature of brilliant British noir. Home at Seven (1952) – Ralph Richardson reprises his role from R.C. Sherriff’s play as a bank clerk whose inexplicable amnesia leaves him without an alibi after a murder-robbery. Co-starring Hawkins and the marvelous Margaret Leighton, this twisty mystery (a.k.a. Murder on Monday) saw Richardson direct for the first and only time in his illustrious career. The Intruder (1953) – The horrors of war come back to haunt a former World War II colonel (Hawkins) when an armed man (Michael Medwin), who once fought bravely under the colonel’s command, breaks into his home. The gripping second feature from future 007 master Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger). The Long Arm (1956) – Reuniting with his Cruel Sea director Charles Frend, Hawkins leads a Scotland Yard investigation into a spate of safe-cracking crimes across England, beginning with the latest heist in London. Known as The Third Key in the U.S., the film adopts a gritty procedural style made popular by Ealing in 1950’s The Blue Lamp.

In Theaters: LONG SHOT, UGLYDOLLS, THE INTRUDER and EL CHICANO

While "Avengers: Endgame" is expected to dominate the box-office in its second weekend and perhaps break new records, we should also focus on what's new in theaters this week. And we have quite a selection, with three wide releases and one limited/semi-wide.

The first new release is "50/50" filmmaker Jonathan Levine's new R-rated romantic comedy "Long Shot" starring Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron. The film is enjoying a positive reception from both critics and audiences, and it brought in $660,000 from Thursday night previews. The film is expected to finish its opening weekend with around $12 million.

We also have STX Entertainment's first computer-animated feature film "UglyDolls" based on the plush toys of the same name. This one isn't getting much love from anyone. However, despite low audience scores on IMDb and Metacritic, it has a curious 79% positive Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film scored $300,000 from previews and might end up with as much as $10 million over the weekend.

If you're looking for something with a certain "creepy" factor (and a bit of silliness to boot), Screen Gems has you covered with their new thriller "The Intruder" starring Michael Ealy, Meagan Good and Dennis Quaid. While the film has been panned by critics and laughed at by audiences, it still looks to be a solid box-office contender with $865,000 from previews and expectations of a $10 million 3-day debut.

Opening in just 605 theaters is "El Chicano", the first Latino superhero movie, marketed as "from the creators of "Smokin' Aces", "The Grey" and "Narc"". Unfortunately, it's not a very good Latino superhero movie, with low scores from critics and a somewhat mixed reception from moviegoers. Rotten Tomatoes, however, once again reports an unusually high 87% Audience Score.
