Nearly two years have gone by since Scream Factory brought the “nature run amok” cult classic Alligator and its sequel Alligator II: The Mutation to Blu-ray in North America. Now 101 Films’ Black Label are set to Alligator a 4K release in the UK – and since 4K Uhd discs are region free, fans outside the UK will be able to enjoy this release as well! The release date is January 29th, and copies are available for pre-order through the 101 Films website. The Alligator 4K is accompanied by a fresh Blu-ray release of Alligator II: The Mutation, but if you’re outside the UK you might need a region free player to watch that one.
Here’s the information on the release:
101 Films presents cult classic creature feature Alligator (1980) on 4K Uhd, along with the TV cut and 1991 sequel Alligator II: The Mutation (1991) on Blu-ray, title 033 on the 101 Films Black Label.

Two decades ago, :a[Quentin Tarantino]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/quentin-tarantino-movies-ranked/' target='blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} unfolded an odyssey. In the six years since :a[Jackie Brown]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/jackie-brown-original-empire-feature/' target='blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} hit the screen, the filmmaker best known for his devotion to dialogue had been working on something completely different – a four-hour action epic, swirling his love of old kung fu movies, revenge westerns, anime flicks, and his ongoing fascination with pop cultural ephemera into his most experimental and adrenaline-pumping work. And it all came under a title that wasn’t just a neat name, but a directive – its own two-word narrative pitch: Kill Bill.
With his :a[Pulp Fiction]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/pulp-fiction-review/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} star Uma Thurman, Tarantino went big – so big that the studio demand his...

Netflix has acquired $20.54 billion in long-term debt, according to second quarter SEC filings reported by the Los Angeles Times. One of the biggest buyers at the Sundance Film Festival this year, the streaming giant has increased spending on original programming in an effort to grow its subscriber base and compete with Amazon and Hulu. It is projecting spending $2.5 billion in net cash outflow for the year, up from $1.7 billion last year.
The company has many reasons to be confident: It has 104 million users worldwide, a 25% increase in subscriptions since 2016, and wracked up a whopping 91 Emmy nominations this year, just 19 of reigning leader HBO’s 110.

Girl Talk is a weekly look at women in film — past, present, and future.
There are only three requirements for passing cartoonist Alison Bechdel’s eponymous test to determine how active and present women are in a film: It must feature at least two women in speaking roles, who have names, and who talk to each other about something – anything – other than a man. Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” does not meet any of these measures, and while that might make for a splashy talking point or prove a filmmaker’s spotty history with crafting compelling female characters, it’s the only acceptable outcome for a bombastic, fact-based war film.
As valuable and insightful a metric as the Bechdel Test – off-handedly conceived of in one of Bechdel’s ’80s-era comic strips, and generously inspired by the works of Virginia Woolf – it has its limitations. Plenty of films don’t pass the test,...

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
Folk Hero & Funny Guy (Jeff Grace)
The bond of male friendship is examined – and tested – in Folk Hero & Funny Guy, a short and sweet dramedy from multi-hyphenate Jeff Grace, who writes and directs. We meet comedian Paul (Alex Karpovsky) at the end of a tired stand-up routine in a beer-stained comedy club. Meanwhile, Paul’s childhood friend Jason (Wyatt Russell) has built a successful career for himself as a folk music star.

When everyone has a gun…no one’s in control.
It’s kind of amazing to me that every film that features a gun (let alone a full stockade of guns) is not a horror movie. In 2017 alone, over four thousand human beings have been killed as a result of a firearm. When John Wick unsheathes his Glock 26 and rampages through the club popping one headshot after another, we should be fleeing to the exits rather than shoveling the next load of popcorn into our face. Have we simply built an immunity to ballistic violence? Has the trauma of the nightly news numbed our compassion, or have we reached peak saturation on tragedy. “Tonight on News 7, another horrible event we must ignore to maintain our sanity.”
Ten years after a gunman stormed the Virginia Tech campus killing 32 individuals and wounding 17 others, I found myself flinching during the trailer for Ben Wheatley’s latest film, Free Fire...

It’s not enough to love films, we now must enumerate that love or hate relative to any similar films.
It has become a familiar ritual — the latest release in a franchise or a noted director’s canon spawns more than one site to run a “The Films of ___________, Ranked” article. We’ve done this dance with the Marvel movies since At Least 2012 when The Avengers came out, and no doubt someone is at this very moment preparing a ranking of the 14 previous films in the McU to accompany the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Wonder Woman will likely spur on a ranking of all the DC Films, and we saw just in the past week where everyone stood on the existing Fast & Furious movies.
And yes, I got into the act with my own “The Films of Assistant Director Frank Capra III, Ranked.” Hopefully the point was made.

One thing we all look forward to every year is our birthday, and we here at Cineplex like to celebrate the birthdays of movies too!
In 2017, there are tons of memorable films that are hitting milestone ages. While it makes us feel a little old, it also gives us a reason to look back on some of our favourite films and have epic movie marathons (oftentimes, ones where we know all of the lines).
We did some research and compiled a master list of all of the notable films that are celebrating big anniversaries this year. Among the crop are films like Titanic, Blade Runner, The Graduate, and more.
Check out the best movie anniversaries of 2017 below and start planning your movie-themed parties accordingly!

Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.
Metrograph
“Welcome to Metrograph: A to Z” has a packed weekend with a slate that includes Alain Resnais‘ Je t’aime, je t’aime, Nicholas Ray‘s The Lusty Men, Jackie Brown, and, yes, Jackass 3D.
Baumbach & Paltrow‘s De Palma plays with a Jim McBride feature on Saturday and two De Palma shorts on Sunday.

Summer is officially here, but thanks to HBO’s latest releases, bingeing TV shows and movies on the couch may be preferable to a day at the beach. New original programming includes the premiere of “The Night Of,” a gritty new New York based miniseries, and “Vice Principals,” a dark comedy about feuding administrators.
Returning programming includes Dwayne Johnson’s “Ballers” and “Looking: The Movie,” which sums up the story of gay men in San Francisco that was explored in HBO’s recently canceled series.
Read More: 5 Things We Know About The ‘Looking’ Movie
Theatrical highlights include “Straight Outta Compton,” “Suffragette” and “The Bourne Ultimatum.” Also be sure to catch “Ali” and celebrate the life of the boxing legend before the biopic leaves HBO Now at the end of July.
Below are all of the titles hitting HBO Now in July 2016, plus IndieWire’s picks on what to stream.

Whilst he may not have officially signed with WWE as of yet, Shinsuke Nakamura’s first match in a WWE ring has already been announced. At the next Nxt: TakeOver special, Nakamura will face off against Sami Zayn in something of a dream match for pro wrestling enthusiasts. It promises to be something truly special.
Nakamura’s arrival in WWE is a genuinely big deal in the world of professional wrestling. He was one of the biggest stars in the history of New Japan Pro Wrestling, making up one third of the big three of the company along with Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada. Those two may have continually fought over the Iwgp World Heavyweight Championship recently, but it is undoubtedly Nakamura who has the greatest potential to appeal to western audiences.

Shinsuke Nakamura’s debut with WWE is inching closer to a reality, as PWInsider reports that he will report to the WWE Performance Center in Florida in early February.
Nakamura was recently stripped of his Iwgp Intercontinental Championship by New Japan Pro Wrestling and will finish up his commitments for the company at the end of January.
Nakamura is expected to stay at WWE’s Performance Center while he undergoes medical testing to be cleared to wrestle for WWE full-time, at which time he will also sign his contract. While Nakamura awaits medical clearance, he’s expected to train at WWE’s Florida facility and familiarize himself with WWE’s wrestling style and production. Once Nakamura passes WWE’s full medical testing regimen, he will sign on the dotted line.
For those worrying that this is a sign that Nakamura will be relegated to the Nxt roster from the start,...

2015 has been and nearly gone: it has been a year of great achievements and success as well as great disaster and devastation. Great human endeavour and survival has met with punctuating explosions of tragedy and triumph in equal measure, though it has sometimes been hard to see the positive through the mire.
They say that a picture says a thousand words: sometimes, they actually do a lot more than that. Photographers around the world have caught the rawest moments of human emotion, of Herculean achievement and effort and of profound political and social importance and that deserves to be celebrated.

2015 has been a unique year for World Wrestling Entertainment. There’s very much a feeling that this will have been The Undertaker’s last full year as an active member of the WWE roster, for example. Defying time, Undertaker has been part of the promotion’s system since 1990, a full 25 years. He’s the longest-running character in the pro wrestling world who is still performing inside the ring.
Not everybody can be quite so fortuitous to say the same. Generally speaking, there’s a shelf life for even the most brilliant of performers in WWE. The company doesn’t take breaks, which means the men and women on the roster run the risk of being unbelievably over-exposed. It makes sense then that there are a certain number of releases each and every year from WWE.
Most of these releases are simply a case of cycling out developmental talent,...

The Hateful Eight is epic. And not in the typical sense that it’s a movie with a story so sprawling it’s basically the modern equivalent of many a David Lean classic. Quite the opposite in fact – the story itself is rather small, driven by dialogue and taking place mostly in two interiors with a few location elements (it was possible, after all, to craft an exciting show just out of a script read).
No, The Hateful Eight is epic almost because it didn’t need to be. This is massive moviemaking of the most audacious kind, with the tight story of eight (technically nine, but one isn’t hateful) people snowed in together as hidden plots unfurl, accentuated with a culturally sweeping script (it’s set just after the American Civil War) and vast cinematography (this was shot in panoramic wide-screen and Tarantino uses every millimetre of the frame,...

Feel free to note anything we've left out in the comments below. September brings sweater weather, coat season, and a whole lot of change in Netflix’s offerings. The site recently announced that it would not renew its deal with Epix, which means that several big films in the cable network’s catalogue won’t be available online after the end of the month. In order to get you better adjusted to this brave new, Hunger Games–less world, we’ve broken down the key titles to stream, and when to stream them, before they leave the site.Watch Tonight: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Jackie Brown (1997), Sleepless in Seattle (1993) Cinderella might have had to give up one prince at midnight,...

There is good news and bad news about Kriv Stenders’ neo-noir film Kill Me Three Times. The good news is that it’s fun to see Simon Pegg enjoying himself as a real scumbag of a hitman. The bad news is that if you’ve seen a handful of crime movies in the last 20 years, you’ve already seen most of what Kill Me Three Times has to offer.
Simon Pegg plays Charlie Wolfe, a contract killer we meet as he chases down and executes some poor sap in the desert. He’s hired to take out Alice (Alice Braga, Predators) for reasons not made clear at first, but when he shows up to do the job he discovers that she’s already been rubbed out by married dentists Nathan (Sullivan Stapleton, 300: Rise of an Empire) and Lucy (Theresa Palmer, Warm Bodies).

Mel Gibson took on a big movie star role with Ransom. We take a look back at Ron Howard's 1996 thriller...
If you were a regular cinemagoer around 1996, then you can't help but have seen the trailer for Ron Howard's Ransom. Inevitably, time has dampened its impact a little but it was a promo that quite superbly sold the film (which would go on to take more than $300m at the box office worldwide). At first glance a tale of a rich man whose son is kidnapped, the trailer showed how the tables were to be turned: instead of the ransom money being handed over to the kidnappers, Gibson's character offered it as a bounty on the kidnappers' heads instead. The hunt is then turned around, quite cleverly.
Watching Ransom at the time, I always thought that the film, whilst not without merit, never fully delivered on that idea.

With Isle of Dogs’ director Tammi Sutton’s latest feature Ripped-Off gearing up for principal photography in Los Angeles, CA this spring, we caught up with the filmmaker to discuss what happens when car thieves steal the wrong vehicle (this being a Sutton film, all sorts of stylized hell will break loose, more than likely). Read on.
Currently casting, Ripped-Off was written by Jeff Sisson, and will be produced by Caprice Conley, with cinematography by Jonas Navickas. The film’s tagline is as follows; “They stole the wrong car... Now heads are gonna’ roll."
“The inception of Ripped-Off honestly started when I was winding down filming my last two features in Europe and England,” stated Sutton (her last feature currently in release, the gritty Andrew Howard and Barbara Nedeljakova-starring crime thriller Isle of Dogs, bowed to DVD via Green Apples on January 28, 2014.)

The video team here at HitFix constantly impresses me with not only the volume of work that they produce, but also the quality. We've gotten very lucky with the people we've hired, and they make any of our collaborations both easy and fun. Last week, they approached me about a new ongoing feature that they wanted to do, and tomorrow, we're going to shoot the first episode of "Ask Drew," which is exactly what it sounds like. I am constantly asked questions via e-mail and Twitter and in our comments section, and I feel like I never fully answer all of them, something that makes me feel terrible. I am grateful for each and every reader of the work we do here at HitFix, and if I can answer something, I try to. To that end, we are going to try something a little different here starting tomorrow. I want...

This week I caught three movies in theaters, two I've already reviewed -- The Lego Movie and The Monuments Men -- and the other is Winter's Tale, which I don't think I'm able to review just yet, but I will say I was expecting something terrible and that's not what I got... I'll say more next week when it hits theaters. At home I watched Francois Truffaut's Jules and Jim on Criterion Blu-ray, which I reviewed and only two people, sadly commented... Hopefully more people come to the table with thoughts and opinions when I review Alfred Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent this coming week. I watched the new Criterion Blu-ray this week as well. Also, I finally saw Paul Thomas Anderson's Hard Eight, which played Sundance and Cannes in '96 before being released in the States in '97, the same year Anderson's Boogie Nights was released.

Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street has a record number of F-words, which will keep overdubbers busy
Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street contains more F-words and derivatives of it (506) than any other movie drama thus far. But with nine others already containing more per minute (Nil By Mouth is tops at 3.34, against Wolf's 2.83), the work for expletive-friendly directors seems plentiful. And with every F-bomb comes more work for editors skilled in dubbing over such expletives for different markets, age groups and broadcast times:
■ The version of Fargo originally overdubbed for Us channel TNT is considered a classic because of the variety of its alternatives for the F-word and its derivatives. One F-word remains, possibly because – having run the gamut from freakin', fruitless, fruitful, frizzin, froozin and freezin' to flip, faking, forget, feel and full-of – the editor was simply lost for a word.

Rockstar are spoiling us in this last month as we build up to the greatest game ever made (I have said it before and I am not afraid to say it again.).
Now, whether they wanted them to or not, the achievement list has been confirmed by various websites. The Trophy list is the same for PS3 as it always is, but the achievement list has been leaked for Xbox 360 in the last day or so.
Read on for all the single player achievements and click the ‘Next’ button for all the extensive ones leveled at Multiplayer. One thing is for sure from this list, we are in for a treat:
Solid Gold, Baby! (50 points) – Earn 70 Gold Medals on Missions and Strangers and Freaks.
The second biggest achievement on the list, this one is clearly all about getting the highest ratings for all the main missions/side quests in GTA V.

Yes, the train of Tiff images continues, so bear with us. In this batch, we've got one of the last performances from the late, great James Gandolfini, the new feature from "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner and the movie otherwise known as the "Jackie Brown" prequel. First up, one of our favourite filmmakers Nicole Holofcener ("Please Give," "Walking And Talking") is back with "Enough Said," pairing Tony Soprano himself with Elaine Benes (aka Julia Louis-Dreyfuss): Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a divorced soon-to-be empty-nester wondering about her next act. Then she meets Marianne (Catherine Keener), the embodiment of her perfect self. Armed with a restored outlook on being middle-aged and single, Eva decides to take a chance on her new love interest Albert (James Gandolfini) — a sweet, funny and like-minded man. Things get complicated when Eva discovers that Albert is in fact the dreaded ex–husband of Marianne. This sharp...

Every year, someone spends hours coming up with an articulate explanation for why they hate the Oscars, and everyone rolls their eyes, tuts and tunes in to the annual ceremony anyway. It’s all just empty bluster after all – the moans of an entitled few who think they know better?
Well, no quite frankly. Every year the Academy gives us further reasons not to pay attention to their opinions, making something of a mockery of their status as the biggest event on the film calendar, and yet we all still sit up with our popcorn to watch who they have chosen to tell us are the best talents and films of the year.

Over the last few days we’ve been running an interview with producer Todd Lieberman, who- alongside producing partner David Hoberman – has been responsible for producing films as diverse as The Fighter, The Proposal, Surrogates and The Muppets.
Earlier this week we ran the first two parts: where Lieberman spoke about his career as a producer, and discussed the quirks of working with Muppets. In the final part of the interview, Lieberman turns the tables on me – quizzing me on movies I’ve liked over the last twelve months, which then led to us geeking off about Django Unchained and Silver Linings Playbook, then moving on to his taste in movies, and which films he would have liked to have been involved with.
Todd Lieberman: So what movies have you seen that you like this year?
HeyUGuys: I was about to ask you the same thing. I saw Django Unchained the other day.

Any creative process involving more than person -- forming a band, staging a play -- can often lead to relationships or severely test them, and just sharing productive space with another likeminded person is more than enough to set unexpected events in motion. And that simple premise forms the foundation of "Supporting Characters," a new indie comedy featuring "Girls" star Alex Karpovsky (aka Ray), Kevin Corrigan, Tarik Low, Sophia Takal ("V/H/S"), Arielle Kebbel ("90210") and Melonie Diaz ("Be Kind Rewind"). From director Daniel Schechter (who co-wrote the script with Lowe, and is gearing up to helm the "Jackie Brown" prequel "Switch"), the film tells the story of two best friends Nick (Karpovsky) and Darryl (Lowe) who are brough in to edit and salvage a film when the director (Corrigan) goes Awol. But that is just the beginning of their troubles as Nick begins falling for the film's young star.

Every film that has ever been made requires an incredible amount of cooperation and collaboration. A director may be the person in charge of a production and be the person that calls the shots, but they must also surround themselves with experts in specific fields from editing to cinematography to sound and lighting. That way if a director goes out of his mind and disappears to places unknown there is a potential back-up plan in place to prevent chaos and disaster. And that's the exact plot of the upcoming comedy Supporting Characters. The new comedy, which is directed and co-written by Daniel Schechter (the upcoming Jackie Brown prequel), is getting set to open nationwide on VOD this Wednesday and in select theaters on January 25th, and to celebrate its release Tribeca Film has given us an exclusive new clip.

Right now, John Hawkes, Yasiin Bey (also known as Mos Def), Jennifer Aniston and Isla Fisher are all on board.

In his review of Django Unchained, David Edelstein wrote: "Django Unchained doesn’t merely hit its marks; it blows them to bloody chunks." Django takes many Tarantino-isms and pushes them to their Tarantino-iest. Nudity, violence, language: It's all graphic. It's not surprising that Qt would make a non-family-friendly movie, but releasing it on the most family-friendly holiday maybe is. (As Julie Klausner alluded to yesterday in the video with her mother, your relatives are probably the last people you want to be sitting next to while looking at Jamie Foxx's genitals.) But is its family-unfriendliness unprecedented? We went through the last fifteen years of movies to open on Christmas Day to see if Django Unchained is actually the least family-friendly, let alone if it's the least family-friendly by Tarantino, whose Jackie Brown opened on December 25, 1997.

Little do they know that they’ve chosen the hunting grounds of a ravenous creature that can only be sated by ritualistic sacrifices every spring.

I will be doing my best again this year to find all the Blu-ray and DVD deals I can for you from Amazon just as I did last year. This year I'm also going to try and find some TV and Blu-ray disc player deals to throw in the mix as well. However, in advance of the 2012 Black Friday Deals Week, Amazon has already made available some pretty great deals on several DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray box sets that you may want to take a look at including the likes of Pulp Fiction, both Kill Bill films, The Godfather Collection, the Alien Anthology, No Country For Old Men for $5 on Blu-ray, Fight Club, three of the Twilight films, American Psycho, Trainspotting and more.
