Wow. Seems spring has sprung with the intention of melting our faces off! It’s too warm too soon, in my opinion, (end of days I tells ya!) but it is good for sitting on the patio!

There won’t be a newsletter next week as I’m taking a bit of a much-needed vacation. Yap at ya in two weeks.

If Beale St Could Talk – Heavy drama from the fella that made Moonlight about a family struggling to survive after the husband is set up by a racist cop. Lousy coppers.

New Releases!

(We have too many new films on the shelves this week to list and describe them all! I’ll pick out a few notable titles and just list the rest at the end. Capish?)

MV5BZjhkNzVkYjAtMGMzMi00Y2JjLWFkMzgtNjQ3Mzk2YThhZWExXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjc5Mjg0NjU@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Border – Strange, well-received Swedish film about a border security guard that can actually smell fear, among other things. Blu Ray only.

MV5BMTFkZmFmNzEtM2FjZC00MmQ1LThlMjctODc1M2RmNzE5NjFjXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODY1NDk1NjE@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Can You Ever Forgive Me? – Oscar nominated film stars Melissa McCarthy as a writer named Lee Israel who turns to deception when she feels she is no longer relevant. I hear ya, lady.

MV5BNDBhYzMzZGQtYTIxOC00YjJhLWExZTEtOTUxN2JlNGQwMGZkXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODY3Nzc0OTk@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Clovehitch Killer – Serial killer movie with a strange title (my wife says, “That’s a made up word!” I says, “All words are made up!”). Stars Dylan McDermott. Count me in for this one.

MV5BZjFiMGUzMTAtNDAwMC00ZjRhLTk0OTUtMmJiMzM5ZmVjODQxXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMDM2NDM2MQ@@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald – More beasts of a fantastic nature.

MV5BYzIzYmJlYTYtNGNiYy00N2EwLTk4ZjItMGYyZTJiOTVkM2RlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODY1NDk1NjE@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Green Book – A bouncer gets a gig as a driver for a African-American jazz fella as he tours the American south in the 1960’s. Won an Oscar or something for best movie. Looks like this year’s Driving Miss Daisy! I’m looking forward to the sequel, Soylent Green Book, where they drive around eating racist hicks.

MV5BNzY1MDA2OTQ0N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMTkzNjU2NTM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Mortal Engines – In the future where cities roam around on wheels devouring each other, two folks meet in London to try to stop some sort of conspiracy. Sounds cool, right? Written by Peter Jackson and his friends.

Piercing – A crazy creep, with an unsuspecting family, sets off to work but actually his plan is to murder a prostitute. Sometimes when I go to work I’d rather be doing something else – go to the bar, take kid’s lunch money, beekeeping. Maybe this guys should think about other things?

MV5BYTA3MTdkMGMtNzA5Ni00MmVmLTgxNjctZDZhZmM0OWM4OTAyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTQwMDA5NTg@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Black Dog Newsletter March 5-11 “Silver Anniversary Plate Edition!”

/0 Comments/in /by

I-Have-To-Celebrate-Alone

Holy Hotdogs! I realized that today is the 23rd anniversary of Black Dog Video. You may have heard of it. March 5th, 1996 was the date we first opened our doors to an eager public. I still remember it like it was 23 years ago. So much has changed; we all got older, some of us had kids, some of us passed away, some moved onto to bigger and brighter things. It’s been an amazing ride (I should write a memoir documenting our history) and I feel so lucky to still be able to be doing what I love. And thanks to all of you who have come through our doors and supported us through the good times and the bad. My heart is swollen (I should probably get that checked out) with love, gratitude and bacon. Hear’s to 23 more!

New Releases

Ben is Back – A drug addicted teenager expectantly shows up at his family’s house for Christmas dinner. Ruh-Roh! I imagine that drama and, hopefully, warm-hearted guffaws, ensue. Stars Julia Roberts (remember her?).

MV5BZTNiMWU4Y2MtZmQwMC00ODk5LWIxNmItMzE1OWZkOWExOTRiXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTMxODk2OTU@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Burning – Excellent, award-winning intense drama from South Korea that’s been described as a slow-burning (hah!) mystery about class, economics, sexual jealousy and cats.

MV5BMTcxMjUwNjQ5N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjk4MzI4NjM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Creed II – You wanted some more Creed in your life, you got some more Creed in your life! This time Creed, mentored once again by Sly Stallone, is up against the son of Dolph Lungren, who, if you remember Rocky III, killed Apollo Creed by punching him in the head a number of times.

The Favourite – Wonderfully excellent costume drama/comedy from weirdo filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster) that netted Olivia Coleman an Oscar prize. Top of my list of films to see!

House of Cards: Final Season – With Kevin Spacey finally killed off (did he die in the shower or something?), Claire takes over the reigns as Prez of the US of A in the final season of this show that might have gone on for one season too many.

MV5BMTkzMzgzMTc1OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjQ4MzE0NjM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Instant Family – Marky Mark and Rose Byrne find themselves overwhelmed when they take in three foster kids. Hilarious, wacky comedy hijinks, I presume, ensue.

MV5BMTg4MTEyNjE1N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzUxMDM4NjM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Vanishing – Cool-looking mystery about three lighthouse keepers who disappear after finding a chest full of gold. Gerry Butler and Peter Mullan are two of the three keepers of the lighthouse.
