The MVD Marquee Collection has announced that it will add four new titles to its Blu-ray catalog. They are: Jeannot Szwarc's Enigma (1982), Tobe Hooper's Mortuary (2005), Mark Mylod's The Big White (2005), and Frank Sebastiano's Beer League (2006).
Enigma
Synopsis: Trapped behind the Iron Curtain, Alex Holbeck (Martin Sheen, Apocalypse Now), a double agent, tries to find the key to five pending murders by locating a Russian coded micro-processor holding information that would unravel the assassination scheme. His mission becomes both hauntingly romantic and punishingly dangerous as he encounters his former mistress Karen Reinhardt (Brigitte Fossey, The Man Who Loved Women), who becomes torn between her love for Alex and Dimitri Vasilikov (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park), a Russian KGB officer, while snared in a game of subterfuge and danger.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Mortuary
Synopsis: When the Doyle family moves to a small town in California, they plan on starting a new life...perhaps a strange choice, seeing as this new life entails running the long-abandoned Fowler Funeral Home and cemetery. The locals fear the place, and there are whispers around town that not only are the grounds haunted, but that the Fowler boy, who wore a burial shroud to hide his hideously deformed face, still lives in one of the tombs there. The Doyles discover all too soon that the gossip is true. Something lurks beneath the Fowler estate--something that raises the dead from long-forgotten graves...something that feeds upon death itself.
Directed by horror legend Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist), Mortuary ''is an overlooked contemporary classic'' (WickedHorror.com) that features an all-star cast including Dan Byrd (The Hills Have Eyes), Denise Crosby (Pet Sematary), Stephanie Patton (Deep Impact) and Bug Hall (Subterranea) whose ''characters are outright fun to watch. '' (AXS).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Big White
Synopsis: On the brink of bankruptcy, Alaska travel agent Paul Barnell (Academy AwardŽ Winner* Robin Williams, Good Will Hunting) cooks up a scheme to pass off a dead body as his long-lost brother, Raymond (Academy AwardŽ Nominee** Woody Harrelson, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), and then collect on his life insurance. But unfortunately, the investigator isn't buying the scam, the hit men responsible for the body want it back -- so they kidnap Paul's Tourette's afflicted wife Margaret (Academy AwardŽ Winner*** Holly Hunter, The Piano) -- and, to top it all off, Raymond shows up demanding a piece of action. So much for easy money!
From writer Collin Friesen ('Schitt's Creek'), acclaimed director Mark Mylod ('Game of Thrones') and a score by rock legend Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo, Thor: Ragnarok) The Big White boasts an all-star supporting cast that includes Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar), Tim Blake Nelson (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs) and Alison Lohman (Drag Me To Hell) in the dark comedy that has ''slapstick laughs, surprising warmth and star wattage. '' (Total Film)
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Beer League
Synopsis: Artie DeVanzo's (Artie Lange, Dirty Work) has no job, no girlfriend and still lives with his mother (Laurie Metcalf, Lady Bird). But he does have two things to look forward to in life: beer and softball. With his best buddy Maz (Ralph Macchio, The Karate Kid), Artie plays on a softball team for Ed's Bar and Swill -- until their brutish behavior threatens to get them kicked out of the league. In order to maintain their place, they'll have to defeat the champions at Manganelli Fitness -- no easy task when their blood-alcohol levels exceed their batting averages.
From writer-director Frank Sebastiano ('SNL', Dirty Work), Beer League features an all-star supporting cast that includes Anthony DeSando (Money Monster), Joe Lo Truglio ('Brooklyn Nine-Nine'), Jimmy Palumbo (Collateral Beauty), Jerry Minor ('SNL') and Seymour Cassel (Rushmore)along with cameos by Tina Fey ('30 Rock') and Jim Breuer (Half Baked) in the ''welcome return to the raunchy hey-day of comedy'' (Film Threat).
