  Severin Films continues their outstanding releases of the films of Russ Meyer with their stunning new edition of MOTORPSYCHO! (1965), involving a trio of Honda-riding bikers who terrorize a small desert town, and only local veterinarian Alex Rocco and hot-blooded Haji can stop them! Interesting to see the film that Meyer would essentially remake the following year with female protagonists at FASTER PUSSYCAT, KILL! KILL!. Severin presents the film is a razor sharp black and white transfer, with an insightful commentary by film historian Elizabeth Purchell and filmmaker Zach Clark, featurette with an archival interview with star Rocco (very frank and funny), and a trailer.

  Cauldron Films brings Godfrey Ho's martial arts hodge-podge hoot NINJA TERMINATOR to Blu-ray in an extras-packed edition, with a great transfer that really makes those pink ninja outfits and orange Garfield phone colors pop. Totally bonkers mix of a solid Korean martial arts film and totally unrelated later shot-in-Hong-Kong scenes with Richard Harrison as a bored-looking Ninja mostly hanging out in his apartment in a camo ninja suit slicing up watermelons with a sword. Plenty of ninja action and martial arts, WTF moments, and the pure joy of seeing the scene that Garfield phone meme came from.

  In theaters for the moment from Firebook Entertainment is the new Mexican horror film PARVULOS: CHILDRDEN OF THE APOCALYPSE, well worth checking out and going in as blind as possible on. Three brothers live in the woods with an unseen monster in the basement that they need to keep fed, while they wait for their parents to return in a post-apocalyptic world. Goes places you don't think it will, with a solid cast and some hard to watch moments. Full review here:

88 Films brings the Shaw Brothers melodrama HONG KONG, HONG KONG (1983) to Blu-ray, an interesting change of pace from the martial arts mayhem usually associated with the studio.
