ARROW VIDEO RELEASE DETAILS OF THE MOVIES THEY ARE BRINGING TO NORTH AMERICA

Arrow Films have revealed more information about the expansion of its celebrated Arrow Video label into North America this coming March.

Arrow Video were a huge success in the UK for their various cult and horror releases. They have, over the last few years, also won several ‘Label of the Year’ awards by The Guardian (2011, 2013) and Home Cinema Choice Magazine (2010/2013/2014) as well as awards from other institutions and festivals around the world.
There were also plenty of film collectors aware of their great restoration work and exclusive extras this side of the pond! So it's great news that while Hollywood studios seem to be dialling back on physical media, Arrow will join the ranks of Shout Factory, Blue Underground, Grindhouse Releasing and others, giving us hungry, rare and genre film fans what we want!

Arrow Video are launching in North America with a host of cult titles, receiving the usual deluxe treatment in video, audio, supplements and artwork.
Launch titles include:

Tonino Valerii’s Spaghetti Western Day of Anger [I Giorni dell’ira, aka Gunlaw] starring genre icons Lee Van Cleef and Giuliano Gemma;

Michael Armstrong’s bloody and brutal critique of state-funded religious corruption Mark of the Devil in a director-approved release;

and the thrillingly bizarro yakuza-samurai-ghost story-horror hybrid from Teruo Ishii, Blind Woman’s Curse (1971, also known as Black Cat’s Revenge).







Future releases include films never-before-released on DVD and/or Blu-ray from European and Japanese cult directors.

The release dates of these North American Blu-ray premieres are:
Mark of the Devil on 17th March,
Blind Woman’s Curse on 24th March
Day of Anger on 31st March.

Massacre Gun,

Blood and Black Lace

About Arrow Video:
Started as an offshoot label of Arrow Films in 2009, the label began with two cult titles: Lucio Fulci’s The House by the Cemetery (1981) and Lamberto Bava’s Macabre (1980). Arrow Video releases hark back the video store glory days when VHS covers were lurid and exciting. The Label employs top illustrative artists to create brand-new oil-painting covers featuring reversible original key art as an alternate option. The label releases definitive editions that include complete uncut versions, multiple audio tracks, copious extras, cutting edge design and informative booklets. The collection now spans more than 100 releases and includes films by a host of major auteurs from Argento to Yuzna!

Alan Partridge comes to American shores

After proving to be a massive hit in the UK and abroad, America is set to get the feature length tale of everyone's favourite odd ball, middle aged, local radio DJ from Norwich, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (uk title)
Magnolia Pictures will release ALAN PARTRIDGE on iTunes/OnDemand February 27th and in theaters April 4, 2014.

Watch the official trailer for ALAN PARTRIDGE, starring Steve Coogan, exclusively on Apple Trailers: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/alanpartridge/

Directed by Declan Lowney 

Starring Steve Coogan, Felicity Montagu, Simon Greenall, Colm Meaney and Tim Key 

Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) has had many ups and downs in his life. National television broadcaster. Responsible for killing a guest on live TV. Local radio broadcaster. A nervous breakdown in Dundee. His self-published book, 'Bouncing Back', subsequently remaindered and pulped. 

The movie, ALAN PARTRIDGE finds Alan at the center of a siege, when a disgruntled fellow DJ (Colm Meaney) decides to hold their station hostage after learning that he’s getting sacked by the new management. 

The character Alan Partridge first appeared over twenty years ago as a BBC sports reporter on the radio show, On The Hour. Since then, this wonderfully conceited, petty, anal, idiosyncratic comic creation has flourished across virtually every medium you can think of. He’s been a sports reporter (again) on the seminal TV news spoof, The Day Today, host of his own TV chat show, Knowing Me, Knowing You, star of the fly-on-the-wall sitcom I’m Alan Partridge, and most recently Mid-Morning Matters.

I can tell you, as I have seen the film that it's very funny and well worth a look when it's released.

The Right Kind Of Wrong Trailer and Details

Magnolia Pictures will release THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG on iTunes/OnDemand February 6, 2014 and in theaters March 14, 2014. 

Directed by Jeremiah Chechik
Starring Ryan Kwanten, Sara Canning, Will Sasso and Catherine O'Hara

Leo Palamino has dedicated his life to what some may call impossible dreams. At least his ex-wife Julie would call them that. But Leo is an expert at not listening to her criticism or anyone else’s for that matter because Leo is a stubborn romantic... An idealist. A dreamer. And to dream big, impossible dreams you can’t listen to the people who tell you that’s what those dreams are.

It is precisely this refusal to listen to criticism that drove his ex-wife Julie to blog about Leo’s flaws as their relationship broke down. A blog... called Why You Suck that would become a cultural phenomenon. And so when we meet Leo Palamino, he is a romantic dreamer, a dedicated writer, a dishwasher in a tourist trap, and a celebrity...

A man famous for his flaws.

Then one afternoon, as the very dejected Leo watches Julie being interviewed on a talk show about her upcoming book, he lays eyes on the woman of his (impossible) dreams... COLETTE is on her way into a wedding across the street from Leo’s house.

Her wedding.
