 It’s been a day.
A whole 24 hours, almost to the minute, has gone by since I last posted about Roommate Wanted (aka 2Br/1Ba). That very post is here.
Having stumbled across the news that Roommate Wanted was recently released in Germany on DVD and Blu-ray formats, I also found out that in about one month’s time those on the other side of the world will get it too.
Yes, our cousins in Australia will be on the receiving end of both disc formats on the 20th of July this year.
Based on the ‘M’ logo on the front of the cover (image on the right) it looks like the film has been classified as being suitable for those aged 15 and over. Apparently there is some leeway for appropriate adults to be slightly inappropriate and allow younger ones access, but they probably shouldn’t. Always read any advisory notes provided by your regional authority.
Australia is not part of Europe, and is seriously considering no longer having anything to do with the UK, but managed to horn in on Eurovision recently because it uses the same TV standards and therefore is in the same DVD/Blu-ray region codes.
 It’s been a year.
A whole 12 months, almost to the day, has gone by since I last posted about Roommate Wanted (aka 2Br/1Ba). That very post, my review of the movie, is here.
I have just discovered that Roommate Wanted has been released in Germany for home viewing. Not only is it available on DVD, as it was in the USA, but also on the hi-def Blu-ray format too.
It looks like it started shipping at the beginning of this month (June 2016). Despite what the image on the right suggests I believe the disc is rated with as acceptable for 16 year olds. Check your local suppliers for details though.
As things stand at the time of writing the UK is still part of Europe and the whole continent, and Australasia, are part of the same region for DVDs and Blu-rays so cross border purchasing is viable.
Kathryn has a small role in the comedy drama about two room-mates (played by Alexa Vega and Spencer Grammer) who get into a more than a little disagreement about something.
 New news has been a bit hard to come-by of late so in another ‘remainder reminder’ the horror-western Bone Tomahawk is out on on DVD and Blu-ray formats in the UK from tomorrow (13th June).
I’m not sure how successful Bone Tomahawk was at the cinemas. It got a limited release and was also made available via VOD services around the same time, which will have had an impact. This makes box-office figures sparse and of limited use in gauging results.
 The long time span between the first UK screening at the BFI London Film Festival in October of last year, the general release being delayed until February of this year, and then a further 4 months for the home disc release, can’t have helped matters.
The general consensus appears to be that Bone Tomahawk is a very good film, especially for such a low budget production from a first time director (also the writer) S. Craig Zahler. The stellar cast must have helped in getting the idea to the screen.
No doubt it will quickly become a cult classic now it is available on disc.
Here are links those links again to the Amazon UK DVD and Blu-ray pages.
There is still over a week to go if you want to win a copy of Bone Tomahawk in the format of your choice in a competition on the Scream horror magazine website. See HERE for details.
Monday-week (that’s the Monday after tomorrow for those non-Englanders) the horror western Bone Tomahawk will be released on DVD and Blu-ray formats in the UK.
It hits the shelves, virtual and real, on Monday the 13th of June.
Much to my surprise it looks like I didn’t post this information when I found it out a while back. I definitely posted about the addition of pages on Amazon’s website back in February but the information then was not complete. Later the proper date was added.
The prices of the discs has dropped since then to £9.99 (~US$15) for the DVD and £14.99 (~US$22) for the Blu-ray. Don’t worry if you pre-ordered, you will be charged the lower price at the time of shipping.
If you would like to a copy for free then the website of Scream, the horror magazine, is offering readers an opportunity to win one. They have 7 Blu-rays and 3 DVDs so there are ten chances to take a price. You only need to send them an email with your contact details by the 20th of June (a couple of weeks from now) to take part. See the Scream website HERE for details.
 Over two years since our last post on Alice Sweet Alice, and over three since any significant news, we have an update.
What exactly it means for Kathryn fans is not entirely clear but it does give us a small insight in to the world of film making.
To recap: Alice Sweet Alice was a horror movie from 1976 by the writer/director Alfred Sole. More recently Alfred has been a production designer working on films and TV shows, including contributing to a number of seasons of Castle, which just finished its final run. Back in 2013 Dante Tomaselli the horror writer/director, and cousin of Alfred, announced his plans to remake Alice Sweet Alice. Kathryn was said to be involved playing the mother of the title character and would be taking a role behind the camera with her own production company.
As I said, a long time has passed with no news.
Dante has now given an interview with the iHorror website giving details on what has been happening in the intervening period. Various attempts to secure funding fell through, including by Kathryn herself. As Dante says:
“First, Alfred’s ex-agent was confident she had funding but, ultimately, she didn’t. Then Kathryn Morris was going to serve as Executive Producer, but she couldn’t raise the funds. She did try. That was it.”
Apparently Dante, with his co-writer Michael Gingold, has re-worked the project into a scarier film with a new script and production is being revived. Kathryn’s further involvement is not mentioned, nor is it dismissed. However, it is noticeable that as of earlier this month Kathryn is no longer listed on the film’s IMDb page.
