New Releases, week of 4/13/13: Historical Hot Dog Edition

It’s another slow week on the DVD/Blu-ray release front. The most high-profile title is the disappointing Hyde Park on Hudson, which features Bill Murray as FDR. (More accurately, Bill Murray doing an impersonation of Cary Grant doing an impersonation of FDR.) Maybe the most notable thing about that movie is its use of hot dogs as plot device.

On the re-release side, Criterion is putting out Teinosuke Kinugasa’s acclaimed 1953 film Gate of Hell, not to be confused with Lucio Fulci’s not-as-acclaimed 1980 film The Gates of Hell (aka City of the Living Dead) in which a woman literally pukes her guts out. Criterion is also issuing a Blu-ray for David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Naked Lunch, allowing you to see puckering insect rectums and runny mugwump jism in glorious high definition.

Other notable releases: The Sorcerer and the White Snake with Jet Li, the first five Fast and the Furious films on Blu-ray, a James Gandolfini/Famke Janssen vehicle called Down the Shore, and some kind of Candian sexploitation movie called Sexcula.

After the cut, this week’s releases on DVD and Blu-ray. Also, watch hot dogs get eaten and find out how they get made (with insect rectums and mugwump jism).
