Oscilloscope Laboratories has some good times lined up for July 14 with the DVD and Blu-ray debut of director Jack Henry Robbins’ VHYes.

This quirky comedy got a lim-ited theatrical (yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know by now what that means … with the Covid-19 and all) and, for the record, arrives in the home entertain-ment packaged media marketplace with an ARR of 179 days.

In VHYes, we are introduced to Ralph (Mason McNulty — Assimilate, 12 Pups of Christmas), a twelve-year-

Paramount's Body Cam On July 14

Dark Force's The Last Victim On Aug. 25

MVD's Nothing Stays The Same, July 14

Bayview's Soldier Of Embers, June 30

The Saxon Pub in Austin, Texas is closed at the moment. There is a notice on their website that reads, in part, “The Saxon Pub is working with our artists to reschedule shows canceled, due to COVID-19 … Please continue to check back here …”

For 30 years, beginning in 1990, the Saxon Pub was THE place to be in Austin for on-the-rise musi-cians. During that period of time they have hosted over 22,000 musical performances … the main venue is simply called, “the listening room.”

MVD Entertainment Group has selected July 14 as the street date for documentary filmmaker Jeff Sandmann’s award-winning look at the history of this iconic venue, Nothing Stays The Same: The Story of The Saxon Pub. For fans in need of Saxon

Paramount Home Media has captured the domestic distribution rights to the Ace Entertainment/BET Films production of director Malik Vitthal’s supernatural thriller, Body Cam. With theatres currently shutdown, this Mary J. Blige chiller will be heading to DVD on July 14.

Patrol cop Renee Lomito (Mary J. Blige — Mudbound, Rock of Ages, Prison Song) is on a seemingly routine patrol when her part-ner is killed in a bizarre way;

gruesome. No problem, her body cam recorded the entire incident.

She watches it and it appears that something out of the ordinary, perhaps without explanation occurred. Here’s the catch, when she tries to share the footage with her superiors, nothing. Nada. She’s the only one that can see the ghostly image.

You guessed, she’s turned over to Dr. Lee (Han Soto) for a psych anal-ysis … clearly she’s crazy or perhaps suffering from PDSD as a result of losing her partner. There’s just one problem more cops start dying from the unexplained.

Without giving away the twist, let’s just say that a murder took place, some cops were involved … and this is payback.

Body Cam plays out like a haunted house thriller, except it takes place on the streets.

Dark Force Entertainment, with sales and dis-tribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Aug. 25 for the Blu-ray debut of director Jim Sotos’ The Last Victim.

Tanya Roberts was an unknown in 1975, long before her role as Julie Rogers on Charlie’s Angels, or as “Bond” girl Stacey Sutton in A View to a Kill … or even before The Beastmaster and Tourist Trap.

Her debut film was the PG-rated remake of writer/director Shaun Costello’s 1973 X-Rated adult film, Forced Entry (starring Harry Reems … which was kind of an adult homage to The Last House on the Left, which was released the previous year). Titled The Last Victim, it got a quick in-and-out

Bayview Entertainment turns up the action dial to high on June 30 with the DVD debut of writer/director Danny Cotton’s Brit-flick thriller, Soldiers of Embers.

The co-writer of the film, Matt Long (No More Lights in the Sky, Charlie, Wanderers of War: Black-out), also stars as Jack Bishop, a former British soldier who spent time, perhaps too much time, away from home … birthday parties, school plays and missing his daughter, Jo (Pippa Harrison) grow up.

He is looking to reconnect, to have a normal family life, but the world doesn’t always work out that way as events from his past come a visiting … dark, violent and long-thought to buried, but the front lines of the past are suddenly hitting very close to home.

The film itself was some two years in the making, with the picturesque English city of Norwich being used for location shooting. Once finished, this more-than-a-routine action film was taken out on the festival circuit — much like an arthouse entry. Soldiers of Embers picked up awards and some terrific buzz along the way … and now the action is ready to be unleashed in the domestic market by Bayview Entertainment on June 30.

VHYes Continued

Victim Continued

Christmas with the gift of a video camera and is eager to use it.

He needs a tape for his project and that’s where things go south. Ralph finds his parent’s wedding tape and begins hap-hazardly recording over it … and that’s the “movie” that we are tuned into. His “must-see” cinema verite, stream-of-conscious video playlist … recorded from hither and yon.

A while back, Oscilloscope put out (May of 2018 to be exact) a DVD and Blu-ray release that was simply titled Road Movie. It is a simply hilarious collection of Russian dash-cam videos … assembled together featuring wrecks and other things that happen randomly on the highways and back roads of Russia. It is deceptively simple entertainment and yet totally mesmerizing in its viewing.

Robbins’ VHYes is the 1987-era equivalent. Ralph quickly learns that he can record anything from late night TV and that’s when it gets truly weird (ignore that his father is beginning to ask questions about the source of his tape).

The entire movie is actually recorded on the same technology from the period and that makes it even stranger, if that is possible. There is also a subtext that you begin to pick up on as the “movie” progresses … this technology will eventually become an addiction.

Bonus features include — are you ready for this — extended scenes with “Sexy Swedish Aliens” (we told you VHYes was weird) and two Sundance Film Festival short films from Jack Henry Robbins, Hot Winter and Painting with Joan (both equally weird and film festival winners as well).

theatrical release through indie distributor Howard Mahler Films in October of 1975 and was then gone … forgotten.

After that, Roberts career grew and grew and so some enterprising indie picked it up, added some extra footage and re-released to take ad-vantage of Tanya Roberts new-found stardom (Century International was the company, which was so far below the radar that it didn’t even make Box Office Magazine’s 1984 annual “Buyer’s Guide” of film distributors).

The new title was Forced Entry and suddenly Tanya Roberts has a co-star, Nancy Allen, who had a small part as one of the victims, but she too had moved from no-name to star with such films as Carrie, Blow Out and Dressed to Kill … so hype it!!

The story focuses on an auto mechanic by the name of Carl (Ron Max), who is as nice as nice can be to the customers and his little old lady neighbor, but if he spots an attractive young woman … rape and murder follow (Nancy Allen played a hitch-hiker that Carl picks up).

For most of the film we follow Carl’s crime spree, with time out taken here and there to check in on Nancy Ullman (Tanya Roberts) and her home life. As luck would have it, her car needs some work and Carl is the guy. He can’t help himself and the big climax is his assault on poor Mrs. Ullman …

Dark Force Entertainment has lined up a new 2K scan from the original film negative … plus the extra scenes from a remaining 35mm print and gives the view both viewing options — The Last Victim or Forced Entry. Enjoy!!


Evil Continued States dating back to the 1800s. Kicking off the collection is documentary filmmaker Kevin R. Hershberger’s six-part mini-series titled Gangster Empire - Rise of the Mob.

Hershberger takes the viewer through the history of “the Mob” with a focus on Prohibition, Atlantic City, Al Capone and the Roaring 20s, The St. Valentine’s Massacre, The Depression, J. Edgar Hoover and his “Public Enemies” list and a special focus on the Italian Mob and the real “Godfathers” of New York and finally out to Las Vegas for the new mobster “playground.”

Next up is the three-part series, Moonshine and the Dixie Mafia, which breaks down the rise of the so-called “Dixie Mafia” into a look at the world of Bourbon, the arrival of Prohibition and backwoods stills and the rise of stock car racing and back road smuggling at hectic speeds … and finally a look at the real-life Buford Pusser of Walking Tall fame, with insights provided by none other than his daughter, Dwana.

Rounding out the collection is the ten-part series, Vegas: The City the Mob Made. Here we learn about Las Vegas before the arrival of organized crime, the “Golden Age” of Las Vegas, Las Vegas becoming a modern city, the decline of Mob Rule and more.

Wait! Wait! Wait, not done yet. Mill Creek Entertainment’s Aug. 11 DVD release of Becoming Evil: The Mafia also includes a Digital download bonus, the nine-part mini-series titled Hollywood vs The Mob.

Each episode focuses on events in the real world and how Holly-wood made movies to reflect those events. Films like Little Caesar, The

Public Enemy, Loan Shark, Marked Woman and The Black Godfather are discussed in this very different look at the rise of “The Mob.”
