Based on the best-selling Chicano novel of all time by Rudolfo Anaya, the mystical coming-of-age film BLESS ME, ULTIMA debuts on DVD September 17th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Written for the screen and directed by Carl Franklin, BLESS ME, ULTIMA is based on the novel by Rudolfo Anaya. This movie is a story about Antonio Marez (Ganalon), a young boy growing up in New Mexico during World War II. When a mysterious curandera (healer) named Ultima (Colon) comes to live with his family, she teaches him about the power of the spiritual world. As their relationship grows, Antonio begins to question the strict Catholic doctrine that he has been taught by his parents (Heredia and Martinez). Through a series of mysterious and at times terrifying events, Antonio must grapple with questions about his own destiny, the relationship between good vs. evil, and ultimately how to reconcile Ultima’s powers with those of the God of his church.
The success of the entire movie depends on child actor Luke Ganalon, and he does an excellent job in the title role. This movie is full of deliberate pace, reliance on Catholic symbolism, and sensitive wit certain topics as hypocrisy, family, life, death, religion with their failures. The story in general is very engaging, powerful and full of flashback structures and is consider a Brilliant, gentle and beautiful film of life in northern New Mexico in the mid 1940’s.

This impressive set The Walking Dead: “The Complete Third Season” is richly developed characters, gripping action, and a good chunk of tragedy and gore. Perhaps there is something more powerful than the walkers and other humans that is coming after them but the writers and producers had the patience to make it interesting especially when a zombie bites things can be explained that it is not the bite that makes you into a zombie, it is just toxic and kills you and it is very possible that if someone were somehow “immune” to the pathogen that everyone seems to be infected with now that turns them into a zombie no matter how they die, the bite may still be toxic and kill them, but they wouldn’t turn into a zombie. There are several examples in science where one thing looked like it caused another thing and they were really unrelated when it was researched further but that is the magical part of this production and failed to disappoint all the fans, bringing the duo together for a fight that would end with Michonne (Danai Gurira) stabbing The Governor (David Morrissey) in the eye after killing his zombie daughter and smashing his zombie-head aquarium room to pieces. Many locations and scenes are incredible real and some zombies have their own personality and a past life in which you will figure out what happened to each other. Definitely two thumbs up for the upcoming series of The Walking Death 3 which must be part of your home entertainment collection will be available on August 27th in DVD and Blu-Ray.

His intellect was not watered down in the movies either as you can see how smart he is by technology he creates so for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Joss Whedon reveals in this week’s cover story that he’s stripping back some of Ultron’s abilities and will find a way to humanize him more.

Or the whole combo The Walking Death: The complete Third Season Limited Edition Blu-ray and the packaging was designed by Todd McFarlane and his McFarlane Toys company. Here’s what he had to say about his initial idea for this case. The best part of this one is more interactive, because consumers are going to have to fill up the tanks themselves, and you can get little hooks on the heads, so you can arrange them any way you see fit. Also you can hang them in a certain order, or you can just let them go to the ground and flop around. No one person’s case has to be exactly like the others.
