Kicking off the new year, David E. Talbert’s “Another Man Will” makes its DVD Debut Tuesday Jan. 3 from RLJ Entertainment. Starring Nadine Ellis (“Let’s Stay Together”) and Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles (“The Steve Harvey Morning Show”), the romantic comedy follows Joe and Cynthia Scott, a married couple that has spent nearly two decades together. After falling into the predictable routine of a lackluster relationship devoid of excitement and adventure, Cynthia seeks a change that Joe seems unwilling to accept. When a handsome young suitor begins to offer Cynthia the attention she craves, Joe receives the wake-up call he never knew he needed.

The comedy also stars Jason Weaver (“ATL”), Andra Fuller (“The Game”), KJ Smith (“Queen Sugar”) and Teresa Sykes. “Another Man Will” premiered in December 2016 on Urban Movie Channel (UMC), the premium subscription streaming service that showcases African American and urban entertainment across all genres. Talbert recently wrote and directed the acclaimed holiday comedy “Almost Christmas.”

The journey towards a purposeful life continues in “The Ultimate Legacy,” arriving on DVD and Digital HD Tuesday Jan. 3 from Cinedigm. The third installment in the inspirational film franchise is based on acclaimed author and motivational speaker Jim Stovall’s best-selling “Ultimate Gift” book series. “The Ultimate Legacy” follows “The Ultimate Gift” and “The Ultimate Life.”

Directed by Joanne Hock (“Trinity Goodheart”) and produced and written by Rick Eldridge (“The Ultimate Gift”), “The Ultimate Legacy” continues the journey of Jason Stevens (Bartholomew), who learns firsthand the value of teaching.  Jason must provide guidance to a self-absorbed young man, Joey Anderson (Olivier), who is forced to run his family’s bed-and-breakfast for a year before earning his inheritance in his late grandmother’s will.  As part of Joey’s journey to purpose, he is challenged to grow a conscience and learns to appreciate hard work, forgiveness, generosity and the enduring value of family and friends.  Fans can also enjoy the full soundtrack, releasing Jan. 6 from Varese Sarabande Records.

In this long-awaited sequel, a group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of their friend’s sister, who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

The set includes more than three hours of bonus features on the Blu-ray and Digital HD, including an audio commentary with the director and the writer, the “House of Horrors: Exploring the Set” featurette, and a six-part making-of documentary, “Never Ending Night: The Making of Blair Witch.” The DVD release includes the audio commentary and the “House of Horrors: Exploring the Set” featurette. “Blair Witch” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD for the suggested retail price of $39.99 and $29.95, respectively.
