Moving On (Comedy)
Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin reunite once again — but this time, for revenge — in “Moving On,” arriving on Video on Demand, Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, May 16, from Lionsgate. The film is also now available on Digital.
In this comedy from Academy Award-nominated writer Paul Weitz (“About a Boy”), Claire (Academy Award winner Fonda, “Coming Home”) and Evelyn (Academy Award nominee Tomlin, “Nashville”) are estranged friends who reunite to get even with Howard (Malcolm McDowell, “A Clockwork Orange”), the petulant widower of their recently deceased best friend. Along the way, Claire reunites with Ralph (Richard Roundtree, “Shaft”), her great love from her younger years, as each woman must make peace with her past and learn to treasure the value of a good friend.
Both the Blu-ray and DVD release of “Moving On” contain one special feature: a photo gallery.
Unwelcome (Horror)
The modern horror creature feature “Unwelcome” is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital from Well Go USA Entertainment.
A couple escapes their urban nightmare to the tranquility of rural Ireland only to hear stories of mysterious beings who live in the gnarled, ancient wood at the foot of their new garden. As warned by their new neighbors, in Irish lore the Redcaps will come when called to help souls in dire need of rescue — but it’s crucial to remember that there is always a dear price to pay for their aid.
