Page 20 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • August 21, 2013 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) “Killing Season” (Millennium Entertainment) takes place deep in the Appalachian Mountains, where reclusive American military veteran Benjamin Ford (Robert De Niro) and European tourist Emil Kovac (John Travolta) strike up an unlikely friendship. As their stories are revealed, viewers learn that Kovac has sought out Ford to settle an old score. In the remote setting, a game of cat-and-mouse ensues, with both physical and psychological battles. Old wounds are opened, suppressed memories surface, and secrets about both men come to light. There are many missed opportunities in this weakly scripted film. Viewers get little insight into the Bosnian conflict that has emotionally scarred both men. De Niro and Travolta continue their efforts to rack up roles in sub- par movies. De Niro looks bored; Travolta overacts. Neither appears happy to be a part of such a dismal undertaking. The Blu-ray release contains only one extra: a behind-the- scenes featurette. “Being Human: Season Five” (BBC Home Entertain- ment) is a British TV series about three roommates who have their hands full dealing with the supernatural. Hal (Damien Molony) is a 500-year-old vampire, Tom (Michael Socha) is a werewolf, and Lex (Kate Bracken) has recently become a ghost. This season, threats abound as the trio face a volatile and deluded new vampire and the sinister Mr. Rook (Steven Robertson), head of the secret govern- ment department charged with keeping “supernaturals” at bay. Hal and Tom find new employment at the Barry Grand Hotel, home to poisonous pensioner Captain Hatch (Philip Davis), whose decrepit exterior hides an ancient evil that threatens not only their friendship but the entire world. Extras on both the Blu-ray and DVD release include deleted scenes, cast and crew interviews, five bonus clips, and an additional scene. “Sugarfoot: The Complete First Season” (Warner Archive) contains 20 episodes from the show’s 1957-58 season. Young correspondence school law student Tom Brewster (Will Hutchins) rides the old West in search of adventure. Unfortunately, he is inept as a cowboy and promptly earns the nickname “Sugarfoot” -- one grade lower than a tenderfoot -- in the first episode. Undeterred, and with a redeeming sense of humor, he sets out to lasso some outlaws and round up a few pretty women. Although a Western in the traditional sense, with lots of action, “Sugarfoot” has a light touch that sets it apart from most examples of the genre. This was one of the first West- erns produced for television by Warner Brothers. Guest stars in Season One include Bob Steele, Slim Pickens, Dennis Hopper, Sheb Wooley, Dan Blocker, and Charles Bronson. The show is based on the movie “The Boy from Oklahoma” (1954), starring Will Rogers Jr.
