The first Tuesday of June is fully loaded with several new choices to check out this week. Four theatrical releases include Warm Bodies, A Good Day to Die Hard, Identity Thief and Escape From Planet Earth, while the latest seasons of Breaking Bad and Falling Skies also street for television audiences.
First up is Warm Bodies, a zombie apocalypse comedy that twists the Shakespeare's classic love story, Romeo & Juliet. "R" (a zombie iteration of Romeo) played by Nicholas Hoult falls in love with human Julie (Teresa Palmer). Together, the two are forced to hide their forbidden love from the humans and zombies, who are at war with one another.
The final Tuesday in May offers just two new major home media releases. The first 2013 blockbusters still have a few more weeks until their street dates hit in June, but in the meantime, home media audiences can check out Dark Skies and the debut of 1963 classic Cleopatra.
First out of the gate is Dark Skies, a mixture of sci-fi and horror that copies several classic films from the two genres. Dark Skies, directed by Scott Stewart, poses the question of other beings living alongside us, particularly when young Sammy (Kadan Rockett) believes he's communicating with the Sandman.
