The Gate – October 6
July 17, 2009
They are here and they want to meet the neighbors. After an old tree is removed from the ground, three teenagers come across a special rock with a beautiful crystalline center in their backyard. The rock enthralls them and they dig up the family’s lawn in a search for more of the precious stones. However, instead of stones, they find the Gate: a hidden underground chamber that holds the secret of centuries and the vengeance of eternity. Their actions inadvertently liberate a horde of nasty, pint-sized demons from the hole and what follows is a classic battle between good and evil as the three kids struggle to overcome a nightmarish hell that is literally taking over the Earth.
From Lionsgate w/ theatrical trailer, interviews, and director commentary.

Criterion Hints Around Fall Release of Che’
July 9, 2009
This image was included in the June Criterion Newsletter.
Currently Soderbergh’s Che is available as a 60-day blockbuster exclusive released in 2 parts.
Translated from this spanish article:
Steven Soderbergh:
We have a pile of scenes that did not make it to the movie that we would like to include. Also a mountain of investigative material that we compiled: video interviews, secret documents that have been revealed, documentary material. Is going to be an enormous work for someone in Criterion, but is going to be a fantastic disc. It made me very happy to know that we arrived at an agreement with Criterion.
cool.

STEPFATHER(s) – September/October
July 2, 2009
One of the most-wanted classic horror films on DVD finally makes its U.S. disc debut as Shout! Factory brings Joseph Ruben’s 1987 psychochiller THE STEPFATHER to disc this fall.
Starring Terry O’Quinn in a career-launching role as a man obsessed with heading the perfect family who marries into fatherless families—only to kill them when they don’t live up to his standards, THE STEPFATHER will street October 13 to tie in to the theatrical release of the remake. The DVD will feature a new high-definition widescreen transfer and include a number of special features, including audio commentary by and interviews with producer Jay Benson and actress Jill Schoelen (who plays the villain’s suspicious stepdaughter), plus more to be announced.
here is the trailer for the remake (barf!)
In related news: Synapse has made it pubic that they are going to be releasing STEPFATHER 2 to coincide with the remake.
“We’re releasing STEPFATHER 2 on September 29 to tie in with the remake of the original scheduled for October – we’re putting that one on the fast track. We’re big fans of the movie, and we jumped at the chance to get it. We will be porting over all the supplements from the previous disc,” released by Miramax in 2003, and since discontinued; these bonuses include an audio commentary by director Jeff Burr and producer Darin Scott. “There will also be additional extras, including a featurette from Red Shirt Pictures containing interviews with the cast and crew, deleted scenes and the trailer. We’re looking into doing a new transfer, and checking on the materials now.”

From Diaboik DVD:
UNCUT AND UNCENSORED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE US
It was the movie that stunned audiences, shocked the MPAA and marked the debut of one of the most uncompromising filmmakers in modern horror. Golden Globe® winner Dylan McDermott (The Practice, Dark Blue) stars as a post-apocalyptic scavenger who brings home a battered cyborg skull for his metal-sculptor girlfriend. But this steel scrap contains the brain of the M.A.R.K. 13, the military’s most ferocious bio-mechanical combat droid. It is cunning, cruel, and knows how to reassemble itself. Tonight, it is reborn…and no flesh shall be spared. NTSC All Region
