Warner Archive’s release of the TV Movie “Last Stand at Saber River” is notable for its strong cast – Tom Selleck, David and Keith Carradine – and its Elmore Leonard source novel.
Shane Black’s “The Nice Guys” is one of my favorite movies of the last decade. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe have great chemistry as mismatched partners working a case. Warner has released a 4K UHD.
“The China Syndrome,” starring Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda, and Michael Douglas, was one of the last paranoid social message thrillers of the Seventies. Sony has given the film a Blu-ray release.
“The Searchers” is essentially a perfect film, and Warner Archive’s 4K UHD is a perfect release. This 4K earns our highest recommendation.
The last Yakuza picture by the unrivaled master of the genre Kinji Fukasaku, “Hokuriku Proxy War” has been given a Blu-ray release by Radiance Films. The film is as cool as sake, suits, guns, and sunglasses.
MGM has given Martin Ritt’s 1961 film “Paris Blues” a Blu-ray release. Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Sidney Poitier in Paris jazz clubs with a score by Duke Ellington make this one hard to resist.
Despite a solid premise, “Amos & Andrew” doesn’t quite develop into the clever satire it could have been. MGM has given the film a Blu-ray re-release.
