The Crow

“The Crow” has been given new life by Paramount with its excellent new 4K presentation. The film remains both stunning and extremely melancholy thanks to a star making final performance by the late Brandon Lee. The film has never looked better.

Rolling Thunder

Shout! Factory has given the Seventies revenge classic “Rolling Thunder” a definitive 4K UHD release. The film has aged like fine wine due to John Flynn’s down and dirty direction of a script with conflicting visions from Paul Schrader and Heywood Gould. William Devane is great in the lead role.

Handgun

“Handgun” subverts the rape-revenge genre through the outsider gaze of British director Tony Garnett. The film focuses on American gun culture in documentary style fashion while presenting Karen Young as a woman out for revenge.

Money Talks

I had a great time revisiting “Money Talks.” The plot is absolutely absurd and almost a nonfactor, but the laughs are definitely there. Chris Tucker shines playing against Charlie Sheen’s straight man. Warner Archive has given the film a Blu-ray release.

Quigley Down Under

“Quigley Down Under” is a great Western adventure film set in the Australian outback of the 19th century. With great performances by Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman, the film is still a joy to watch. Shout! Studios has given the film a 4K release.
