Born to Win

Ivan Passer’s “Born to Win” is a well made character driven drama from the “New Hollywood” era. George Segal stars as J, a heroin addict whose hustles cause him to continuously spiral downward. Fun City Editions have given the film an attractive release.

Morvern Callar

“Morvern Callar” is an exceptionally well made film by filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. It is a beautiful rumination on loss, grief, and rejuvenation. The soundtrack is killer. Fun City Editions has given the film a great release with a strong 2K scan.

Babylon

“Babylon” was a big bold artistic statement by Paramount and Damien Chazelle that backfired at the box office. It will be interesting to see how the film is evaluated critically in the decades that follow. The Paramount 4K UHD release is demo quality.

Training Day

“Training Day” is one of the best urban crime films thanks to excellent performances by Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke and an excellent soundtrack of Los Angeles rap. Warner Bros. have given the film a strong 4K transfer and excellent Atmos track.

Bubba-Ho-Tep

Scream Factory has given Don Coscarelli’s “Bubba-Ho-Tep” a 4K UHD release. It is the only film that features Bruce Campbell as Elvis alongside Ossie Davis as JFK battling a mummy that preys on the elderly.
