“A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy“ is a whimsical comedy by Woody Allen that benefits from Gordon Willis’s beautiful cinematography. MGM has given it a re-release on Bly-ray.
“A Prairie Home Companion” is a faithful adaptation of the long running NPR radio show penned by Garrison Keillor. This was Robert Altman’s final film. Warner Archive has given it a proper Blu-ray release.
Warner Archive have given “The Return of Doctor X” an attractive Blu-ray release. This is a curio because it is the only science-fiction horror film to feature Humphrey Bogart.
Michael Curtiz’s “The Walking Dead” is an interesting combination of gangster/science fiction/ supernatural revenge genre films that showcases Boris Karloff. Warner Archive has meticulously restored the film.
Christopher Guest’s last collaboration with Eugene Levy “For Your Consideration” has been given a Blu-ray release by Warner Archive. Time has been kind to the film and it deserves reappraisal by fans of their earlier works.
“Journey Into Fear” is a somewhat less successful collaboration between Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles which has been beautifully restored by Warner Archive.
“Boiling Point” is one of the most authentic dramas to take place in a kitchen ever made. The film by Philip Barantini features a blistering performance by Stephen Graham.
“Eric Clapton: Standing at the Crossroads” is a fairly weak documentary on the guitar legend.
