The Wizard is a nostalgia trip through the days when Nintendo was everywhere. The film stars Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis, Beau Bridges, and Christian Slater. Shout!Factory has given the film a great looking Collector’s Edition.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Is easily one of my comedies of all time. Michael Caine, Steve Martin, and Glenn Headly are perfection in the Frank Oz directed film. Shout!Factory has given it a new release with a 2K scan.
Jean-Claude Van Damme reunites with writer/director Sheldon Lettich for a film that promises twice the Van Damage. One of my favorite Van Damme films.
Baby the Rain Must Fall is a well done drama starring Steve McQueen and Lee Remick. The film is deadly serious and is hurt by some musical scenes, but the performances make it memorable.
The Hunted is a fun action film from the peak of American paranoia regarding Japan’s influence. Fans of Rising Sun will enjoy.
A Breed Apart has a fantastic cast but the script fails to create enough tension to make a lasting impression. Shout!Factory has given the film a release.
The Prisoner of Second Avenue is well directed and features fine performances, but it is so overwhelmingly negative that it is not worth the effort.
Frankenstein Created Woman is a fun and melodramatic Hammer Horror film starring David Morse and Susan Denberg. Shout!Factory has given it a deluxe release.
None but the Brave is an interesting film because of its even handling of both sides of the conflict. It is also notable as Sinatra’s first directorial effort. It has a lot of failings but a strong finale.
Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, and Rutger Hauer Star in this early-Eighties thriller. Aside from a fairly ridiculous ending, the film works pretty well. Shout!Factory have given it a great special edition.
