Boogie Boy is a good reminder of the independent film boom spawned by Quentin Tarantino’s success. MVD Rewind have given the film a deluxe release.

Framing John DeLorean is an interesting documentary that stumbles a little bit from its more meta elements. Alec Baldwin and other actors star in the re-enactments. Shout!Factory has provided some excellent supplemental material that fleshes out the story.
The Andromeda Strain is a faithful adaptation of Michael Crichton’s classic novel. Robert Wise directs the film capably and Arthur Hill stars.
The Entity is an effective supernatural thriller starring Barbara Hershey, but the intense scenes of sexual assault are sure to keep many viewers from the film. Shout!Factory has given it a pristine release in a new Collector’s Edition.
The Set-Up is one of the most tightly scripted and edited boxing dramas I have ever seen. This is a fantastic film starring Robert Ryan under the direction of Robert Wise.
