Warner has done a brand new 4K restoration of the cult hit film “Constantine” from the original Super 35MM negatives, and it looks tremendous. Fans of the picture will be elated.
Shane Black’s “The Nice Guys” is one of my favorite movies of the last decade. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe have great chemistry as mismatched partners working a case. Warner has released a 4K UHD.
“The Searchers” is essentially a perfect film, and Warner Archive’s 4K UHD is a perfect release. This 4K earns our highest recommendation.
With a quarter century in the rear view mirror, “Can’t Hardly Wait” has aged really well as a Nineties take on a John Hughes party film. The Sony 4K is really well done with a new Atmos track.
Legends of the Fall was too heartfelt and emotional for the critics of its time, but audiences responded to the film then and now. Based on the novella by acclaimed author Jim Harrison, Edward Zwick’s film realizes the full potential of the text. Sony’s UHD is gorgeous.
”The Hitcher” was misunderstood by critics, but it is one of the best thrillers of the Eighties. Featuring one of the great villain performances by Rutger Hauer, the film is now on 4K!
In a world of remakes and sequels, Aguirre, the Wrath of God remains a singular achievement from one of the great maverick filmmakers, Werner Herzog. The film is beautifully made and a testament to maniacally pursued dreams. Shout! Factory’s 4K edition is remarkable.
Synapse Films has given Mike Mendez’s wild and crude 2000 horror-comedy “The Convent” a 4K UHD release. It’s a fun and irreverent movie that will appeal to those of us who grew up in that era.
