The classic Steve Martin-John Candy-John Hughes holiday comedy has been given a new steelbook presentation. It’s a Thanksgiving tradition for many families to revisit the film and laugh as they watch every traveler’s worst nightmare unfold.
“Vanilla Sky” is one of the most interesting films in both Cameron Crowe’s and Tom Cruise’s filmographies. It is a truly unique film experience and the Paramount Presents Blu-ray is gorgeous.
“12 Monkeys” is one of the best science fiction films of the Nineties. Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis are both wonderful in the film, and Terry Gilliam directs the film beautifully. The Arrow Video Blu-ray (or Steelbook) earns our highest recommendation.
“The Shawshank Redemption” is one of the best films of all time and is the best prison drama ever made. Warner Bros. has given the film a new 4K UHD release that brings out the very best from Roger Deakins’ cinematography.
Based on the novel “No Beast So Fierce” by convict Edward Bunker, Straight Time is uniquely adept at interpreting the subject of imprisonment and recidivism in our country. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray features a beautiful transfer.
“Night Shift” is a genuinely funny and charming comedy from the Eighties. It features strong performances by Henry Winkler and Shelley Long, but Michael Keaton steals the film in his debut role. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray is not to be missed!
“I Spit On Your Grave” is one of the most relentless and difficult rape/revenge films ever made. Ronin Flix have done an excellent job of presenting this troubling film in its best presentation.
“An Angel for Satan” stars the enigmatic Barbara Steele in her final Italian Gothic performance. The film is beautifully lensed and atmospheric. Severin Films have restored the picture with great attention to detail.
“Scream” was a generation defining horror film when it was released in 1996. Wes Craven reminded everyone that he was a master at generating suspense. The script by Kevin Williamson still feels fresh twenty five years later. The new Paramount 4K UHD is a big improvement over all prior releases.
“Alone in the Dark” is an excellent thriller with elements of humor and horror. Jack Palance, Donald Pleasance, and Martin Landau Are all wonderful in the film. Shout! Factory has given the film a great release.
“April Fool’s Day” is an entertaining and lighthearted slasher film with a sense of humor. Critics dismissed it in 1986, but Shout! Factory has given the film an excellent release.
