Paramount Pictures have given “Mission: Impossible” a remastered Blu-ray that is a big improvement over the 2007 Blu-ray. Fans who lack a 4K player will want to consider a purchase.
“Dark of the Sun” is an absolute blast of a war based adventure film. Rod Taylor and Jim Brown lead a cast that will please fans of “The Dirty Dozen.” The Warner Archive release is well worth picking up.
“The Man From Hong Kong” is an extremely enjoyable Seventies martial arts B-movie from Ozploitation auteur Brian Trenchard-Smith. Twilight Time has brought over the film and some special features from the Umbrella Entertainment release.

“Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia” is one of Sam Peckinpah’s most distinct and best films. Kino Lorber have given the film a new release sourced from a 2017 4K scan from MGM.
Beat the Devil – starring a cavalcade of stars (Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Gina Lollobrigida) – has been rescued from public domain hell by Twilight Time with a definitive 4K scan.
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan was the final film of the Paramount era. It has moments of greatness, and a unique visual style, but the finale is totally nonsensical. Shout! Factory has released the film in their deluxe box set!
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes is a cleverly written and well directed film from the great Billy Wilder. It ranks as one of the best Sherlock Holmes films. Kino Lorber brought the film to Blu-ray in 2014.
Horror Express is a great over-the-top film from yesteryear starring some of the greatest icons of Hammer Studios and Telly Savalas. The Arrow Video Blu-ray is a huge improvement over the older public domain versions.
Arrow Video’s presentation of The Last Starfighter is extremely well done. This family friendly science fiction film has remained a fan favorite since 1984.
