The Possessed is an exceptionally crafted film. It is an atmospheric masterpiece and one of the best films in Arrow’s fantastic lineup.
Phantom Lady is an enjoyable film noir featuring a strong performance by Ella Raines. Arrow Academy released the Universal Pictures film on Blu-ray.
The Prisoner is a well written and perfectly acted morality play with the great Alec Guinness in the lead role. The film was controversial upon its release. It holds up well.
Joseph H. Lewis directed this interesting film noir thriller that is very different from his other films. Arrow Academy has provided a great looking transfer provided by Sony.
The Big Clock is a fun thriller with an excellent sense for dialogue and humor. With both Ray Milland and Charles Laughton in top form, the film is a solid release by Arrow Academy.
Terror in a Texas Town is an enjoyable Western Drama from Dalton Trumbo and Joseph H. Lewis. I love watching Sterling Hayden on screen, and he is great here (even with a Swedish accent.)
The great James Cagney portrays silent film star Lon Chaney in this heartstring pulling docudrama.
Jim Jarmusch directed his most critically divisive film. While the merits of the film are debatable, the cinematography of Spain is incredible. Arrow Academy has given the film a beautiful release.
This Cornell Woolrich adaptation is a film noir with a good finale and a supporting role for Peter Lorre.
Kansas City is an underrated late career highlight from the incredible Robert Altman.
