Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“The Last Boy Scout” is one of the most enjoyable buddy cop films of the Nineties. Tony Scott’s beautifully shot action film has received a wonderful 4K release by Arrow Video that easily earns our highest recommendation. They simply do not make them like this anymore.
You need to exercise your right as a consumer and pick up Arrow Video’s incredible 4K UHD of Joel Schumacher’s “Falling Down,”one of the most original films of the Nineties in a definitive edition.
Arrow Video has started 2026 out with a bang. “Under Siege,” starring Steven Seagal, has been given a true facelift that will make fans (like myself) want to leap for joy. Andrew Davis’s classic action film has received the royal treatment.
Anthony Mann’s Western “The Tin Star” starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins has been given a fantastic release by Arrow Video. VistaVision cinematography looks amazing on the Blu-ray format.
“Nightmare at Noon” is a fun – if flawed – action film from Nico Mastorakis. Fans of the film will be happy to see that Arrow has improved the video and audio for this release.
Arrow Video has given Western territories a chance to check out Johnnie To’s “Running Out of Time” series of films. The release comes with both films and numerous supplements. Both films look nice on Blu-ray.
“Wild Things” was one of the last erotic thrillers to see large scale success at the box office. With a strong neo-noir story and sly sense of humor, it has aged well. The Arrow Video 4K UHD is gorgeous.
Arrow Video has updated the classic “An American Werewolf in London” to 4K UHD. One of the best horror films of all time is now available in a truly definitive edition that keeps the excellent supplements from the 2019 release and updates the video to its best presentation yet.
Arrow Video has brought Shinji Somai’s genrebending yakuza/coming-of-age/idol film/dramedy “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun” to Blu-ray. The long-take sequences are truly impressive, and the film is strangely hypnotic.
“Mill of the Stone Women” is a beautifully filmed Italian Gothic film from the early Sixties. Arrow Video have given the film a deluxe release featuring four cuts of the film.
“Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge” is a fun and completely ridiculous film from the Eighties. If you can turn your brain off completely, there is a lot to enjoy about the film.
“Death Screams” is a slasher from 1982 directed by David Nelson starring Susan Kiger and Jennifer Chase. Arrow Video have given the film a fan pleasing Blu-ray release.
