Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“Bringing Out the Dead” is a mesmerizing Martin Scorsese picture featuring great performances by Nicolas Cage, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore, and Patricia Arquette. The Paramount 4K is exceptional with a great transfer and Dolby Atmos audio alongside features by Reverend Entertainment.
“Training Day” is one of the best urban crime films thanks to excellent performances by Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke and an excellent soundtrack of Los Angeles rap. Warner Bros. have given the film a strong 4K transfer and excellent Atmos track.
Deep Rising is an adventure film that blends elements from The Poseidon Adventure, Under Siege, Alien, and John Carpenter films into one crazy B-movie starring Treat Williams and Famke Janssen. Kino Lorber has given the film a Collector’s Edition full of extras.
