The Ballad of Cable Hogue finds Sam Peckinpah in a light hearted mood. Jason Robards gives a great performance. Warner Archive gave the film a good release on Blu-ray.
In the Mouth of Madness is a great later entry in John Carpenter’s filmography. One of my favorite Carpenter films, Shout!Factory has given it a great transfer from a 4K scan.
