“Moneyball” is considered one of the best sports films ever made. It is also an amazing accomplishment in journalistic adaptation. Sony’s 4K release is solid, but HDR or Atmos would have been appreciated.
“Cutter’s Way” is a truly brilliant sun-baked noir with wonderful performances by John Heard and Jeff Bridges. The Radiance Films 4K edition ranks as one of the best releases of the year.
“One Battle After Another” is a triumph that meets the precarious political climate of our times head on while delivering an exceptional action experience. Warner’s 4K delivers exceptional video and audio.
“Nightcrawler” is one of the great Los Angeles films. Featuring an amazing performance by Jake Gyllenhaal, and great turns by Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, and Riz Ahmed, Dan Gilroy’s 2014 thriller earns our highest recommendation. Shout! Factory’s new 4K release is a must-buy!
Despite a good cast, good director, and great cinematography, “9 1/2 Weeks” can not overcome the unlikability of a key character that drains the film of its emotional core.
Philip Roth considered Larry Peerce’s adaptation of “Goodbye, Columbus” to be the best adaptation of his work. Fun City Editions has done a great job of bringing it to Blu-ray.
“Eyes Wide Shut” is a misunderstood masterpiece from visionary director Stanley Kubrick. I believe that Criterion Collection’s 4K release will lead to true reappraisal of one of Kubrick’s greatest achievements.
Eureka! Entertainment brings Joe Cheung’s “”Flaming Brothers” to Blu-ray. The film is notable to see screenwriters Wong Kar-Wai and Jeffrey Lau’s take on the heroic bloodshed genre with Chow Yun-Fat in a leading role.
