“Deep Cover” is one of the most visually exciting and eccentric undercover cop films from the Nineties. Kudos to Criterion for releasing this wonderful film from director Bill Duke on Blu-ray from a stunning 4K transfer.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the best Stephen King adaptations and one of Cronenberg’s better films. Shout! Factory has given the film the release it deserves and that fans have wanted.
Art School Confidential is an interesting film by Terry Zwigoff that captured elements of the college experience in the early 2000s well. MVD gave the film a Blu-ray release.
Starring Robert Young, “They Won’t Believe Me” is an unforgiving and unsentimental film noir about a philandering stock broker and his disastrous love affairs. WB Archive has given the film a great looking release.
“Crimson Peak” is one of the best works of modern Gothic filmmaking thanks to Guillermo del Toro’s incredible eye for detail and taste for invention. Arrow Video’s limited edition Blu-ray is the definitive edition until we get a 4K UHD.
“Judas and the Black Messiah” is an excellent historical drama based on the sad but true story of Fred Hampton and his betrayal by William O’ Neal. Warner Bros. have brought the film to Blu-ray.
“The Stunt Man” is a well loved film from 1980 by director Richard Rush. Starring Peter O’Toole in one of his best performances alongside Steve Railsback and Barbara Hershey, it still holds up as a surreal and satirical comedy about filmmaking. Severin gave the film a release in 2011.
“Black Widow” is a tightly constructed and well paced film noir shot in CinemaScope. Twilight Time gave the film a release.
“Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” is still the best film from 2019. It isn’t even close. We revisited the film after reading “Helter Skelter.”
Louis Malle’s sweet natured crime drama Atlantic City, starring Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, is celebrating forty years. Paramount Pictures have given the film a Blu-ray release.
Featuring an introduction with film scholar Garner Simmons –
