1917 is an extraordinary achievement in the art of cinematography and one of the best films of 2019. The 4K UHD disc ranks as one of the best releases of 2020.
None but the Brave is an interesting film because of its even handling of both sides of the conflict. It is also notable as Sinatra’s first directorial effort. It has a lot of failings but a strong finale.
Terror in a Texas Town is an enjoyable Western Drama from Dalton Trumbo and Joseph H. Lewis. I love watching Sterling Hayden on screen, and he is great here (even with a Swedish accent.)
Behold a Pale Horse is an excellent drama that takes place just after the Spanish Civil War. Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, and Anthony Quinn all turn in fantastic performances.
Uncut Gems is the most intense and energetic drama of 2019. Adam Sandler gives one of the best performances of the year.
Vice Squad is a gritty piece of filmmaking from the Eighties with a standout performance by Wings Hauser.
With his second film, director Takeshi Kitano makes an incredibly offbeat and strange Yakuza film. Film Movement have given the film a solid release on Blu-ray.
Violent Cop is the first film directed by Takeshi Kitano. Film Movement have given it a good looking and sounding release.
