Shampoo is an off-beat comedy-drama that is as likely to have fans as detractors. I personally am a fan. The Criterion Collection Blu-ray features solid technical specs.
Melvin and Howard is a tender and affectionate story from the late great Jonathan Demme. One of our favorite releases from Twilight Time.
Memoirs of an Invisible Man is an entertaining but somewhat forgettable film that finds John Carpenter and Chevy Chase playing against type to mixed results.
Sixteen Candles was the first film that John Hughes directed. With an excellent cast and soundtrack, it has become a classic of the coming-of-age genre. Arrow Video have given it a fantastic release.
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.
