Warner has reprinted their 2009 VC-1 encoded Blu-ray release of “Sphere.” Barry Levinson’s adaptation of Michael Crichton’s 1987 novel is sadly underwhelming.
Based on the novel “No Beast So Fierce” by convict Edward Bunker, Straight Time is uniquely adept at interpreting the subject of imprisonment and recidivism in our country. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray features a beautiful transfer.
Featuring an intro from Peckinpah scholar Garner Simmons! –
Straw Dogs is one of Peckinpah’s most brutally effective and harrowing films. It’s a truly unforgettable film. The Criterion Collection release of the film is essential for fans of the film.
