Blood Tide is a C-Grade film with an A-Grade cast and some beautiful Mediterranean scenery. Fans of Nico Mastorakis will want to check it out, because Arrow’s new transfer looks great.
Someone to Watch Over Me is an enjoyable romantic thriller that is beautifully shot and well acted. The film’s story is a little thin, but it still works overall thanks to the great direction of Ridley Scott.
Warning Sign is an enjoyable science fiction film involving a pathogen outbreak. The film benefits from good casting and cinematography by Dean Cundey.
8 Million Ways to Die is an interesting failure. There is a good film inside of what is presented, but Hal Ashby never got the chance he deserved to cut the film his way. I am really thankful that Kino Lorber has given the film a chance to find an audience on Blu-ray.
Melvin and Howard is a tender and affectionate story from the late great Jonathan Demme. One of our favorite releases from Twilight Time.
The Fog is one of the best loved films by John Carpenter. Carpenter takes a shaky premise and makes an absolute classic through well-crafted visual storytelling.
Prince of Darkness has some good material in it, but it is one of Carpenter’s lesser efforts overall. The collector’s edition by Shout!Factory features good technical specs and excellent supplemental materials.
The Thing is one of my favorite horror films of all time. It is debatably the best film by legendary director John Carpenter. Shout!Factory’s release of the film provides an incredible amount of supplemental material and a strong visual presentation.
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.
Christine is not my favorite John Carpenter film, but it is still a fun Stephen King adaptation with a killer score.
