Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“Kill Me Again” is the first of three well regarded neo-noir films written and directed by John Dahl. These films were part of the brief neo-noir renaissance of the Eighties and Nineties, and rank as some of the best examples of how to do that genre justice.
“A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy“ is a whimsical comedy by Woody Allen that benefits from Gordon Willis’s beautiful cinematography. MGM has given it a re-release on Bly-ray.
The 1992 adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic novel “Of Mice and Men” has been reprinted on Blu-ray by MGM Studios. It is one of the most faithful adaptations of a literary work we’ve seen.
MGM has given the final J.Lee Thompson/ Charles Bronson collaboration “Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects” a Blu-ray release. It’s a mess of a film that will mostly appeal to Bronson and Cannon Pictures completists.
Starring Denzel Washington, “The Mighty Quinn” is a breezy entertainment that benefits from the Caribbean locations. MGM Studios has given the 1989 film a Blu-ray release.
