Radiance Films has given the brilliantly realized sun-drenched noir “The Hot Spot” a definitive 4K UHD upgrade. This is easily one of our favorite releases of the year. Dennis Hopper’s critically misunderstood film deserves to be rediscovered.
“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.
