Paramount Pictures has given the 1997 thriller “Kiss the Girls” a 4K UHD release. Morgan Freeman stars as Dr. Alex Cross from James Patterson’s bestselling novels.
“Cutter’s Way” is a low-key masterpiece of the sundrenched noir genre. The film stars Jeff Bridges and John Heard in an unforgettable performance. The Fun City Edition Blu-ray earns our highest recommendation.
John Huston’s “The Maltese Falcon” is a flawless adaptation of the novel by Dashiell Hammett featuring Humphrey Bogart in one of his most iconic performances as Sam Spade.
“Bullet Train” is an over-the-top R-rated action comedy starring Brad Pitt. Directed by David Leitch, the film is a great escape from the humdrum releases of 2022.
“The Batman” is the best Batman film since “The Dark Knight.” Matt Reeves’s vision of Gotham is one of the most compelling yet. The Warner Bros. 4K UHD is one of the most impressive releases this year on the format.
“Wild Things” was one of the last erotic thrillers to see large scale success at the box office. With a strong neo-noir story and sly sense of humor, it has aged well. The Arrow Video 4K UHD is gorgeous.
“Vanilla Sky” is one of the most interesting films in both Cameron Crowe’s and Tom Cruise’s filmographies. It is a truly unique film experience and the Paramount Presents Blu-ray is gorgeous.
“12 Monkeys” is one of the best science fiction films of the Nineties. Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis are both wonderful in the film, and Terry Gilliam directs the film beautifully. The Arrow Video Blu-ray (or Steelbook) earns our highest recommendation.
“An Angel for Satan” stars the enigmatic Barbara Steele in her final Italian Gothic performance. The film is beautifully lensed and atmospheric. Severin Films have restored the picture with great attention to detail.
“Scream” was a generation defining horror film when it was released in 1996. Wes Craven reminded everyone that he was a master at generating suspense. The script by Kevin Williamson still feels fresh twenty five years later. The new Paramount 4K UHD is a big improvement over all prior releases.
