Warner Archive’s release of the TV Movie “Last Stand at Saber River” is notable for its strong cast – Tom Selleck, David and Keith Carradine – and its Elmore Leonard source novel.
Despite a solid premise, “Amos & Andrew” doesn’t quite develop into the clever satire it could have been. MGM has given the film a Blu-ray re-release.
With a quarter century in the rear view mirror, “Can’t Hardly Wait” has aged really well as a Nineties take on a John Hughes party film. The Sony 4K is really well done with a new Atmos track.
Legends of the Fall was too heartfelt and emotional for the critics of its time, but audiences responded to the film then and now. Based on the novella by acclaimed author Jim Harrison, Edward Zwick’s film realizes the full potential of the text. Sony’s UHD is gorgeous.
“Eric Clapton: Standing at the Crossroads” is a fairly weak documentary on the guitar legend.
Chris Smith’s classic documentary “American Movie” follows best friends Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank on their quest to complete a short film without the benefit of funding or time. Sony’s 4K UHD is the final word on this great film.
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.
“Bringing Out the Dead” is a mesmerizing Martin Scorsese picture featuring great performances by Nicolas Cage, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore, and Patricia Arquette. The Paramount 4K is exceptional with a great transfer and Dolby Atmos audio alongside features by Reverend Entertainment.
Sony Pictures has given the Chris Farley vehicle “Beverly Hills Ninja” a strong Blu-ray presentation that should please fans of what is arguably Farley’s weakest film.
“City of Hope” is one of writer-director John Sayles’ most ambitious films. It benefits from excellent cinematography by Robert Richardson and a strong ensemble cast. Sony has given the film a Blu-ray release.
