Despite starring Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone at the peak of their powers in 1994 in Miami, “The Specialist” fails to generate any heat. Warner has reissued their 2011 Blu-ray.
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.
