Carlito’s Way

“Carlito’s Way” is one of the best films from virtuoso filmmaker Brian De Palma. Pacino and Sean Penn are both fantastic in the film, and the final sequence is one of the best that De Palma put to celluloid. The Universal Pictures UHD is an excellent presentation of the film.

12 Monkeys

“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.

Scream

“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.

Cruel Jaws

“Cruel Jaws” is a jaw dropping work of boldfaced plagiarism. One of the most infamous and enjoyable “Jaws” ripoffs, it was actually released as “Jaws 5” in some territories. Severin Films released this cinematic gift on Blu-ray.

Deep Cover

“Deep Cover” is one of the most visually exciting and eccentric undercover cop films from the Nineties. Kudos to Criterion for releasing this wonderful film from director Bill Duke on Blu-ray from a stunning 4K transfer.
