“Virtuosity” is a delightfully over-the-top piece of Cyber Cinema from the Nineties. It’s almost as ambitious as it is ridiculous. Paramount has given the film a great looking release, but the lack of supplemental materials is a disappointment.
“Tales from the Hood” by writer/director Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott is a surprisingly insightful anthology film that examines urban horrors based in reality to great effect. The Shout! Factory Blu-ray comes recommended!
“Mission: Impossible” stands out in the series dues to the visionary direction by Brian De Palma. The 4K UHD presentation of the film uses HDR to the film’s benefit in its best presentation since its theatrical release.
Paramount Pictures have given “Mission: Impossible” a remastered Blu-ray that is a big improvement over the 2007 Blu-ray. Fans who lack a 4K player will want to consider a purchase.
“Day of the Beast” by Spanish filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia is a fantastic thriller and dark comedy revolving around madcap religious antics, fascism, and the Apocalypse. The Severin Films 4K UHD release is a wonderful way to view the film.
“Quick Change” is an enjoyable and lighthearted comedy starring Bill Murray, Geena Davis, and the great Jason Robards. Warner Archive have given the film a Blu-ray release.
“Perdita Durango” is one hell of a wild ride from Spanish filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia starring Rosie Perez, Javier Bardem, and James Gandolfini. Severin Films has given the film a true uncut release in UHD.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is an interesting story of murder, homosexuality, and eccentricity in Savannah, Georgia. The film adaptation can not match the book, but is still enjoyable overall.
With Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, New Line Cinema took over the Friday the 13th franchise. The results are pretty bizarre. The film was released with a new 2K scan in the deluxe box set from Shout! Factory.
Double Dragon is a train wreck, but it is also an incredibly entertaining relic from the Video Game adaptation boom of the Nineties. MVD Rewind has gone above and beyond to provide a definitive edition of the film.
