Hit Man

Years before he would direct “Miami Blues,” George Armitage wrote and directed the “Get Carter” adaptation “Hit Man.” Starring Bernie Casey and Pam Grier, it is one of the most enjoyable Blaxploitation films. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray release comes highly recommended!

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines

“Pet Sematary: Bloodlines” is a prequel to Stephen King’s horror classic. Despite some good ideas, the film fails to generate tension or craft compelling characters. Paramount has given the film a good 4K UHD presentation.

Escape from L.A. – Collector’s Edition

Escape from L.A. receives a Collector’s Edition from a new 4K scan from Shout!Factory. The film has its fans and detractors, but the film succeeds in providing good replay value for fans and a great cameo from Bruce Campbell.

Ghosts of Mars

Ghosts of Mars is definitely not one of my favorite efforts from the great John Carpenter, but it was the last film he directed that still felt like a John Carpenter film. Mill Creek have provided a good value with strong visual and audio components on the disc.

Bones

Bones is not extremely cohesive as a film, but it is still entertaining. Shout!Factory has provided a wealth of great supplements from Red Shirt Pictures and a great looking transfer from a new 4K scan of the original film elements.
