Piranha is the Roger Corman produced horror-comedy that put director Joe Dante on the map. It still stands on its own merits as a horror film that revels in its absurd premise.
Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion is an early thriller by director Umberto Lenzi. The Arrow release features good specs and very good special features.
Michael Cimino’s excellent war time classic The Deer Hunter remains a divisive and wonderful work of fiction. Shout!Factory has given the film a new UHD release that should be bought by fans immediately.
Cleopatra Jones is essentially a female-driven Blaxploitation answer to James Bond. It features a fantastically funny performance by Shelley Winters as “Mommy.”
The Street Fighter Collection is fantastic. Fans of Sonny Chiba or martial arts films from the Seventies owe it to themselves to own a copy.
The Big Fix is a bittersweet detective film with some comedic elements. The film was misunderstood upon its release, but it deserves to be rediscovered.
The Hot Rock is an enjoyable caper film with engaging performances by both Robert Redford and George Segal. Twilight Time have an immaculate transfer for the release.
Shampoo is an off-beat comedy-drama that is as likely to have fans as detractors. I personally am a fan. The Criterion Collection Blu-ray features solid technical specs.
The Last Detail is a seminal film from the Seventies and one of the best films of Hal Ashby’s brief but brilliant career.
Zombie is one of the best known and best loved horror films of all time. It is notorious for a reason and squeamish viewers should avoid at at all costs. Lucio Fulci’s seminal video nasty has been given a great new release from a 4K scan.
Assault on Precinct 13 finds John Carpenter crafting his trademark style with his sophomore feature. Shout!Factory has released the film with some great supplements and a sharp transfer.
From Beyond the Grave is an enjoyable anthology film from Amicus Studios that features the great Peter Cushing.
