Tales from the Darkside: The Movie is an excellent anthology film. Shout! Factory has given the film a proper release. The supplemental features by Michael Felsher and Red Shirt productions are excellent and very in depth.
The ‘Burbs was released in 1989 to a harsh critical reception. Over time the film has become a true cult classic. The film is not just one of the best Joe Dante movies, it is one of the best comedies from the Eighties. The Shout!Factory Collector’s Edition is the best available version of the film.
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.
The third film by acclaimed anime filmmaker Satoshi Kon has finally been released on Blu-ray and it looks and sounds fantastic. All four of his films have now received stateside releases.
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.
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.
Someone to Watch Over Me is an enjoyable romantic thriller that is beautifully shot and well acted. The film’s story is a little thin, but it still works overall thanks to the great direction of Ridley Scott.
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.
Universal Horror Collection: Volume 4 features two non-horror entries by Boris Karloff, and two horror entries featuring Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi, and Rondo Hatton.
