“Jaws 3-D” was not exactly a critical darling, but fans of goofy 3-D action from the Eighties will find a lot to enjoy about it. The Universal Pictures Blu-ray delivers the film in 3-D we have wanted to watch properly since the Eighties.
Featuring an introduction by film scholar Troy Howarth! –
“The Bird with the Crystal Plumage” is one of Argento’s best films and one of the greatest giallo films ever made. The new 4K UHD release from Arrow looks fantastic.
“Day of the Animals” is an entertaining Natural Horror film from William Girdler. The best aspect is Leslie Nielsen playing against type as a sociopathic jerk. Severin Films has given the film a deluxe release.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the best Stephen King adaptations and one of Cronenberg’s better films. Shout! Factory has given the film the release it deserves and that fans have wanted.
“The Lawnmower Man” is probably the best known film from the brief boom of Cyber Cinema. Starring Jeff Fahey and Pierce Brosnan, it is a fun and fairly traditional science fiction film. The Shout! Factory Blu-ray is a definitive Collector’s Edition.
“Scanner Cop II” continues to develop the world of Scanner Cop Sam Staziak and introduces the villainous Volkin played by Patrick Kilpatrick. The 4K UHD from Vinegar Syndrome is impeccably done.
“Split Second” is a science-fiction action horror B-movie from the Nineties starring the great Rutger Hauer in one of his best roles. MVD Rewind has finally given fans a solid Blu-ray release.
“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.
“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.
