Warner Archive has given Curtis Bernhardt’s 1945 film noir “Conflict” a Blu-ray release. Humphrey Bogart stars as a man who kills his wife to be with her sister.
“The Searchers” is essentially a perfect film, and Warner Archive’s 4K UHD is a perfect release. This 4K earns our highest recommendation.
“A Prairie Home Companion” is a faithful adaptation of the long running NPR radio show penned by Garrison Keillor. This was Robert Altman’s final film. Warner Archive has given it a proper Blu-ray release.
Warner Archive have given “The Return of Doctor X” an attractive Blu-ray release. This is a curio because it is the only science-fiction horror film to feature Humphrey Bogart.
Michael Curtiz’s “The Walking Dead” is an interesting combination of gangster/science fiction/ supernatural revenge genre films that showcases Boris Karloff. Warner Archive has meticulously restored the film.
Christopher Guest’s last collaboration with Eugene Levy “For Your Consideration” has been given a Blu-ray release by Warner Archive. Time has been kind to the film and it deserves reappraisal by fans of their earlier works.
“Journey Into Fear” is a somewhat less successful collaboration between Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles which has been beautifully restored by Warner Archive.
Warner Archive has given Francis Ford Coppola’s 1969 film “The Rain People” a Blu-ray release. The transfer looks great, and the acting is above reproach, but the film’s meandering script fails to reach the levels of artistry it aspires towards.
“Act of Violence” is a pretty good noir film that deals with some surprising post-war issues. Fred Zinnemann directs the great Robert Ryan, Van Heflin, Janet Leigh, and Mary Astor in the film which Warner Archive has given a Blu-ray release.
Warner has gone the extra mile to present “The Mask of Fu Manchu” in its original ludicrous and racially problematic grandeur. Boris Karloff and Mirna Loy shine in one of the most over-the-top pre-code pictures.
I had a great time revisiting “Money Talks.” The plot is absolutely absurd and almost a nonfactor, but the laughs are definitely there. Chris Tucker shines playing against Charlie Sheen’s straight man. Warner Archive has given the film a Blu-ray release.
