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.
“Queen of Outer Space” is a science fiction film from the Fifties that makes hilariously inaccurate scientific claims whenever possible. The film featured Zsa Zsa Gabor. Warner Archive released the film.
The classic gangster film “Angels with Dirty Faces” – starring James Cagney, Pat O’Brien, Humphrey Bogart, and Ann Sheridan – has been given a beautiful release from Warner Archive.
Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins wrote the murder-mystery “The Last of Sheila.” It has a star studded cast that includes James Coburn, James Mason, and Ian McShane. Warner Archive has given it a Blu-ray release.
Based on the novel “No Beast So Fierce” by convict Edward Bunker, Straight Time is uniquely adept at interpreting the subject of imprisonment and recidivism in our country. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray features a beautiful transfer.
“Night Shift” is a genuinely funny and charming comedy from the Eighties. It features strong performances by Henry Winkler and Shelley Long, but Michael Keaton steals the film in his debut role. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray is not to be missed!
