“Eraser” came out at the peak of Arnold’s powers, when Planet Hollywood was doing big business. Chuck Russell’s 1996 action film has been given a wonderful 4K presentation.
You need to exercise your right as a consumer and pick up Arrow Video’s incredible 4K UHD of Joel Schumacher’s “Falling Down,”one of the most original films of the Nineties in a definitive edition.
Despite a good cast, good director, and great cinematography, “9 1/2 Weeks” can not overcome the unlikability of a key character that drains the film of its emotional core.
Arrow Video has started 2026 out with a bang. “Under Siege,” starring Steven Seagal, has been given a true facelift that will make fans (like myself) want to leap for joy. Andrew Davis’s classic action film has received the royal treatment.
“Eyes Wide Shut” is a misunderstood masterpiece from visionary director Stanley Kubrick. I believe that Criterion Collection’s 4K release will lead to true reappraisal of one of Kubrick’s greatest achievements.
“A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master” was the most successful Elm Street film until “Freddy vs. Jason.” While the script is weaker than the prior film, the direction by Renny Harlin works. The picture is style over substance, but has plenty of nostalgic charm.
“A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge” is one of the most reviled (and most beloved) horror sequels ever made. Warner has given the film an excellent 4K release in their 4K “A Nightmare on Elm Street” collection.
Warner Archive has given the 2005 romantic-comedy “Just Friends” a Blu-ray release. The film is much funnier than I remembered it being twenty years ago, with solid turns from Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, Chris Klein, and Amy Smart.
”The Little Drummer Girl” had all the makings of a classic, but the casting of Diane Keaton in the lead role as an actress turned spy disrupted the better elements of the film. Warner Archive has given the picture a Blu-ray release.
