Keyword View: homage DVD Review THE SEX THIEF (BLU-RAY)  Director Martin Campbell is best known for helming a couple of recent James Bond flicks, but this, his first feature film, is touted as being a great window into his future filmography. Read More... DVD Review TWO-LANE BLACKTOP (BLU-RAY)  Even if you're not a gearhead (and I most certainly am not) there's an undeniable sense of self-discovery and purpose in Two-Lane Blacktop, a stripped down, revved up love story about men, cars, women, life.
Read More...  Life without a car is murder … and nobody knows that better than Campbell Jackson, a 20-something, out-of-work, out-of-options misfit. Forced to take a dead-end job at a Detroit car wash, Campbell spies a dilapidated '70s van for sale and attempts to buy it. Little does he know, it's the Creep Van... Read More... DVD Review SUNSET BOULEVARD  An indelible piece of pop culture. The greatest movie ever made about movies. Maybe even the greatest movie ever made, full stop. On a sweet new Blu-ray. Read More... PR New Clip from The Incredible Mel Brooks: An Irresistible Collection Of Unhinged Comedy on DVD Nov 13  Features the Emmy-nominated Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett Together Again; vintage appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Dick Cavett Show; documentaries on the man and his work; The Critic, Brooks' inspired Academy Award-winning satirical animated short film; an homage to friend and mentor Sid Caesar; appearances on 60 Minutes and The American Comedy Awards; episodes from his TV series; a 60-page book with essays; and much more! Read More... PR Jess Franco's Female Vampire & Exorcism on Blu-ray Oct 16  For years, Jess Franco has been a favorite of Euro horror enthusiasts -- for the dreamlike tone of his films and the sheer audacity with which he indulges his morbid sexual curiosity. With the release of these Blu-ray editions, Kino Lorber brings Franco to a wider audience, and places him alongside Mario Bava and Jean Rollin in the pantheon of cult directors ripe for rediscovery. Read More... DVD Review THE LIVING DEAD GIRL (BLU-RAY)  Jean Rollin is held in high esteem by a lot of horror fans, but I've never found his films to excite me the way they do others. Redemption/Kino's Blu-Ray treatment of The Living Dead Girl sure looks great - and the women are attractive - but the film plods along slowly. Read More... PR The Incredible Mel Brooks: An Irresistible Collection Of Unhinged Comedy on DVD Nov 13  Features the Emmy-nominated Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett Together Again; vintage appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Dick Cavett Show; documentaries on the man and his work; The Critic, Brooks' inspired Academy Award-winning satirical animated short film; an homage to friend and mentor Sid Caesar; appearances on 60 Minutes and The American Comedy Awards; episodes from his TV series; a 60-page book with essays; and much more! Read More... DVD Review FIGHTVILLE (BLU-RAY)  I am far from a fan of Mixed Martial Arts, but I do love a good documentary film, regardless of the subject. Good word of mouth has me thinking that this flick could be just that. Read More... PR Steve Martin: The Television Stuff on DVD Sep 18  In the 1970s, Steve Martin exploded onto the national scene with a brand of comedy that was so anti-hip it was ueber hip. But before he turned into a movie star, he'd cemented his legend as a television star and stand-up comedian. Now, for the first time, Martin's long in-demand television specials and stand-up comedy performances -- along with a 24-page booklet and bonus features -- will have you laughing all over again! Read More... PR Ptown Diaries on DVD and Digital Jun 5  Contrary to the popular belief that the Pilgrims first landed in Plymouth in 1620, they in fact, initially arrived in Provincetown Harbor, Massachusetts. From the beginning Provincetown, commonly known as "PTOWN," has been recognized for its beaches, its art-inspiring beauty and its booming tourism industry. This premier vacation destination has especially attracted people of the LGBT community due to its openly gay-friendly environment. Read More... DVD Review LA JETÉE/SANS SOLEIL (BLU-RAY)  Chris Marker's 28-minute 1962 film La Jetée is the centerpiece of this Blu-Ray doublebill from Criterion, which also features his full-length 1983 film Sans Soleil. What makes this such an interesting release is the way these two very different films so perfectly intertwine - made over a period of decades - into a complex expression of time, memory and remembering. Read More... DVD Review GODZILLA (BLU-RAY)  Criterion pays long overdue scholarly homage to one of the classic monsters in all of cinema, and the inclusion of both the original 1954 Japanese film and the laughable 1956 American "reworking" only reinforces the fact that you have not seen Godzilla until you have seen Ishiro Honda's somber cautionary tale of H-bomb testing and the giant monster destruction it awakens.
Read More... DVD Review ASTRON-6 COLLECTION  I'll admit to never having heard of Astron-6 before receiving this new DVD collection, but, with Troma responsible for this release, I'm sure we're all in for plenty of fun, insane depravity. Read More... PR The Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan Show on DVD  Now fans can see The Rolling Stones as they've seldom seen them - young, edgy and electrifying - and on their way to conquering the world! This Deluxe 2 DVD Collector's Edition features ALL SIX Ed Sullivan Show episodes starring The Rolling Stones who perform 17 of their greatest hits. Also featured is a 24 page booklet featuring rare television production documents and photos of The Rolling Stones as well as a 1966 replica ticket for entry to The Ed Sullivan Show. This is the first time these full shows have ever been released. Also included in these full episodes are performances by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, The Muppets, Tom Jones and more. Read More... DVD Review INSIGNIFICANCE (Criterion Blu-ray)  It's always great to see a Nicolas Roeg film for the first time, but it's even better when it stars Theresa Russell and is contained on a Criterion Collection Blu-ray disc. Read More... DVD Review FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS  On the road again, with Johnny Depp channeling the psychopharmacological vibe of Hunter Thompson, and Benicio del Toro riding shotgun. Read More... PR Facets Video July Releases on DVD  Jill Godmilow's, The Popovich Brothers of South Chicago chronicles life in the Serbian community of Chicago, c. 1970s. The Cycle, Dariush Mehrjui's 1978 film that helped launch Iran’s New Wave. For something completely different, look for Invisible Adversaries, part of Facets’ Limited Edition Collection of avant-garde films, experimental features, and lost documentaries. In Invisible Adversaries, avant-garde filmmaker Valie Export offers a brash look at gender politics. Finally, dance to the beat of Brazilian music with two tuneful documentaries packaged into one DVD, Afro-Latino Music: Sons of Benkos and Hands of God. Read More... |
