Comic duo Abbott and Costello become detectives, must contend with gangsters, femme fatales, and invisible boxers in Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man.  The comedy sequel comes to 4K UHD thanks to Kino Lorber.  The Film  I wish the promise of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein’s ending was fulfilled.  Vincent Price as the Invisible Man is just too delicious of a prospect.  

The original horror comedy Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein comes to 4K UHD thanks to Kino Lorber.  The Film There was a reason why Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein was a massive success and why Universal made three more films where the comedy duo face off against the Universal Monsters. More than just a flash in the pants, the film is armed with a clever conceit and plot; the film is fun, funny, and appropriately scary (for the under-8 set).

A family is torn apart in the Anniversary, the new thriller starring Diane Lane and Madeline Brewer. It should be said upfront, Anniversary, the new film from Polish Filmmaker Jan Komasa, is not for everyone. Komasa has made a film that slowly turns the noose around the shiny veneer of upper-middle-class existence and freedom until it’s left gasping for its final breaths.

Alan Delon plays an industrialist whose dark past comes to haunt his drug addicted son, who is on trial for the murder of a police officer in Boomerang.  New to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.  The Film Boomerang's theme is one of the oldest. You may be through with the past, but the past isn’t through with you…

Jean Paul Belmondo stars in the action-comedy Cop or Hood.  New to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.   The Film Jean Paul Belmondo, or as most of his fans know him, as simple Belmondo, was the oddest of French movie stars.  Belmondo was more of an American Star of the era.  Brash, charming, in violent action films with big stunts.  Though unlike American Stars of the era, unapologetically funny and goofy in some cases (see his masterful work in the genius…

The thrilling WW2 shark horror film Beast of War available on Digital thanks to Well Go USA!   Beast of War is the kind of B-Movie horror action film that’s clever, gory, and scary in all the right ways in a lean and mean 87-minute package.  Writer/Director Kiah Roache-Turner takes his talents from zombies (the Wyrmwood series) to killer spiders (

Football and Horror collide in the Jordan Peele-produced HIM, new to 4K UHD from Universal Home Entertainment. The Film HIM understands the game of football as much as it does the conventions of the kind of horror film it is mashing up with the sports film. Armed with an adroit script that understands pressures both on and off the field for both potential superstars and aging ones that will do anything to win.

Richard Stanley’s artsploitation horror film Dust Devil comes to 4K UHD fully restored and in its Director’s Cut form from Kino Lorber.  The Film Richard Stanley’s Dust Devil is the kind of horror film that you will either delight in or be frustrated by. More of a meditation on Apartheid South Africa than demonic serial killer film that it first appears to be.

The Jim Carrey smash hit VFX Comedy The Mask comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video.   The Film Of the three films that Jim Carrey starred in during his historic run in 1994, The Mask is not only the best of the three but also holds up to the test of time. The timeless quality gives the thirty-year-old film a still fresh quality.

Director Mark Lester and Screenwriter Larry Cohen team up for the psycho-sexual thriller The Ex.  New to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.  The Film The Ex, like its title character, was done dirty. The Larry Cohen-scripted, Mark Lester-directed sexual thriller deserved better than a DTV release. Like its title character, there is a smarter-than-average mean mean-spirited, truly devilishly wicked cult classic waiting to be discovered.

Third time’s the charm for Charles Bronson who goes sorched earth in Death Wish 3.  New to 4K UHD from Kino Lorber.  The Film There are so many questions one has when watching Death Wish 3. The biggest one is how someone convinced Jimmy Page (yes, that Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin) to come back as the composer after the cinematic war crime that was…

Sean Connery stars as a Space Sheriff taking on space drug dealers in Outland, new to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video.   The Film Well over four decades old, Outland, with its treatise on Corporate greed and worker subjugation, feels even fresher than when it was released in 1981. Writer/Director Peter Hyams wraps these themes in a delicious and purely cinematic visual action sci-fi package.

It’s Val Kilmer vs an AI Robot Dog on Mars in the 2000 sci-fi thriller The Red Planet, new to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video.   The Film On paper, Red Planet looks like a winner.  Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tom Sizemore, Benjamin Bratt, Simon Baker, and Terrence Stamp.  Science Fiction.  Mars.  Killer Robot Dog.  Aliens.  All wrapped up in a pulp post-Matrix package.  

The prequel to the 2003 hit remake Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video. The Film Prequels be prequeling. That’s the name of the game here. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning purposes you want to know about how Leatherface and family became who they became, the murderous family they are. The film is as narratively inert as any prequel that was made in that era.

Marcus Nispel’s 2003 remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video. The Film When I approach viewing any horror remake, I consider this: why remake it? After Gus Van Sant’s “Psycho” thing, I’ve had to ask myself this question, and especially half a decade later, when they decided to remake arguably one of the seminal horror films of the 1970s.

Dan Curtis’ Classic Monsters brings the Director/Writer/Producer’s adaptations of three classic monsters restored to Blu-ray, thanks to Kino Lorber. The Film Dracula It’s always interesting how someone chooses to adapt Bram Stoker’s often-told horror classic. Though the structure remains the same, you often find the nuances within that structure change significantly, giving you a varied result. Dan Curtis’s Dracula adaptation has interesting changes but allows for a truly wickedly fun performance by the vampy Jack Palance as the Count.
