#MailCall Two Jan 2026 @criterion.bsky.social new editions just arrived!

Out now is a 4K UHD edition of Jim Jarmusch’s DEAD MAN, which I’ve never seen.

Avail 1/27 is Reginald Hudlin’s comedy HOUSE PARTY, which I watched almost as much as CLASS ACT.

Excited for both. #CriterionCollection

Loads of great films got first-time or restoration releases this year. Here’s just a few of my favorites from 2025.

A few have full home reviews on the site, too.

In short, this is why I never understand when someone says it wasn’t a good year for movies. There’s always something great in there.

Some new arrivals. Two for fun, one for homework, and one that’s an upcoming home review.

Look for a review of @88films.bsky.social’s ROSA by the U.S. release date, 12/9.

Little dude had a rough last night that we thought was due to being scared by watching MINECRAFT before bed, but it turns out he has a low grade temp.

He’s had Motrin, icing w/ sprinkles off a donut, opened up a few gifts, & is joyfully playing with his brother.

May this be the energy of the day.🤞

I’ve been entrenched in FYC season for months now, but with so many digital titles offered, it rarely feels real. Now, it does.

Seen more of these titles than normal by now, but looking forward to catching up with the rest. 🤘 #NEON #FYC2025

It’s quite possible that I’ve listened to the soundtrack to this several times already in anticipation of this (re)watch.

Anyway, @arrowvideo.bsky.social’s 4K UHD restoration releases next Tuesday, 11/11, so expect my review by then. #ArrowVideo #TheMask
