I'm one of those people who feel that Funny Girl is one...
<strong class='bbc'>The Fortune Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Mike Nichols' 1975 comedy <em class='bbc'>The Fortune</em> was greeted with widely divergent opinions from film critics. So divergent, in fact, that two critics for The New York Times, John Simon and Vincent Canby, had widely disparate...

<strong class='bbc'>Bunny Lake is Missing Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Otto Preminger's <em class='bbc'>Bunny Lake is Missing</em> is a compelling psychological thriller which comes to Blu-ray from Twilight Time with an outstanding black & white transfer courtesy of Sony. This 1965 film...
Otto Preminger's 1965 Bunny Lake is Missing is an odd film, and not a great one, by any means.
It does, however, have its moments -- and an incredible supporting cast to leads Carol Lynley and Keir Dullea. To me, it's all about the supporting players.
Laurence Olivier, Noel Coward and Martita...

Criterion did such a fantastic job with the first two films in the Glenn Ford-Delmer Daves trilogy (Jubal and 3:10 to Yuma) that I would love to see the final film, Cowboy, released. While I would love to see Criterion release it, Twilight Time would make an acceptable runner-up. Does anyone...

The incomparable George Cukor's 1950 Born Yesterday, is so fresh today that it could probably stand a re-issue.
