The Other Side of Midnight – Blu-ray Review
Sidney Sheldon had a very diverse career as a screenwriter (he won an Oscar for his witty script for The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer in 1947), creator of several TV series (I Dream of Jeannie and Hart to Hart stand out as his most enduring creations) and popular novelist. It […]

A PEEK AT TIME AFTER TIME
Let me count the ways I love this movie. The script is absolutely wonderful. It was Nicholas Meyer’s first film as director and it shows – he’s awkward, frequently has no clue what to do with a shot or where to put the camera, the effects are cheesy as can […]

Criterion Press Release: Notorious (Blu-ray)
With this twisting love story, Alfred Hitchcock summoned darker shades of suspense and passion by casting two of Hollywood’s most beloved stars starkly against type. Ingrid Bergman stars as Alicia, an alluring woman of ill repute recruited by Devlin (Cary Grant), a suave but mysterious intelligence agent, to spy […]
The Spiral Staircase (1946) Blu-ray Review
One of the grand old dark house thrillers from Hollywood’s Golden Age, Robert Siodmak’s The Spiral Staircase holds up very well after decades in which films and filmmakers have begged, borrowed, and stolen from its story, its direction, and its production.
The Naked Prey – Criterion Blu-ray Review
After spending much of the 1940s and 1950s as a matinee idol, Cornel Wilde focused much of his attention behind the camera starting with Storm Fear in 1956. From there, he balanced duties as writer, actor, producer, and director, making appearances in both film and television as well. From his […]
A few words about…™ Looker — in Blu-ray
Author and screenwriter, Michael Crichton, directed several quality films during his tenure, but Looker isn’t one of them. It’s an interesting film, to be sure, but the acting, the cuts, the music, and other niceties never seem to come together as one might wish. That noted, and in typical fashion, […]
Step Brothers UHD Review
Sony has released Step Brothers on 4K UHD Blu-ray to commemorate its 10th anniversary, but more likely as a tie-in to the upcoming Holmes & Watson hitting theatres this Christmas.
A few words about…™ Step Brothers — in 4k UHD Blu-ray
I’d never seen Adam McKay’s Step Brothers. Never had the desire to do so. Even though Mr. McKay is obviously a talented filmmaker. But it arrives on 4k courtesy of Sony, and my son suggested that it’s such a totally awful film – a disaster – that I might just […]
Ant-Man and the Wasp UHD Review
Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, and Michael Douglas return in the sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, the latest film in the MCU.
A few words about…™ The Evil Dead — in 4k UHD Blu-ray
Back in 1981, Sam Raimi created a now iconic series, with his original Evil Dead. Shot on a tiny budget, on 16mm, it spawned a brace of kinsmen. It’s been seen on every possible home video platform, going back to the wax Edison cylinders, and has now, apparently as a […]
