twilight time

One of the many joys with each Twilight Time release is reading the thoughtful, brilliant, and insightful essays of Julie Kirgo. What a pleasure to not only have a great film in pristine condition, but to read a great critic's thoughts. Kudos to Twilight Time for continuing to be one of the best.

Two very serious dramas by two fine filmmakers, released just three years apart, the overall tone of which are very different. I've always seen Oliver Stone's Salvador as almost a buddy picture, that just happens to take place in a very serious place during a very unfortunate time in its...

<p>While I've been a fan of Sam Peckinpah's work since I first discovered him for his work in Ride the High Country, a 1962 western that I love.</p><p>Certainly an auteur, his output is less than one might imagine, running from 1962 through 1983, with The Osterman Weekend. &nbsp;Most of those...

Mr. Stone's initial directorial effort, Salvador is the antithesis of the types of propaganda that might be turned out by a nation's tourist board. Following the exploits of a pair of American journalists, this is not what one would view for a date movie or going out for a fun evening. The...

Well, well, well. Last night I watched The Blob – not the 1958 The Blob that we all know and love, no, the remake from 1988, which I’d never seen. After reading on another board of a transfer that barely looks better than VHS, of extreme grain, of barely better than DVD, and even a review that...

<strong class='bbc'>Under Fire Blu-ray Review</strong><p>There is a tangible “you are there” quality to Roger Spottiswoode’s brilliant <em class='bbc'>Under Fire</em>: whether one is lounging in a hotel by the pool or standing in the middle of a Nicaraguan street in the middle of short burst of...

<strong class='bbc'>The Believers Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Oscar-winning director John Schlesinger made a spine-tingling thriller with <em class='bbc'>Marathon Man</em>, but luck wasn’t in his corner for a later film <em class='bbc'>The Believers</em>. Despite an excellent cast of actors and...

<strong class='bbc'>The Vanishing (1993) Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Though it’s not completely unheard of, film directors rarely get to remake their own works (why would most of them want to unless their initial experience was unsatisfying, and if that’s so, why put yourself in potential harm’s...

Audrey Rose Blu-ray Review After the astonishing blockbuster success of The Exorcist, all of the Hollywood studios (and many production companies away from Hollywood) tripped over themselves producing fright films about demonic possession, Satanism, the occult, and any number of other entries...

I've seen shockingly little about this release and that's a shame. Many cineastes will tell you that Man Hunt is second-tier Fritz Lang, to which I say hogwash. Man Hunt is a terrific film and classic Lang. Wonderful cast (especially George Sanders), terrific screenplay by Dudley Nichols and...

Not reading any comments about this release, which deserves them. Matt wrote a review here, but it's in the review section with no responses. I'd never seen The Dogs of War before watching the new Twilight Time Blu-ray. I was ready to hate it because I thought it would just be another war...

Coming in January per Nick Redman on the latest KillerPOV podcast... http://geeknation.com/podcasts/killer-pov-ep-77-its-twilight-time/ Nick also confimed John Boorman's Zardoz (tentative for February) and Nicholas Roeg's Eureka (no dates that I heard)

<strong class='bbc'>La Bamba Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Everyone knows that rock 'n' roll stars Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly (along with "The Big Bopper," J.P. Richardson) died in an airplane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa on February 3, 1959. Their paths to fame were sufficiently different that...

As of 10 hours ago, Twilight Time has limited purchases of The Blob (1988) to one per person (down from 3), per TT's Facebook page. Looks like they are going like hotcakes and they expect a sellout soon. And that's with 5000 copies. Glad I got mine.

<strong class='bbc'>The Killer Elite Blu-ray Review</strong><p>With two first-rate stars and a top-notch supporting cast, a notable director, and a screenwriter of some renown, one’s expectations for <em class='bbc'>The Killer Elite</em> prove to be far greater than the movie that was produced...

<strong class='bbc'>Salvador Blu-ray Review</strong><p>1986 was a watershed year for filmmaker Oliver Stone. While already an Oscar-winning screenwriter, he made his first big directorial splashes with two projects released during this year: <em class='bbc'>Platoon</em> (which won him the Best...

<strong class='bbc'>Che&#33; Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Not to be confused with director Steven Soderbergh's four-hour epic 2008 look at the Cuban freedom fighter, Richard Fleischer's 1969 <em class='bbc'>Che!</em> is a horse of a completely different color. A highlights docudrama of Che Guevara...

<strong class='bbc'>The Dogs of War Blu-ray Review</strong><p>A slightly above average mercenary caper film based on an international best seller, John Irvin’s <em class='bbc'>The Dogs of War</em> seems very old school when compared to the bombastic action films of today (<em class='bbc'>The...

Surprised that there is not a thread nor a review for this film. So, let me be the first. I'd somehow never seen Follow that Dream, so it was a complete discovery for me and a very pleasant one. I really don't care for most of the Elvis movies, but this one is an utter charmer, almost like a...

<strong class='bbc'>Riff-Raff/Raining Stones Blu-ray Review</strong><p>It is fitting that I am writing this review on Labor Day, because the plight of the working poor is a theme which runs through many of British director Ken Loach's films. Such is the case with this, the first Blu-ray double...

The incomparable George Cukor's 1950 Born Yesterday, is so fresh today that it could probably stand a re-issue. While we won't be lucky enough to have that, outside of an occasional high-end film festival, we can relish the new Blu-ray which has been presented to us by Columbia / Sony via...
