(John Philip Sousa’s) Stars and Stripes Forever (Blu-ray)

Recommended A Blu-ray release of Stars and Stripes Forever (1952), a biopic of composer/band leader John Philip Sousa (1854-1932), is welcome if somewhat baffling. Though popular when it was new, it would seem an awfully hard sell in 2012 – perhaps distributor Fox is betting consumers will confuse it with Warner Home Video’s The Music Man (1962). Usually deep catalog titles like this are tied to …

Lips of Blood (Blu-ray)

Highly Recommended The Movie: One of Jean Rollin’s more interesting films, 1975s Levres De Sang (better known in North America as Lips Of Blood , which is how it was released on DVD a few years back from Image/Redemption and how it’s being re-released again through Redemption and Kino with this Blu-ray debut!) begins with the simple image of a van heading through the night towards an eerie old …

Archer: Season 2 (Blu-ray)

Highly Recommended There’s…I don’t know, there’s a word I’m looking for here — one word that tells you everything you need to know about the second season of Archer without having to slog through a whole long, rambling review. I think it goes something like: You were supposed to click the ‘Play’ button on that, by the way

Blackthorn (Blu-ray)

Recommended THE MOVIE: On the way out of my first viewing of Mateo Gil’s Blackthorn , I overheard someone calling it a “standard Western”–as if that would be a bad thing, if there were any such thing anymore. Making a Western these days is anything but standard; they’re enough of a novelty that it’s still worth being thankful when we get one, and not dismissing it for being less than a …

Gia (Blu-ray)

Skip It THE FILM: Please Note: The images used here are promotional stills and are not taken from the Blu-ray edition under review. Considered solely as a career-launching vehicle, one can understand the appeal of Michael Cristofer’s 1998 made-for-HBO movie, Gia , a biopic recounting the tragic life and untimely death of Gia Carangi, America’s first “supermodel,” who died of AIDS in 1986, when …

Going Places (Blu-ray)

Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The images used here are promotional stills provided by Kino Lorber and from other sources, and are not taken from the Blu-ray edition under review. Jean-Claude (Gerard Depardieu, young and Byronesquely sexy like he was in Ma tresse ) and Pierrot (Patrick Dewaere) are very, very naughty boys. One would not put it so innocuously (the two are overgrown …

The Cannonball Run (Blu-ray)

Skip It The Movie: Hollywood will occasionally tend to have a moment of odd convergence when all of the stars of a particular era will get together for one film that is implausibly premised, but the production serves as more of an excuse for the cast to get together and drink and cavort until the wee hours of the morning.
