DVD Talk Collector Series One of the real finds on Blu-ray this year is The Disappearance (1977), a heretofore almost impossible to see Canadian-British co-production starring Donald Sutherland as an assassin-for-hire whose effectiveness is compromised when his wife inexplicably disappears. Despite handsome production values and a top-flight cast of Canadian and British actors, actor-turned …
DVD Talk Collector Series Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials and other sources, not the Blu-ray edition under review.

Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials and other sources, not the Blu-ray edition under review. I am not sure what is more disturbing: James Cagney’s performance as the sociopathic gangster Ralph Cotter in the 1950 film Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye or the fact that Phil Spector was allegedly watching the movie in his limo the night he shot …
Rent It Jean-Francois Laguionie’s The Painting (2011) is an animated oddity. Essentially, this fable aims to remind its audience that appearance shouldn’t matter, especially since we have no choice of lives before we’re created
Rent It The Movie: The latest film from the animated wing of 20th Century Fox is Epic , following in the wings of similarly one word-titled animated films full of adventure, wonder and bravado. But just how well this film measures to the recent crop of similar ones in the genre remained to be seen for me until I finally experienced the slightly hyperbolic Epic on Blu-ray. So time to crack open …
