Highly Recommended A welcome if late-to-the-party addition to Olive Films’ constantly expanding, always intriguing list of Blu-ray releases licensed from Paramount and elsewhere, The Otto Preminger Collection isn’t quite what it sounds.
Recommended The Show: Kung Fu Panda Holiday has just been released on this Blu-Ray/DVD set, but it originally aired in 2010 on the NBC network (with its annoying onscreen logo and more than five minutes of commercials) so this would place it before the movie Kung Fu Panda 2 . The holiday in question here is not Christmas (despite a label on the outside of the package saying “New for Christmas …

Highly Recommended It seems fitting that Somerville House would be releasing Zorro on Blu-Ray shortly before Django Unchained revives that character for a new generation; the character of Zorro is sort of like the yin to Django’s yang. Where Django acts only selfishly, manipulating people for his own ends, Zorro acts selflessly, fighting for justice and the little guy. This 1975 film appears to …
