Highly Recommended The Movie: Dial M For Murder was Alfred Hitchcock’s 39th film and based on a stage play by Frederick Knott. The story concerns Tony (Ray Milland) and his wife Margot (Grace Kelly). They live together in a London apartment (where most of the movie takes place) but the problem is that Margot has been having an affair with Mark (Robert Cummings) for quite some time.
Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials not the Blu-ray edition under review. The chance to peer at the building blocks of a master filmmaker’s career, particularly when it is a heretofore little seen debut film, should generate much interest and even celebration, but at the same time, it’s best to temper one’s excitement and manage …
Skip It The Courier is a tired thriller, filled with tired actors playing tired characters, wrapped up in a tired story. There is exactly one scene in the movie where anyone looks like they’re making an effort, and it’s the only scene in the movie that’s memorable or interesting

Recommended The Movie: Jane Fonda playing a grandmother? Having watched mostly her older films like Barbarella and Fun With Dick & Jane in recent years, it’s a bit of a shock to see her as an “old person” in Peace, Love and Misunderstanding

Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: There may not be an active filmmaker whose work is so immediately recognizable as Wes Anderson’s. You can walk into a room or switch over in the middle of one of his films and place it within seconds: the intricate production design, the symmetrical compositions, and the elegant tracking shots, lovingly panning from room and room and tableaux to tableaux.
Highly Recommended The third of four “Three Mesquiteers” Westerns released to Blu-ray by Olive Films, and the fifth of eight such films co-starring John Wayne, The Night Riders (1939) is extremely entertaining, though entirely in the B-Western sense.
Recommended The Movie: Confusing part out of the way first: although this movie has been titled Cheeky! on the covers of this and previous video releases, the official title that appears onscreen is Transgressing , which is the English-dubbed version of the Italian film Transgredire . With me so far?
Highly Recommended The second of four “Three Mesquiteers” Westerns being released to Blu-ray and co-starring John Wayne, Red River Range (1938) is no Red River (1948), but on its own terms is outlandish and amusing, if juvenile. As with Overland Stage Raiders the main draw is the revelatory high-def transfer, which might seem fairly ordinary to the casual viewer but is certain to astound long …
