The Penalty: Kino Classics Special Edition (Blu-ray)

Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials, not the Blu-ray edition under review. Legend has it that audiences in the early 1920s were so convinced by the double-amputee special effect in the Lon Chaney vehicle The Penalty that the studio started attaching a scene of the actor walking down some stairs to the tail end of prints so people …

Chernobyl Diaries (Blu-ray)

Skip It THE FILM: Chernobyl Diaries nails its dreary, post-nuclear meltdown Ukraine setting but not much else. This anemic horror film was written and produced by Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli, and provides little bloodletting, special effects or suspense. Several young friends join a burly local for an “Extreme Tour” of Prypiat, the stricken city next door to the Chernobyl Nuclear …

Body and Soul (Blu-ray)

DVD Talk Collector Series One of the all-time great boxing movies, Body and Soul (1947) instantly became the template even for the great ones that followed. Champion and The Set-Up (both 1949) told similar stories, while The Harder They Fall (1956), also excellent, is practically a remake of Body and Soul only told from the perspective of a cynical publicist rather than the fighter. Body and …

Stanley Kubrick's Fear and Desire (Blu-ray)

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 …

The Night Riders (Blu-ray)

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.

Cheeky (Blu-ray)

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?
