Highly Recommended So, I’m looking down at the notes I jotted down while mainlining the fourth season of Archer on Blu-ray. Extended dog birthday flashback. Prehensile tail riff
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. “You are she who is not, I am he who is. ” If ever a film embodied a state of mind, it would be Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1983 release, Nostalghia .
Recommended You don’t have to be staring down retirement to enjoy Jon Turtletaub’s Last Vegas (2013), especially if you’re a fan of the talent involved. Its most notable strength is the participation of Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline as the center of its ensemble cast; though none of this quartet had ever worked with one another, they carry the weight of this …
Highly Recommended The Movie: Hail Mary is one of two films directed by Jean-Luc Godard that the Cohen Media Group is releasing in beautiful new Blu-ray editions (the other is For Ever Mozart ). Originally released in 1985, Hail Mary is considered part of Godard’s “second Golden Age,” where his experimentation and intellectualism managed to not alienate wider audiences and he managed to have …
Recommended Oh, the tortured life of Dragon Ball Z on home video.

Highly Recommended Director Richard Lester’s Royal Flash (1975) was a relatively late-comer to DVD, being released by Twentieth Century-Fox Home Entertainment in 2007, full of extra features and a fine video transfer, but all but dumped onto the marketplace with little-to-no fanfare.
Recommended North to Alaska (1960) is a big-scale but disappointing John Wayne Western-romantic comedy set in Nome at the turn of the century. It was produced in part to cash-in on Alaska’s recent statehood, but was mainly an attempt by powerful producer-talent agent Charles K. Feldman to provide his then-girlfriend, French model-turned-actress Capucine, with a career-boosting star vehicle …
Recommended The Movie: Written and directed by Paul Schrader, the 1982 remake of Jacques Tourner’s 1942 picture Cat People definitely takes things in its own direction, in fact there really aren’t a whole lot of similarities between the two outside of the basic concept. This more modern take introduces us to a beautiful young woman named Irene Gallier (Nastassia Kinski) whose adoptive parents …
