Rent It Samuel Fuller’s 1969 film Shark (with the exclamation point on the end on the cover, but not in the actual film) is certainly a case of a movie being different from what one would be led to expect it as.
Recommended The Movie: Crashout , released in 1955, follows a group of six convicts (William Bendix, Arthur Kennedy, Luther Adler, Gene Evans, William Talman and Marshall Thompson) after they escape from prison in a big “crashout” with several others who didn’t make it out very far. The six lucky ones quickly find an old mine shaft where they hide out for a couple days and plan their next moves …
Recommended The Movie: From Ralph Bakshi, the man who brought Robert Crumb’s Fritz The Cat to animated form a year earlier, comes 1973’s bizarre counter culture animated feature, Heavy Traffic . Given that Fritz and its more explicit content became a huge box office hit when released, it probably won’t surprise too many to learn that Bakshi returns to that same adult landscape for this mix of …
Recommended “God, you’re a shit, you know that?” “Yes, and since you know it, what the hell are you doing here?” Gowan McGland (Tom Conti) is indeed a shit.
Highly Recommended At Long Last Love (1975), unavailable for decades and regarded as one of the great cinematic calamities of the ’70s is, at long last, out on Blu-ray and available for reassessment. Ultimately, the picture doesn’t quite gel like it should, but neither is it anywhere near as bad as its reputation would suggest
Recommended The Movie: The directorial debut of Eric Red (who also wrote), 1989’s Cohen And Tate begins at a farm, looking as serene and peaceful as you’d expect, except for the armed guards surrounding the house.
Highly Recommended The Movie: With the news of the day covering things like America’s security agencies monitoring their citizens’ phone calls and communications in various electronic forms, the Oscar-nominated Dror Moreh documentary The Gatekeepers couldn’t see a better time for a video release. Moreh interviewed the last six former directors of the Shin Bet, the principal security organization …
Highly Recommended THE FILM Please Note: The images used here are stills provided by Music Box Films and are not taken from the current Blu-ray edition under review. It’s always troubling to ponder, the way that the time, place, and culture in which one is born and raised can so easily slot you onto the wrong side of history. How sure can any of us be that we would’ve been in the tiny minority …
Skip It THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. Julianne Moore makes everything better, but what the hell is she doing in 6 Souls , a direct-to-video-quality horror flick filmed way back in 2010 but only seeing the light of day now? Previously known as Shelter and directed by M ns M rlind and Bj rn Stein, 6 Souls is a sloppy mix of hocus-pocus magic and …
