Sure Malibu High is the typical silly 1970s sex comedy and on that level, it might be worthwhile watching amongst friends to mock, but outside of that, not sure there’s really any reason unless that era, and ultra low budget films, fascinates you.
Although The Stone Killer is probably the lesser of Charles Bronson’s films, it’s still is a lot of fun and being obscure enough, doubtful very many have seen it, so with this Twilight Time release, hopefully it’ll get more play in the future.
Logan is one hell of a film, a modern day western with tortured soul of a character who happens to have claws. Hugh Jackman once again gives it his all and thankfully this time around, the writing was far superior over the previous solo films.
Fist Fight is exactly what I was expecting: Charlie Day’s talents being underutilized, Ice Cube scowling most of the time, jokes falling completely flat and a story being stretched even with its short 85-minute running time.
The Shack admittedly isn’t my kind of movie but it’s perfectly safe and does have a positive message while not getting overly preachy compared with other religious movies that have inundated cinema in the last few years.
The Space Between Us of course isn’t good and clearly aimed at the tween crowd; the plot isn’t as cool as it might sound and it’s utterly predictable, but if there’s any saving grace, it’s with the cast, namely Gary Oldman and Carla Gugino.
Vixen: The Movie merely compiles all the 5-minute episodes into one feature and on the whole it’s not very cohesive even though the character had potential even if she’s a bit of a copy of Marvel’s Black Panther.
Inferno is a cheesy but fun suspense yarn from the 1950s utilizing fantastic 3D technology and, at least what I’ve received, the first 3D title released by Twilight Time which offers a solid video and audio transfers but a bit limited in the features department.
Who’ll Stop the Rain is based on the novel “Dog Soldiers”, I assume this was titled for the 1970 hit song, but whatever the case, it’s a well made, barely-known, thriller.
The Accidental Tourist is an interesting little drama that excels with its performances, particularly that of William Hurt and Geena Davis (who took home an Academy Award), more so than the story.
Seven Days in May certainly seems to be a prescient film given today’s climate and the movie itself is a showcase of some solid performances by prominent actors of that era, namely Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.
The Climber was an interesting little Italian flick and features a fun performance by lead Joe Dallesandro and although I wasn’t fully involved with the crime-thriller centric story, no doubt any fan of Italian cinema might find it at least interesting.
Oklahoma is a nice addition to Shout’s new “Broadway” line and being, from what I could tell, being out-of-print on DVD, it’s nice to see this rendition of the classic play be put onto Blu-ray.
Admittedly I’m really not a fan of surrealism cinema, not that the ideas go over my head (albeit some do) but often times it comes across pretentious and worse yet, outright dull. Even so, Kiju Yoshida’s visuals are at least something to behold.
