Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.
Dark Intruder isn’t anything special other than its history as a failed TV pilot released theatrically and now on Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber and includes a few features along with solid video and audio transfers.
Stretch is a movie that unfortunately gone under the radar thanks to it going straight to streaming (before it routine) six years ago. Patrick Wilson is pitch-perfect in the lead and Chris Pine shows off his comedic prowess.
So Evil My Love is a well made, and very well acted, crime-drama-romance headed by Ray Milland, playing a scummy charmer, and Ann Todd going from innocent to criminal in no time, yet still works.
The Suspect is an all around entertaining and oft suspense-filled crime-drama with some film nourish elements and features two great performances from both Charles Laughton and Ella Raines.
Spell is a supernatural-horror film starring Omari Hardwick (Power) and Loretta Devine and comes to Blu-ray and DVD from Paramount Players and has a few featurettes and deleted scenes.
The Court Jester is a perhaps a hidden gem of the 1950s, the plot is a bit sitcom-esque in its conveniences but I had a blast with the humor and enjoyed the core cast, especially Danny Kaye and his ability to switch personalities on a dime.
Fatman isn’t especially memorable but I always enjoy seeing a gruff Mel Gibson and his portrayal of a grounded Santa Claus. The movie is saved thanks to an entertaining final sequence as well as Gibson and Walton Goggins.
Buried Alive is a fun, if not simplistic, horror-dark comedy featuring some good performances from its core cast with Tim Matheson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and William Atherton.
Three Films by Luis Bunuel is a collection of films from the prolific director and includes The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), The Phantom of Liberty (1974) and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977).
Silent Running comes to Blu-ray through Arrow Video and stars venerable actor Bruce Dern and comes with new video and audio transfers alongside a good selection of bonus material.
The Last Starfighter is a fun if not overly ambitious (quasi) family friendly science fiction adventure comedy led by Lance Guest, Catherine Mary Stewart and Robert Preston.
The Train is an all-around well made war-thriller from director John Frankenheimer and features great performances from Burt Lancaster and Paul Scofield.
Iron Mask is hardly good though a few good-bad moments, but I found it to be an inoffensive fantasy-adventure flick and if anything, gives you a chance to see Schwarzenegger sport an old-fashioned wig, so there is that.
Smiley Face Killers fails on just about every level outside of a catchy score, the performance from the lead lackluster but worse the movie plods along with villains that take their time stalking and messing with their victim for no reason.
