Major Dundee, starring Charlton Heston and Richard Harris, arrives on Blu-ray including both the Extended and Theatrical Versions, and a good selection of bonus features.
The Ten Commandments from 1956, starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brenner and Anne Baxter, marks its 4K Ultra HD debut that includes the same bonus material from the 2020 digibook release.
The Ten Commandments Blu-ray from Paramount now comes in Digibook form and has both the 1923 and 1956 feature films, and though they are the same discs, at a discounted price, and if not already owned, worth picking up.
Earthquake is certainly one of the lesser of the disaster film of the 1970s and certainly the story and characters, despite a respectable cast, was the weaker point but I was at least impressed with some of the miniature and special effects work.
Antony and Cleopatra is a well done historical-drama especially considering it was Charlton Heston’s directorial debut and under major financial constraints, but Heston does a fine job despite being a bit too old while Hildegard Neil was at least a delight as Cleopatra.
In the Mouth of Madness is the best Stephen King adaptation that wasn’t with a trippy premise and great performance from Sam Neill under the direction of John Carpenter.
Any Given Sunday is an engaging movie that many sports, especially NFL, will enjoy and not only holds up today, but kind of predicts a few trends that have permeated college and pro football.
The Agony and the Ecstasy is a massive production and features two fine performances by Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison; it’s also an interesting, widespread, story that keeps one’s attention through the 2-hour running time.
Twilight Time has another wonderful Blu-ray release on their hands with a fantastic restoration for both the video (especially amazing) and audio that any fan of Khartoum will hopefully appreciate.
