Arabesque isn’t perfect and pales in comparison with the likes of North by Northwest or Charade, but the enigmatic performances from Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren was so much fun to watch.
F.P. 1 Doesn’t Answer is a sci-fi drama from 1932 from Germany and stars Hans Albers, Synille Schmitz and Paul Hartmann. The Kino Lorber release comes with an audio commentary and English-language version.
Moment by Moment was a swing and huge whiff of a romantic-drama where the two leads shared absolutely no chemistry and many awkward scenes that made the movie pretty tough to sit through.
Viva is an interesting satirical take on 1970s sexploitation and has some great segments from Anna Biller, however with a two hour running time it does ramble and probably could’ve shed 20-25 minutes.
The Widow Couderc is a drama starring Alain Delon, Simone Sigmoret and Ottavia Piccolo and debuts on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber, released on July 7th.
Icy Breasts, a terrible and inaccurate title, is a decent mystery-drama featuring from what I can tell for a foreign film, solid performances from Alain Delon, Mireille Darc and Claude Brasseur.
Horizons West, starring Robery Ryan, Julia Adams, Rock Hudson and Raymond Burr debuts on Blu-ray through Kino Lorber, arrived on May 11th.

Body Slam is a comedy starring Dirk Benedict, Tanya Roberts, Roddy Piper, Captain Lou Albano and Barry Gordon. This oddball film from 1986 is being released on Blu-ray by Kino Lorber on June 15th.
The Allnighter isn’t exactly a quintessential movie from the 1980s, probably not even second tier either, and while it’s pretty safe but it’s light-hearted entertainment.
Cartouche is a fun French swashbuckling action adventure with the only fault being a frustrating main character who was difficult to really root for.
The Last Married Couple in America is a drama-comedy starring George Segal and Natalie Wood (in her final completed performance) and the Kino Lorber Blu-ray includes a commentary track and theatrical trailer.
The Night of the Following Day might have an intrigueing title, the movie itself doesn’t exactly live up to it. Marlon Brando gives a fine performance, though his behind-the-scenes antics probably were more interesting.
Tank is a suspense-drama starring James Garder, Shirley Jones, C. Thomas Howell and G.D. Spradlin. The Blu-ray arrives on May 11 from Kino Lorber and includes an audio commentary and promotional material.
Cool as Ice rightfully flopped at the box office and is a terrible vanity project for Vanilla Ice but there are some fun good-bad moments that really would make for a good time to watch amongst friends, particularly those who grew up during that time.
