The Hospital is a dark comedy that works mostly for George C. Scott though the story itself isn’t only mildly amusing. The Blu-ray has okay video/audio transfers but lacks many features.

Short Night of Glass Dolls (The Limited Edition Series) Blu-ray Review
Short Night of Glass Dolls is an uneven yet still interesting Italian film that has had the term giallo attached to it but doesn’t share that much in common. There are some dull moments in an otherwise passable film.

In My Country Blu-ray Review
In My Country is a finely acted drama from Samuel L. Jackson and Juliette Binoche telling an interesting and well written story based off of a novel.
Gloria Blu-ray Review
Gloria is a well done even sweet crime-drama where you can see why Gena Rowlands earned her Best Actress Academy Award nomination and the young John Adames, in his one and only role, does a nice job.
Genghis Khan Blu-ray Review
An uneven adventure-drama, Genghis Khan is still a well acted, primarily by Omar Sharif in the title role, and entertaining enough film.

Cinderella Liberty is a well acted, if not uneven, drama-romance with two great performances by James Caan and Marsha Mason who did receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.

The Children of Huang Shi is a very well told, finely acted and all around beautiful looking film by director Roger Spittiswoode and his cinematographer Xiaoding Zhao.
Take a Girl Like You Blu-ray Review
Take a Girl Like You is a fun little 1970s romantic-comedy romp propelled by the charismatic performances by Hayley Mills and Oliver Reed.
Let’s Make Love Blu-ray Review
Let’s Make Love is another charming film from Marilyn Monroe and although I didn’t think Yves Montand was a great leading man, I did have a fun time watching them together and an all around engaging story.
My Sister Eileen Blu-ray Review
My Sister Eileen is a cute and fun 1950s-era comedy-musical with many of the tropes you would expect from the era, and all of it enjoyable thanks to three wonderful performances by Janet Leigh, Betty Garrett and Jack Lemmon.
Geronimo: An American Legend Blu-ray Review
Geronimo: An American Legend is a excellently made historical drama from renowned filmmaker Walter Hill and with a great group of cast headlined by Gene Hackman, Wes Studi (as the title character), Jason Patric and Matt Damon in one of his early roles, this is a great film.

No Down Payment is a well done and underappreciated movie about 4 families living in 1950s suburbia and features some great performances, particularly Joanne Woodward, Tony Randall and Cameron Mitchell.
Blue Denim Blu-ray Review
The Hospital is a dark comedy that works mostly for George C. Scott though the story itself isn’t only mildly amusing. The Blu-ray has okay video/audio transfers but lacks many features.
Model Shop Blu-Ray Review
Model Shop was an okay enough drama that excels with the performance from Alexandra Hay while I found Gary Lockwood’s Matthews to be a bit annoyingly dense of a character.
The Seven-Ups Blu-ray Review
The Seven-Ups might not be one of the more well-known crime-dramas that came out of the 70s and although the filmmaking aspects weren’t exactly top-notch when compared to its counterparts, the chase scene alone was worth the admission.
