Gun Fury is a run-of-the-mill western-adventure film made fun with the performances by Rock Hudson and Donna Reed, but not much else was all that memorable.

Beneath the 12-Mile Reef BD + Screen Caps
Beneath the 12-Mile Reef isn’t bad with a Romeo and Juliet like story… in Florida. The film mostly excels with Robert Wagner’s charms rather than an interesting plot.

Review: Kid Galahad BD + Screen Caps
Kid Galahad is a fun Elvis Presley sports musical (not many of those out there) that features some catchy 1960s tunes and some fine performances from Presley and Gig Young.
Review: Suddenly, Last Summer BD + Screen Caps
Suddenly, Last Summer is a great drama both in terms of story but especially the performances by Katherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor were amazing and deserving of the Oscar nominations they received that year.

Review: 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag BD + Screen Caps
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is a movie I remember seeing advertising for back in 1997, and no wonder with a distinct title like that. As a movie, there are some darkly fun scenes mainly for Joe Pesci who is in his element in the Mafioso role.

Review: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* BD + Screen Caps
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (but were afraid to ask) is a series of comedy vignettes featuring Woody Allen, Burt Reynolds and Gene Wilder amongst others and while none of these were exactly gems (I didn’t laugh once during the jester part), it’s still at least okay.

Review: State Fair BD + Screen Caps
State Fair is a fun little musical romp from the 1960s with many of that era’s idyllic romance and music. I’m not terribly familiar with the source material or other versions, but this one is entertaining.
Review: Hell and High Water BD + Screen Caps
Hell and High Water isn’t a great 1950s war adventure but it does serve well as a look back at the Cold War, anti-Communist era of that time and at the very least the production values are impressive enough to go along with solid performances by Richard Widmark and Bella Darvi.

Review: The Bridge at Remagen BD + Screen Caps
Bridge at Remagen is a well made and beautifully shot WWII-era film that features some fine performances, particularly from George Segal and Robert Vaughn. The Blu-ray release by Twilight Time offers good video and audio transfers but falls well short in the features department.

Review: The Valachi Papers BD + Screen Caps
The Valachi Papers is a unique crime-drama vehicle for Charles Bronson and while not the most compelling film, still is entertaining enough for the cast. The Blu-ray released by Twilight Time offers good video and audio transfers but lacks bonus features.

Review: The Quiet American BD + Screen Caps
The Quiet American is a well made, finely acted Vietnam-era war drama that is well worth watching, especially for fans of the genre.

Review: The Man in the Moon BD + Screen Caps
The Man in the Moon is a well made coming-of-age story that’s probably most memorable for being Reese Witherspoon’s introduction but also features a nice supporting cast.

Review: The Stone Killer BD + Screen Caps
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.

Review: Inferno (1953) BD + Screen Caps
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.
Review: Who’ll Stop the Rain BD + Screen Caps
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.
