Interiors is the latest of the, at least to me, obscure Woody Allen films to find their way onto Blu-ray. The film itself is fine headlined by some fine performances and at least a compelling enough story.

Review: Baby Boom BD + Screen Caps
Baby Boom was one of many working woman movies of the mid-to-late 80s but does feature a wonderful performance by Diane Keaton and it’s never a bad thing to see Harold Ramis.
Review: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying BD + Screen Caps
How to Succeed in Business… isn’t a great musical as it is quite dated but some of the songs were on the catchy side even when the acting was a bit too broad (i.e. over-the-top) for my taste.

Review: Peyton Place BD + Screen Caps
Peyton Place is a well acted and finely made atypical 1950s era drama based on a controversial book. This Blu-ray released through Twilight Time offers up good video and audio transfers and an okay amount of bonus material.
Review: Edge of Eternity BD + Screen Caps
Edge of Eternity is a rather obscure but quite entertaining little thriller that includes a simple story in conjunction with beautiful cinematography making good use of the glory of the Grand Canyon.

Review: Chilly Scenes of Winter BD + Screen Caps
Chilly Scenes of Winter is a wonderful little romantic-drama features two charming performances from John Heard and Mary Beth Hurt. This Blu-ray released through Twilight Time offers okay video and audio transfers while the bonus material, not surprisingly, is on the limited side.

Review: Comes a Horseman BD + Screen Caps
Comes a Horseman is an oft forgotten western-thriller that features three amazing performances, particularly by Jason Robards, with beautiful cinematography from the late Gordon C. Willis (The Godfather Trilogy).

Review: Stanley & Iris BD + Screen Caps
Panned by critics (29% on Rotten Tomatoes), Stanley & Iris rests almost entirely on the talent, and charms, of the two leads, Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro, rather than the script. Fans of either of these legendary actors will get something out of this rom-melodrama.
Review: Two for the Road BD + Screen Caps
Two for the Road is a charming little romantic drama featuring two charismatic leads in legendary actors Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney (when he didn’t mumble his lines like he had as of late).

Review: The Bullet Train BD + Screen Caps
A bit on the lengthy side (152-minutes), The Bullet Train is still an exciting thriller that, albeit familiar for fans of Speed, features an in-depth story and formidable, and not-cartoonish, villain combined with some adequate visual and special effects for its time.

Review: Gran Bollito BD + Screen Caps
Gran Bollito, to say the least, is an unusual drama but with compelling performances by Shelley Winters and Max von Sydow (in drag), this might be worthwhile to those looking for the weird.
Review: The Boston Strangler BD + Screen Caps
The Boston Strangler is a well done, if not methodical, crime-suspense-drama featuring a plethora of fine performances from the likes of Henry Fonda and George Kennedy, but the standout is Tony Curtis playing against type as the murderous Albert DeSalvo.

Review: Pretty Poison BD + Screen Caps
Pretty Poison is a surprisingly well done romantic-drama with crime thrown into the mixture and features great performances from Anthony Perkins, unsurprisingly, as well as what should’ve been a star-making role by Tuesday Weld.
Review: Moby Dick BD + Screen Caps
Moby Dick is a classic adaptation of the, well, Herman Melville’s classic novel and features some fine performances by Gregory Peck and Richard Basehart, not to mention Orson Welles in a small role.
Review: The Chase BD + Screen Caps
The Chase is an all-star centered crime-drama and an acting tour-de-force from Marlon Brando to Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. It’s somewhat of a forgotten film but thankfully finds a home on Blu-ray through Twilight Time’s Limited Edition series.
