Rollerball looks great on 4K UHD and remains timeless in its themes. Bonus features highlight some cool aspects of the film.
Deadly Friend is nobody’s favorite Wes Craven movie, least of all Craven’s. Even if it doesn’t compare to Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream or The People Under the Stairs, Deadly Friend is a hoot. It’s teens playing with powers over their heads, in this case robotics. Samantha (Kristy Swanson)’s abusive father ends up killing her. […]

Whoever has home video rights to MGM will keep releasing new editions of Rocky and Lionsgate will keep pumping out new editions of the Rambo films. Shout! Factory got their hands on Stallone’s 1986 cop movie Cobra. I was away at Sundance when the Blu-ray came out and then had TCA right after, so I’m […]
It’s hard to believe 8mm is 20 years old, and that people were really afraid snuff films were real in the late ‘90s. It’s not one of Nicolas Cage’s best performances but it was at the height of his ‘90s fame when he could apply his quirky performances to mainstream movies. And yes, a snuff […]
Single White Female was a classic of the ‘90s thriller genre. It was a classic “_____ from hell” movie, in this case a roommate from hell as opposed to a nanny from hell or a neighbor from hell. To this day it is a verb for someone copying you to the point they’re trying to […]
Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers is the classic tale of a pair of incestuous soul suckers who get killed by cats. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, but the new Scream Factory Blu-ray makes sure their story will last for generations to come. The Columbia Pictures source must’ve been great because Sleepwalkers looks good even by […]
The Incredible Shrinking Woman is still the best shrinking movie there is. Sorry, Downsizing. Shout! Factory didn’t shrink their Blu-ray though. It’s loaded with extras. The new transfer looks great. The grain is actually enlarged rather than shrunken, because so much of the film had Tomlin against projected screens, so it’s added layers of grain. […]
Car Wash is one of those classics I just never caught, so the Shout Factory Blu-ray was a perfect chance. It’s part of their Shout Select series. It truly is just a day in the life at a car wash. They mess with the customers and each other. It’s got great music and a party […]
It always bums me out when film series get released on DVD or Blu-ray but the extras only focus on the original. The sequels are movies too, even if they’re not as well liked or just not as good. Fortunately Shout Factory treats the sequels like classics too, even when they’re not, as in the […]
