Coming Soon to Blu-Ray: The Exterminator (James Glickenhaus, 1980)
I think this was announced earlier this year (or maybe late last year?) but Blu-Ray.com have just posted the news that Synapse Films will be releasing one of the quintessential revenge films The Exterminator on Blu-Ray in the near future. I cannot… Continue reading
Orgasmo (aka Paranoia, Umberto Lenzi, 1969)
All of Lenzi’s gialli are now available on DVD although some, like this one, are not English friendly. The presentation of the film on this DVD is very poor indeed, having no 16×9 enhancement or digital remastering. 01 Distribution’s recent releas… Continue reading
Rolling Thunder Blu-Ray, Revenge of the Ninja UK DVD and other goodies!
Another post on Rolling Thunder (John Flynn, 1977) you ask? Well, it is with good cause. Paul, over at the Lovelockandload forum, mentioned earlier today that the UK label Optimum will be releasing the film on DVD and, wait for it, Blu-Ray. The re… Continue reading
Peeping Tom on Blu-Ray
A welcome surprise. On 22 November, Optimum will be releasing Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom on Blu-Ray. Early reviews suggest that disc is a winner, featuring high quality video and two documentaries. I have just ordered the Blu-Ray from MovieMail,… Continue reading
Machete Maidens Unleashed (Mark Hartley, 2010)
I cannot wait for this. If this is anywhere near as good as Hartley’s previous documentary Not Quite Hollywood (2008) it will certainly be a treat for any cult film fan. Here is the trailer; there are some great contributors. Continue reading
Bruce Lee Blu-Rays
My favourite Asian DVD retailer DDDHouse currently having a Blu-Ray sale. At the moment you can pick the Blu-Ray releases of the three Bruce Lee classics The Big Boss (Wei Lo, 1971), Fist of Fury (Wei Lo, 1972) and The Way of the Dragon (Bruce Lee… Continue reading
Platoon (Oliver Stone, 1986) on Blu-Ray
Oliver Stone’s Platoon has finally been released on DVD but is currently only available in Hong Kong. My copy arrived from DDDHouse, the best online Asian DVD retailer, yesterday and despite the video being MPEG-2 encoded the picture quality is ve… Continue reading
Tropic of Cancer aka Al tropico del cancro (Gian Paolo Lomi / Edoardo Mulargia, 1972) coming to DVD
I am pleased to find that another one of my past fan DVD projects will be rendered obsolete as the German label Camera Obscura have announced that they will be releasing the giallo Tropic of Cancer on DVD later this year. It would be good if the a… Continue reading
Thriller and The Twilight Zone coming to Blu-Ray courtesy of Image Entertainment
It looks as if Image Entertainment have avoided for bankruptcy, for now anyway, and will be releasing the Boris Karloff hosted show Thriller on DVD and also the first season of The Twilight Zone on Blu-Ray. Thriller will have numerous special feat… Continue reading
