I have been a fan of the thriller genre for a long as I can remember. Whether it’s a mystery, or a police thriller, or a chase film, the genre has often been one I lovingly revisit as much as I can. You cannot mention the thriller genre without mentioning Alfred Hitchcock and the same can be said for the man who often tries to emulate the iconic director by making his own iconic films: Brian DePalma. Though DePalma has made everything from dramas to comedy to musicals, his biggest or most loved films tend to be his thrillers. There are the earlier films like Sisters and Carrie that are fantastic films made with small budgets that continuously endure to fans. The 80’s happened and after the failure of Blow Out, A shock even now, because the film is a masterpiece, and the polarizing nature of Scarface, it was time for another thriller from the auteur. Released 40 years ago, Body Double also was released to unsure critics and audiences. Read more about all the sleazy fun below and don’t miss the in-depth look at the technical side of this 40th Anniversary 4K UHD Blu-ray edition!
Among quite a few gems in 1992 cinema, A League of Their Own stood out. The fictional tale of the very true All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), Penny Marshall delivered an unexpectedly beloved comedy. Stunningly straightforward and extremely entertaining, the film was immediately embraced by audiences and even now is a film that’s in the Library of Congress! As a definite A League of Their Ownfan since first seeing this as a wide-eyed 7-year-old, I am so happy to see the film getting a standalone release on 4K UHD Blu-ray following its inclusion in the first Columbia Classics box set! Read my retrospective on the film below and the tech section is not to be missed either! Batter up!
HBO tends to continue its lead on compelling series. There is no doubt that we’ve loved shows as varied as The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Veep, or Six Feet Under before Succession dropped in on us. A modern series that mimics the Fox Media empire in a fictional way, the bitingly funny black satire was an instant success critically and with audiences. Now, Warner Brothers has lovingly released the series to Blu-ray and fans of the show have a great new addition to their physical media collections!

When Bringing Out The Dead arrived in theaters in 1999 it was up against a lot. The film was touted as one thing and marketed as another. Seeing the film showed you exactly what Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader and their excellent cast were working for. The film has long gestated on DVD since 2000, where now, 25 years later, we have the film on 4K UHD Blu-ray. I hadn’t seen the film since about 2001, and so revisiting for this review revealed a lot of wonderful new nuances for me. Read more about Bringing Out The Dead below. Perhaps the review will give you wonderful readers a reason to revisit this incredible film!

Since 2018, TV fans have been insane over Yellowstone. The show continues to be so popular even in hiatus (at least until later this fall), and we have Taylor Sheridan to thank for that. Just before that, the treat that is Sicario came out, and with the atmospheric direction of Denis Villeneuve to drive the incredible Sheridan story home, we were given an action thriller for the ages.

The film did small business but critically the film was loved and found a home with streamers and us Blu-ray buyers too!
