As much a fan I may be of legendary director Ingmar Bergman, I’ve never actually written at length about one of his films. Thanks to this re-release of his Oscar-winning film, The Virgin Spring, from The Criterion Collection, I now have the chance. Numerous superlatives go with almost any of Bergman films, and this one […]
Dreamscape is now seeing its first double dip on Blu-ray after a rather lackluster and a bit reviled release the first time around. This time, though, we’re all lucky that the folks over at Scream Factory are the ones handling it. They seem to have heard all of the complaints from the other version and […]

Following Annie Hall, auteur Woody Allen began a hot streak through the 80s and somewhat carrying into the 90s. Most of his best and most brilliant work comes from this period. In 1986 he was awarded his 2nd Oscar for original screenplay for Hannah And Her Sisters. The film also scored the first ever sweep […]
In this star-studded, black-hearted spy thriller directed and co-written by the legendary John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen), a potentially catastrophic diplomatic letter from the CIA must be recovered at all costs. Drafted in is Rone (Patrick O’Neal), a young agent with a photographic memory, to make his way through a treacherous maze of shadowy […]
