WarGames 4K Arrow review: A fitting transfer for this landmark sci-fi movie. Watch this film in as dark a room as possible to really benefit from the flashing lights and sweeping visuals. It’s presented on a grand scale.

Paul Thomas Anderson debut movie neo-noir Hard Eight (1996) 88 Films review: The picture is crystal-clear in this dark and gritty world. 88 Films has provided a great transfer where you can see finer textures, even pores in skin, along with the neon lights, and warm and smoky casino halls...

Guyver: Dark Hero bluray review: The film has some wonderfully kinetic fight scenes, choreographed by a professional Hong Kong stunt team and utilising plenty of wirework, it goes to great lengths to recreate a number of iconic shots from the anime.

The Saragossa Manuscript (1965) 4K Radiance review: The frame tale/ stories-within-stories novel was thought unfilmable at the time. Even to this day, film experts argue over how many layers of stories there are within the movie. I think it gets to as far as six at one point.

Corruption (1963) Radiance review: Searing indictment of a society at the cusp of momentous change, with a brilliantly charged screenplay delivering up scabrous dialogue that crackles with cynicism.

Joe (1970) Transmission review: Neat crime drama portrays the gritty and hedonistic shift in culture at the turn of the decade. Peter Boyle, later known for Everybody Loves Raymond, steals the movie as bigoted maniac Joe Currin.

Histoire(s) du Cinema review: A vast project weaving together metatextual strands to form a genuine 'Gesamtkunstwerk', or total work of art. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐

Misery 4K Arrow review: The picture is strikingly clear and cinematic. I decided to watch with the 5.1 surround sound option and the initial scenes in the snowstorm felt so immersive. The wind-whipping noises swirled across my living room.

Jiří Trnka: Puppet Master, Second Run Bluray review: The Walt Disney of Eastern Europe

He has been referred to as “the father of Czech animation” and also often as “the Walt Disney of Eastern Europe” (though more for his innovation and mastery of the form, rather than the commercialism the Disney brand would become known for in later years).
