Many of us probably look at seagulls as a mild annoyance when at the beach; begging for chips or any scrap of food that might fall their way. We don’t normally ponder our own existence or the meaning of life while gazing at the seaside birds, but the film, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, takes audiences on […]

I latched onto Jeepers Creepers from the get-go, purchasing myself a copy literally the day after I watched it. If memory serves, the film didn’t make a lot of waves upon its release, but with DVD entering its boom period it quickly found an audience along with many under-the-radar titles from around that time.

With the majority of available titles now sold out, Imprint Films have gained a solid foothold in Australia’s physical media market since the label’s launch back in COVID-dominate May.

Intended for digital distribution in the United States, for obvious reasons, the hulu original film has made it to numerous big screens

Maximum Overdrive was the first and last film Stephen King directed, but his contribution to cinema did not end there. He later penned the screenplay for Sleepwalkers, the first of its kind not based on any of his pre-existing material, but one that still contains the all the quirks and lunacy of the acclaimed author.

Umbrella Entertainment has added to their modest library of ‘Universal Classics’ with The Invisible Man Returns, out now on DVD; the first of four sequels in The Invisible Man film series.

If you haven’t heard of Major Dundee, don’t worry, it’s not related to Crocodile Dundee, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the creators lifted the name for Paul Hogan’s iconic character. Directed by Sam Peckinpah, this big studio Hollywood western was recently inducted into the Blu-ray catalogue of Imprint Films, already selling out on their

I don’t remember hearing about Half Baked until Dave Chappelle started his sketch comedy program, Chapelle’s Show, arguably the balliest and funnies of all time, which set DVD sales records for years to come. Now, this may not break Blu-ray sales records, especially in this day and age, but his top-billed comedy has finally made
