When COVID-19 was closing everything in 2020, Imprint Films, a premium sub-label of Via Vision Entertainment, emerged and physical media in Australia has since been all the better for it.
Imprint Film’s final wave for 2020 featured a number of genre classics that have been hard to resist. Succumbing to my urges as a completest I’ve ended up with five out of the six titles, with At Close Range (No. 25) being my pick for the best release, which includes some newly commissioned bonus material.

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

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. One release that’s still beckoning to collectors is The Day of the Locust, an unpolished gem that remains a very polarising interpretation of 1930s Hollywood and

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

Much like the film itself, The Carpetbaggers, proved to be a very hot item when it hit Blu-ray from Imprint Films, No. 9 in the label’s second wave, selling out rather quickly. Upon watching and reading about the film, it’s demand is really no surprise as this heated adaptation of Harold Robbins’ best-selling novel, pushed

I have to admit I wasn’t particularly excited to watch A Place in the Sun following its announcement from Imprint Films, No. 8 in the label’s second wave, and I’m not mistaken, the only one which hasn’t sold out …yet. Winner of six Oscars including Best Director for George Stevens, this tragic tale of love

Since my last Imprint Films review, I was happy to see that The Carpetbaggers and Night Falls on Manhattan have sold out, which will hopefully prompt a second printing in the near future. No Way to Treat a Lady is one of three premium Blu-ray releases that remain, a classic black comedy based on William

I remember first hearing about When Worlds Collide via a loose reference on an episode of Seinfeld, in which George Costanza likened the cataclysmic event to the unwanted merging of two separate parts of his social life. That’s actually very relatable. Now the George Pal classic has collided with Blu-ray for the very first time,

Here we are after three months with the next batch from Imprint Films, five premium Blu-ray releases, out of which I’m starting with the less talked about, Night Falls on Manhattan, No. 10 in the line-up. Andy Garcia stars as a newly elected District Attorney who must investigate accusations of widespread police corruption following a

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender: the climactic battle fought by the famed French leader depicted is a spectacular film epic of the same name which is now on Blu-ray from premium Australian label Imprint Films, No. 5 in their first assault on the physical media market. Produced by none other than Dino De
