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 […]

American television during the 1970s treated audiences to a number of absorbing and landmark mini-series’, often exploring the life experiences of everyday people. Rich Man, Poor Man is one such classic, based on Irwin Shaw’s 1969 novel of the same name and follows the diverging paths of two German-American brothers from an improvised migrant home

Not to be confused with the 1988 spooktacular Night of the Demons, this is the British singular, Night of the Demon, aka Curse of the Demon (United States), that emerged on shelves earlier this month, September 2nd on Blu-ray & DVD from Cinema Cult. Highly regarded as a staple of British horror, this unnerving classic

I write this review from the land Down Under with envious eyes, where pizza is universally loved by us Aussies, but is greatly varied in quality. Most small town take away outlets are only defined by their respective business name, while the more ethically rich capitals offer something a little closer to its Italian roots.

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

If you’re a keen-eye fan of Hammer Films you’ll immediately notice the striking resemblance to their 1965 paranoid-thriller Die! Die! My Darling! has with Lamont Johnson’s You’ll Like My Mother, which arrived on Australian shelves earlier this month, September 2nd, from Cinema Cult. In the dead of winter, a recently widowed woman, Francesca (Patty Duke),

When COVID-19 hit our shores earlier this year, formats for the already struggling physical media market were grim, especially regarding new release films. However, it seems some distributors are enjoying a wave of prosperity, including Umbrella Entertainment, who surprised many with the announcement of a new sub-label, Sunburnt Screens, which is intended to focus on

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,

With three subsequent sequels, each presumably worse than the other, I feel those who haven’t seen Meatballs have been lead to believe that it’s nothing more than a smutty teen comedy. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it’s not the case at all, having just watched the first Bill Murray vehicle on DVD, out
