If anything, Regarding Henry taught me that a gunshot wound to the head was not automatically fatal; the film’s most pivotal moment that I happened to catch on TV as a child. I was heavily into action films at the time, so the sight of Harrison Ford staggering out of a convenience store after being […]

I attended my first family reunion at a racecourse when I was six. There were no horses in sight that day, but I remember sneaking over the rail to find countless hoof prints of impressive size and uniform. I’m not a gambler, but like most who aren’t I often live the risk-filled lifestyle vicariously through

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.

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
