Short Night of Glass Dolls: Four-Disc Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Collector's Edition by Eric Cotenas (15th April 2025)
The body of a young man is found in a public park in Prague, his eyes open and staring. He is pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital and moved to the morgue. The medical staff discover that the man is Gregory Moore (One on Top of the Other's Jean Sorel), an American reporter working for the foreign press.

Some Like It Hot: The Criterion Collection by Noor Razzak (15th April 2025)
Billy Wilder’s "Some Like It Hot" remains a landmark in American cinema, deftly combining screwball comedy, gender-bending farce, and social satire in a way that feels astonishingly fresh, even decades after its release. The film isn’t just a comedy classic—it’s a sharp commentary on identity, desire, and the absurdity of gender expectations. Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, the story follows two struggling musicians, Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon), who witness a mob hit and flee town by disguising themselves as women. They join an all-female band on its way to Florida, where they meet the stunning and troubled Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), the band’s ukulele-playing singer with dreams of marrying a millionaire. As Joe woos Sugar while posing as a millionaire himself, and Jerry finds himself the object of affection from an actual rich suitor, the narrative spirals into a delightful tangle of deception and comic chaos. The brilliance of "Some Like It Hot" lies in its script, co-written by ... |

Babygirl by Noor Razzak (15th April 2025)
"Babygirl" directed by Halina Reijn takes a fearless leap into the treacherous waters of power, sexuality, and societal expectation. Starring Nicole Kidman in one of her most provocative roles to date, the film explores a taboo relationship that both defies and critiques conventional gender and age dynamics. What unfolds is a sleek, stylized, and emotionally fraught character study that’s as compelling as it is occasionally confounding. Kidman plays Romy Mathis, the CEO of a cutting-edge robotics company who begins a relationship with Samuel (Harris Dickinson), a 25-year-old intern. What might have been played for scandal or erotic thrill instead morphs into a layered, unsettling examination of control, emotional fragility, and the longing for youth—not in the physical sense, but in its recklessness, intensity, and freedom. At its core, "Babygirl" is about female agency, about who gets to desire and who is allowed to act on that desire. By reversing the typical power imbalance so often seen in cinema (older man, younger woman), the film doesn’t just subvert expectations; it ... |

Mabuse Lives! Dr. Mabuse at CCC: 1960-1964 - Limited Edition by Eric Cotenas (6th April 2025)
"Fritz Lang made two of the defining works of early German cinema with Dr Mabuse, the Gambler and The Testament of Dr Mabuse, two masterpieces centred on Norbert Jacques’ nefarious literary supervillain. In 1960, Lang was charged by Artur Brauner’s CCC Film with making a third crime thriller centred on the infamous Dr Mabuse, completing a trilogy nearly forty years in the making. A huge success, The Thousand Eyes of Dr Mabuse gave CCC the confidence to launch into an entire series focused on the master criminal between 1960 and 1964, with Wolfgang Preiss filling the title role. All six films are presented here alongside a wealth of new and archival extras." The Thousand Eyes of Dr Mabuse: Although he died institutionalized back in 1932, many of his criminal cohorts have long believed that megalomaniacal mastermind Dr. Mabuse is still alive; and he is just who Interpol suspects of a string of murders linked only to the victims' stays at Berlin's Hotel Luxor: the latest being news reporter Peter Barter whose death of an apparent heart attack in his car in the middle of traffic is revealed to be murder only after p... |
