Geologist Tom Baines (Drop Zone's Sam Hennings) returns to his home town of Comet Valley to examine a supposed meteor found by old friend Thurman (The Jigsaw Murders' Charles Bouvier) and lecture the local space nuts (just as the only bridge out of town will be closed for three days of maintenance).

Carter arrives in traditional Czech dress determined to blend in, but not only is his costume centuries behind early twentieth century C...


The Quiet Family by James-Masaki Ryan (16th April 2025)

"The Quiet Family" <조용한 가족> (1998) The Kang family consists of father Dae-goo (played by Park In-hwan), mother Soon-rye (played by Na Moon-hee), their young adult son Young-min (played by Song Kang-ho), their teenage daughters Mina (played by Go Ho-kyung) and Misoo (played by Lee Yoon-seong), plus Dae-goo’s younger brother Chang-goo (played by Choi Min-sik). The family moved out of the city to take care of a lodge in the mountains, to rent out rooms for hikers and tourists.

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. What they do not know, however, is that he is not dead… or, at least, he does not believe he is dead. Able to see the doctors but unable to speak or move, Moore tries to recall how he got there even as he is wheeled into cold storage. When he was alive and well, Moore was planning on transferring to London and using his diplomatic ties to help get lover Mira (Black Belly of the Tarantula's Barbara Bach) out of the country with him. After they attend an upscale party in which Mira attracts much attention – as well as the jealousy of Moore's colleague and ex-lover Jessica (...


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...

TECHNICAL REVIEWS
Four Flies on Grey Velvet AKA 4 mosche di velluto grigio AKA Quattro mosche di velluto grigio AKA 4 mouches de velours gris (Blu-ray 4K) by Rick Curzon (16th April 2025)

Dario Argentodescribes FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET as a deeply personal exploration of his inner turmoil: “I decided to let loose, go crazy, and unleash all my creativity and personal nightmares. Psychoanalysis plays a major role in the film because it’s partly autobiographical – rather Freudian, in fact.” Both Argento and lead actor Michael Brandon, in exclusive interviews for this edition, reveal how the director found his alter ego in Brandon, channelling his own paranoia to create an unsettling psychological thriller. The result is a shocking, knife-edge whodunit with a stunning twist. Introspection becomes art in Argento’s hands, making FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET essential viewing for anyone seeking a glimpse into the director’s psyche. It concludes Argento’s iconic ‘Animal’ trilogy, paving the way for ‘Suspiria’ and his later expressionistic masterpieces that earned him the title ‘Master of Horror.’ Celebrated rock musician Roberto Tobias (Michael Brandon) is thrust into a nightmare. Framed for a brutal stabbing, he soon finds himself ensnared in a web of senseless murders. The only clue to the deranged killer lies in a cryptic image captured on a victim’s retina. Roberto’s desperate searc...

Who Saw Her Die? AKA Chi L'Ha Vista Morire? AKA The Child (Blu-ray) by Rick Curzon (23rd August 2024)

George Lazenby, in a career-defining departure from his role as James Bond 007 (On Her Majestys Secret Service), delivers a powerful, gutsy performance in Aldo Lado's chillingly disturbing giallo masterpiece, WHO SAW HER DIE? Lazenby portrays Franco Serpieri, a sculptor recently separated from his wife (Anita Strindberg). He invites their young daughter, Roberta (Nicoletta Elmi), to spend time with him in an autumnal Venice. As father and daughter joyfully make up for lost time exploring the city, their idyllic bonding is shattered when Roberta becomes the target of a dangerous child-killer lurking in the city's foggy canals. Consumed by grief and driven by a thirst for justice, a tormented Franco embarks on his own investigation, uncovering vicious depravity in the highest echelons of Venetian society controlled by a Machiavellian art-dealer Adolfo Celi (Largo in 007s Thunderball). Bearing striking and uncanny similarities to Nicolas Roegs later film, Dont Look Now, Lados WHO SAW HER DIE? delves into a fathers haunting guilt within a spellbinding giallo mystery. Enhanced by Ennio Morricone's eerie score and Franco Di Giacomo's (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) evocative cinematography, now properly revealed in this defin...


Guest House Paradiso (Blu-ray) by Rick Curzon (12th August 2024)

After a decade of honing their signature characters, Richie and Eddie, across TV and stage-show appearances, British comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (The Comic Strip Presents..., The Young Ones) finally gave the pair the big-screen outing which they truly deserved in the riotous, vomit-soaked entertainment that is Guest House Paradiso. When Mr Nice (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) and his family check in to ‘the cheapest hotel in Britain’ – run with maximum inefficiency and malfeasance by Richie and Eddie – it sets off an outrageous chain of events involving rubber underwear, a beautiful Italian film star (Hélène Mahieu), her abusive fiancé (Vincent Cassel, Irreversible), and a consignment of radioactive fish. Featuring a spectacular supporting cast, which also includes Fenella Fielding (Carry On Screaming!, Hammer’s The Old Dark House) and Bill Nighy (Love Actually), this slapstick tour-de-force is a latter-day classic of disreputable British comedy, which has to be seen to be believed....
