Given Criterion’s relationship with Gilliam and the many Blu-rays released through them, it felt like 12 Monkeys was screaming for the Criterion treatment. It felt like it was all but a done deal that The Criterion Collection would be the ones who put out a proper Blu-ray release of Terry Gilliam’s Sci-Fi epic 12 Monkeyson Blu-ray. 12 Monkeys (1995) – Blu-ray – Arrow Video Mandymay be available on Shudder, but it’s definitely worth adding to your collection. It’s an experience that feels like something new and different. I skipped Mandyin theaters and I strongly regret missing out.
It’s a real shame the movie is not eligible for any Oscar recognition, most especially a nomination for Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score. I even know a few who plan to place it as their number #1 film of 2018. I’m expecting to see Mandymake numerous Top 10 Best of the Year lists. I had a fun time watching and is worth purchasing, even if you’ve never seen it. It’s filled with characters you care for and that’s what makes it work. The movie is a fun tribute to the monster movies of the 50’s and 60’s shown from the view of a young boy during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The MatineeBlu-ray was a blind buy for me and I do not regret it. Here’s a small gem of a movie directed by Joe Dante and starring John Goodman. This long awaited Blu-ray comes with 2 cuts of the film (!), and a few interviews. Dealing with a post-apocalyptic nuclear holocaust, the movie is depressing but also an eye opener. The Day After broke ratings records when originally aired on ABC in 1983 drawing over 100 million viewers in 39 million households. The Day After (1983) – Blu-ray – Kino LorberĪ powerful made for TV movie getting it’s first ever Blu-ray release. A new recommendation for you horror hounds. Zombies are done right and the gore is plentiful. Those who felt a little disappointed in the lack of gore in the Korean zombie movie Train to Busan might find this one much more satisfying. Based on the manga by Kengo Hanazawa, I Am A Hero is about a delusional manga artist who finds himself in the middle of a zombie outbreak and strives to become the hero in his art to save himself and the people around him. I Am A Hero (2015) – Blu-ray – FunimationĪ Japanese horror movie you might have missed. Those of us with Region Free players, Arrow gets my money this time. It’s too bad there is still no Region A Blu-ray. Arrow’s release comes with a brand new restoration, 3 commentary tracks, a feature length documentary, and a shiny purpleish slipcover. A Region Free Mediabook is available from Germany, but not sure about the quality. The wise cracking vamp is on Blu and looks terrific! Unfortunately Arrow Video’s new Blu-ray is Region B locked.
