Universal strikes again and puts out a set that contains
four already released movies and four new movies to blu ray like they did with
the Spielberg set last year (more on that in just a bit) but I will make an
exception this time since it is Eastwood.
Finally, we get anamorphic releases of The Eiger Sanction, The Beguiled,
Coogan’s Bluff, and Play Misty for Me.
I will know make peace with Universal now that they have
released the new Spielberg blu ray titles individually. Spielberg directed one of the best movies
ever in Jaws and created the summer blockbuster with that and Close Encounters
of the Third kind. How do you follow
those up? With a World War 2 comedy
about hysterical Californians preparing for a Japanese invasion in the days
after Pearl Harbor, that’s how. This
movie bombed at the box office but opinion of this has changed quite
dramatically over the years and fans have been craving an anamorphic version of
this since DVDs have existed. This
features and all-star cast and some surprising great dance numbers, highly
recommended.
A business commuter is pursued and terrorized by a
malevolent driver of a massive tractor-trailer.
Spielberg’s first movie, a made for TV movie but it was so good it was
released theatrically later on. Think
Jaws on wheels, highly recommended.
A vengeful Australian policeman sets out to avenge his
partner, his wife and his son. Scream
Factory brings us this ultimate cult classic and it is awesome! This is the little movie that started it all
so watch this and the other sequels to prepare for Mad Max: Fury Road.
This is a re-issue with new cover art and a cool red case. Reminds me of HD-DVDs, sorry if you bought in
too early on that defunct format. Now,
come with me if you want to leave.
This movie chronicles Martin Luther King's campaign to
secure equal voting rights via an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama
in 1965. I am interested in checking
this out but this also took a lot of flack for taking some liberties with
history.
