Arrow have made some interesting announcements today, although the most interesting is for the US only: Unwin, Wittering and Zigo. That's definitely an import job for me. The film noir set also looks good, but are these discs they have previously released on their own? I have lost track. And, by coincidence after my viewing last night, Weird Science on 4k. That's not for me, but strange coincidence.

It's their most appealing slate in quite some time. Arrow haven't released any of the film noir set, so this is new for them. I've still to get their first two volumes in this series, but it's great to see a UK releases of Ride the Pink Horse.

I might be persuaded to get the Time Bandits 4K release. Maybe not the limited set, but I think I'll get the standard edition later on.

I watched Air again tonight, which I saw on its cinema release a couple of months ago. I thought it was terrific first time round and I enjoyed it just as much tonight. Still my favourite film of the year so far.

Next for me tonight was Marathon Man, which I last watched about six or seven years ago, although it's a film that leaves a lot of questions unanswered. And isn't entirely convincing. But it works in respect to being akin to the kind of wrong man thrillers Hitchcock specialised in.

Dustin Hoffman stars as a student and budding marathon runner who gets entangled in a conspiracy between government agents and a Nazi ring, with Laurence Olivier playing the Nazi who comes out of hiding to obtain valuable jewels.

How and why Hoffman's character gets entangled isn't entirely clear, but when he's in deep, the thrill is in seeing how he's going to get out. Even when incredulity and a dubious romance come into play.

Roy Scheider is good as a shadowy agent, although a smirking William Devane can only do so much with an underdeveloped role that finds him in similar territory. Whilst the film's best scene, in my opinion, isn't the famous dental scene, but one in which Oliver's character is recognised on a New York street.

Last night I also watched The Man on the Roof, Bo Windeberg's police procedural, which was heavily inspired by The French Connection. And the new Radiance Blu-ray offers the best presentation of this film that I've seen. It looks terrific.

The film is superb, though. Led by a fine cast, including Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt and Sven Wollter as police detectives hunting the killer of an unscrupulous colleague. It's taught, although talkative after the bloody murder at the start of the film, before the net closes in on the killer, who takes to a rooftop where he sets his sights on police officers below. It's one of the best thrillers made in Europe during the 1970s, in my opinion.

This afternoon I watched Lyle, Lyle Crocodile, a fun and good natured musical comedy that is undoubtedly inspired by Paddington, although there's shades of E.T. here, too. Although Hitchcock's The Lodger also came to mind at one point. And there's a obvious nod to Vertigo.

The titular Lyle is a young crocodile who is able to sing that is bought by a try-hard song and dance man, played by Javier Bardem, who sees this wonder - voiced by Shawn Mendes - as his key to stardom. Until Lyle gets stage fright and is left behind in the attic of a house that's leased by a young family with their son.

And it's the young son, played by Winslow Fegley, who discovers and befriends Lyle, changing his life for the better in the process. His parents, played by Constance Wu and Scoot McNairy, are soon in for a big surprise when Lyle is revealed, but they get on board and manage to keep him hidden whilst dodging an expectedly nosy neighbour.

It certainly isn't a patch on the Paddington films, but it's slight and charming enough, with Mendes ideal as the voice of Lyle, who sings, but never talks. Although he is able to communicate through his actions. And cook! It does skew towards a young audience, and it's played that way, with Bardem very broad, Fegley relatable no doubt, whilst Wu and McNairy are unchallenged by their roles. It's likable. And the songs are good.

Tonight I watched School's Out Forever, which is showing on Sky Cinema. This is a strange movie. Made in 2021, it's set for the most part in the middle of a pandemic in which only people with a certain blood type remain immune to the virus. Most of the film is set at a prestigious boys boarding school where the surviving boys and teachers have to fight for their survival against another group from outside who is threatening them (I'm trying to avoid spoilers here). What starts out looking like it's going to be a comedy in the style of Slaughterhouse Rulez is actually quite a dark film that moves more towards Lord of the Flies territory. It works well, and is good enough, but the look of a comedy at the start, moving swiftly into a very dark place, is rather jarring, and it's almost as if the writers decided to make a change halfway through filming. Even the title sets it up as perhaps an anarchic comedy. The most familiar face is probably Oscar Kennedy, who was most recently seen in BBC3's Wreck, a series I enjoyed very much. Sebastian Croft from Heartstopper also pops up here. Despite the shifts in tone, this is entertaining and enjoyable, and worth a look.

Last night I watched To Catch a Killer and also McQ, which is always pretty good for a late night film. Even if it isn't nearly among the best films John Wayne starred in. Or the best films directed by John Sturges.

It's very derivative of Bullitt, Dirty Harry, perhaps even Tony Rome, given that Wayne's McQ lives on a boat. Seattle is a good location, though, and Wayne is good, even if Sturges' direction wasn't as sharp as years gone by.

To Catch a Killer, which is new to Sky, stars Shailene Woodley as a young cop whose intelligence after a mass shooting catches the ear of the FBI lead investigator, played by Ben Mendelsohn. He brings her on board along with an FBI agent played by Jovan Adepo, to set up a small unit geared for swift action.

Unfortunately, they can't get any answers, although Woodley's character has ideas that are rooted in her own personal demons, which her fiercely ambitious new boss tries to mine. It's quite a procedural film, with more talk than action for long stretches, but it's also unfocused and Woodley's character isn't well developed as she's soon in at the deep end with an investigation nobody seems equipped to handle.

This said, Adepo's character is nothing more than a sketch, and whilst there are interesting aspects to Mendelssohn's investigator, he's often a mouthpiece for plot and speaks in the kind of clichés that only served to tell viewers what's written on the page as opposed to creating an truly believable character.

It isn't well written, and becomes a paint by numbers exercise as director and writer, Damián Szifron, is unable to get to the root of what drives Woodley's character, whilst the killer is left as a cipher practically unseen until a final act that's a bit of a shambles.

No film tonight, but I did manage to catch the wonderful tribute to Barry Humphries on BBC2 this evening. A really great piece of archival work by the BBC on this, with clips from really quite obscure shows going back decades.

I've talked about the German Filmjuwelen label a bit in recent weeks, and rarewaves have started selling their blu rays at about £15, including postage. I just picked up Mario Lanza's final film, For the First Time, for Mum's birthday from there. You just need to search "filmjuwelen" on the rarewaves website. Sadly, you have to wade through the dvds, too, when browsing!

One word of warning - films not originally in the English language don't have English subtitles. So, for example, Goodbye Lenin doesn't have English subs. All English language films have removable German subs, and both English and German audio options.

There are some interesting titles - including Foreign Correspondant (confusingly retitles "Mord") and The Spiral Staircase. Also some of the Lewton films, the 1951 Christmas Carol, Man Friday, Collosus of Rhodes, A Double Life, etc (but all retitled!).

The Rarewaves.com website is very frustrating, but I sorted filmjuwelen search by price, high to low, as once you get below £15, everything else if DVD.

Very nice. I'll have a look. I actually haven't seen Goodbye Lenin in a while now, so that's a film I'll have to revisit. I've only ever had it on DVD after seeing it on release. And talking of Lanza, I've still to get The Great Caruso from Warner Archive.

Don't get Goodbye Lenin from this version though, as I believe the spoken language is German (no subs!)

This afternoon I watched In the Good Old Summertime from Warner Archive, a 1949 musical with Judy Garland and Van Johnson. It's a relatively flimsy affair, but very enjoyable. There's a clear attempt to take elements of Meet Me in St Louis and try to recreate that success. A particular city is the setting (in this case Chicago). The story is told through the course of a year, with a different season for each section. There's a Christmas song in the middle of the film. Roughly the same period. I don't think these are coincidences. For a musicial, though, there's not all that much music (just six or seven numbers). And, oddly, the Last Night When We Were Young outtake isn't a bonus on the blu ray. Buster Keaton also appears here - and while he's not credited for it, quite clearly some of the slapstick sequences involving others bear his hallmarks. The blu ray looks excellent, and while it's not a stunning musical, it is very good and rather charming.

Last night, I revisited The Secret of the Blue Room from 1934, a murder mystery from Universal. I didn't think much of it last time - or this time, so that might go on the eBay pile. It's a very standard locked room mystery, told without much in the way of excitement or moments of interest. Lionel Atwill doesn't even make it a bit more thrilling.

Tonight, from the same year, I went back to Search for Beauty, which is one heck of an oddball that couldn't have been released just a few months later when the production code came in. Just out of prison a couple buy the rights to publish a health and fitness magazine, and bring on board two olympians as editors to add credibility. But then the owners turn the magazine into little more than an excuse for raunchy pictures. In order to stop the editors causing trouble, the owners give them a run down health farm, which they attempt to turn into a health hotel. It's as bonkers as hell, complete with references to sex and drugs, and a surprisingly long shot of rear male nudity (complete with towels being whipped). Buster Crabbe and Ida Lupino star, and both are charming and personable. The story is silly, but it's all great fun, especially the ten minute Busby Berkeley-style dance routine featuring dozens of men wearing nothing but trunks and women in rather tight "fitness costumes". The Kino blu ray looks great for the most part, and the film is also on the Internet Archive for anyone who fancies giving it a watch.

Last night I watched The Covenant, Blood & Gold, Layer Cake, and The Pledge. The first two are new to Amazon Prime and Netflix respectively, with The Covenant being Guy Ritchie's latest, and coming in quick succession after his previous release, Operation Fortune: Ruse Dr Guerre. Which is one of the worst films of the year so far, in my opinion.

The Covenant is much better. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as an army sergeant in Afghanistan whose job is to seek out Taliban cells during the final years of American deployment. He brings on a new interpreter, played by Dar Salim, after a trusted interpreter is killed on duty. The interpreter has issues with authority and quicky rubs Gyllenhaal's platoon leader up the wrong way, both with his intelligence and his individuality.

It's slow and stoic to begin with, and in making veiled points about the American presence in the region and how futile this often seems to be, The Covenant begins moving towards something more politically astute and stoic than the director is usually known for. But this doesn't last, as Gyllenhaal and Salim are left alone in the wilderness after an ambush that only one of them saw coming.

It's never taught in ways that it should be, especially when ineffective slow motion and then more slow motion starts to rear it's head, along with skewed camera angles and feverish editing, which is laid on far to thick. And whilst Gyllenhaal is good, it's Salim who stands out in what moves almost into Defiant Ones territory.

Unfortunately, the tone shifts from almost one scene to another, and missteps frequently along the way, whilst visually, The Covenant is quite banal. The narrative is propulsive, though. Up to a point. Whilst Ritchie's need to spell certain things out (literally on screen) is an insult to the film and the intelligence of viewers. He even explains what a covenant is in the end credits!

Blood & Gold is far more irreverent, being set at the tail end of World War II, with a band of Nazi desperadoes seeking a cache of hidden gold. Tonally, Peter Thowarth's latest film is clearly inspired by spaghetti westerns, both narratively and stylistically. As the story begins with a hanging and ends with a shootout.

Predominantly centred in and around a small town where the gold is hidden, it soon emerges that several parties have an interest in the gold, leading to deception, lies, and a lot of killing. It's stylised to be sure, and played to the hilt by all involved, including a completely audacious way of dispatching a disfigured Nazi general.

Subtle it's not, but it's a lot of fun, even if it needs tighter pacing and a more acute script with a few more laughs. But Marie Hacke is very good as the determined farmer's daughter who is good with a gun, and Robert Masser is fine as the deserter who has a reason to fight back. It would be a great companion piece to Dead Snow.

I watched Eastern Promises this afternoon, which is a film I liked tremendously when it was released and I've seen it several times, although it's been a while since the last time.

It's one of David Cronenberg's most contained films, and whilst it's far removed from the body horror Cronenberg specialises in, there's no shortage of violence and blood. And it starts with a throat being cut and a pregnant girl collapsing in a pool of blood as she reaches out for help.

The baby is born but the mother dies, however, one of the nurses attending to the birth - played by Naomi Watts - takes the mother's diary in the hope that her Russian uncle can translate. He's a curmudgeon, and initially is unwilling, but she also goes to a Russian restaurant for help, and unwittingly gets involved with gangsters who are deeply entrenched in London's crime scene.

The story is terrific and the cast is great, especially Viggo Mortensen, who has never been better. And whilst the Christmas time of year and a baby at the centre may sound familiar, this is a unique crime film, with keen performances from one and all. With this being a film about trust and reasons. But to say too much about quite a slender plot would spoil the film for anybody that hasn't seen it.

I revisited Vicious Fun this evening, which lives up to its name. A nerdy horror fan finds himself inadvertently walking in on a self-help group for serial killers. Chaos ensues. It's gory and silly and over the top - but it's meant to be, and it's clearly not taking itself seriously. The first fifteen minutes or so don't bode well, but it picks up quickly after that. Sadly it's not out on blu ray in the UK, so this was a US import (region A), but it is on the Shudder channel (and was made for them).

Talking of blu rays, something seems amiss at Rarewaves right now. I ordered something on Monday - not been sent yet. But the order I made on Wednesday has been. It's for a birthday present, and so wanted an update and can't get anything out of them other than pre-written paragraphs. I've not known them take more than 48 hours to send anything, and the item is in stock. There's no live chat etc, so you're completely stumped. It's very annoying and frustrating. As Weds order is on its way, it would suggest that there's a kink in the system somewhere, but no idea how to resolve it.

Rarewaves are usually pretty quick with their deliveries, although I can't remember if they've ever taken longer than 48 hours to dispatch anything I've ordered. Something tells me that they have, though. Have you checked their eBay or Amazon listings for alternate contact details? Or else there might be a delivery slip with the order that's on its way.

I watched The Parallax View last night, which is always entertaining and good to revisit, with Warren Beatty starring as the journalist who gets involved in an assassination plot. It's a very linear film, with Alan J. Pakula's direction and the film's frequent set pieces feeling as much inspired by Bond than other conspiracy theory thrillers of the era. Although it's certainly Hitchcockian, too.

In quick succession, there's a police raid and an assassination, which leads to a bar fight, a car chase, and practically anything Beatty's character goes near getting blown up. It's a film that might well have featured a cop or a detective had it not been made during the cynical mid-seventies. And considering how little Beatty is stretched, it's a role Burt Reynolds might have filled quite well.

There's some great location work and terrific sets, not to mention a keen eye for architecture. Whilst there's clearly a methodology at play in the plot at hand, although it doesn't entirely stand up to scrutiny. But it moves at a pace and is never dull. Good support from Hume Cronyn

When moving a DVD unit today, I found a DVD of Book of Love that had fallen behind it, and so watched that tonight. This was released in 1990, and is about a middle-aged man looking back on the summer of 1956. It's like a slightly raunchy version of The Wonder Years in many respects, but rather charming, it has to said, even if it's pretty predictable in many ways. It's directed by Robert Shaye (brother of Lin, who appears briefly in the movie - who knew that she was young once?), who didn't direct another film for 17 years. That next film was The Last Mimzy, the title of which seems familiar, but I can't recall it for some reason. Back to Book of Love, the cast do well with what they have to work with. Chris Young makes for a likeable lead and John Cameron Mitchell is excellent (later director of Hedwig and Shortbus) is excellent, although his role is relatively small. The soundtrack is the real star, from the title song to Heart of Stone, Earth Angel, The Fool, Little Darlin', Rip It Up, School Days, and Fools Fall in Love. Good fun, and at only 85 minutes, it doesn't outstay its welcome. The DVD is in surprisingly good quality, too, I might add, although I wouldn't mind grabbing a blu ray if one ever appears.

It's great to see Warner Archive expanding in the UK. The prices are really good.

Talking of Warner, their forthcoming Enter the Dragon limited edition 4K release is mighty tantalising. I don't think there are any new bonus features, so I might get the standard release instead. This is limited to 3000 copies worldwide, which is pretty low for this particular film, in my opinion. It might be pretty expensive in that case.

Funny back in the late 80s me and my baby sitter watched Big Boss , funny thing is it mightve also had the missing scenes (from Mandarin print) thats now turned up , not only that but I could swear it also had a "keyhole" scene (a guy or possibly the manager looking at Bruce & the hooker getting it on at the brothel)

Funny back in the late 80s me and my baby sitter watched Big Boss , funny thing is it mightve also had the missing scenes (from Mandarin print) thats now turned up , not only that but I could swear it also had a "keyhole" scene (a guy or possibly the manager looking at Bruce & the hooker getting it on at the brothel)
I also had that on VHS in the early-nineties. Plus the log scene on a video of Game of Death. I remember getting them from a market where they were being sold for around £20 or £25 each film.

Been looking forward to this release -- on 4K from Second Sight. It's a really nice set.
