Full transparency: all Blu-rays reviewed were provided by Kino Lorber and Criterion.
After last month’s technical gaff that lead me to record my reviews straight from the dome, I decided to stick with the audio format and spice it up a little. However, I’m still here to give you what insight I have to this month’s Blu-ray releases. It’s a small but solid crop of movies: a wickedly fun made-for-TV movie helmed by one of the more well-respected horror directors and starring one of Hollywood’s finest actresses; an irreverent comedy/thriller getting the Blu-ray treatment for the first time since getting dumped to streaming over six years ago; a suspenseful and thrilling WWII film starring Burt Lancaster and God’s most perfect co-star, a train; and finally a documentary that became an instant classic after debuting back in 2018 to critical acclaim and has grown more resonant as the years have passed.
It was fun recording this and I hope that you maybe find something worth checking out in this month’s batch of Blu’s.
