Keyword View: 1970s DVD Review LIZ & DICK  Exploitive much? Lindsey Lohan brings her tabloid gravitas to a movie picking over the bones of the woman, whose life was the material of tabloid legend. Not very good as a biography, not very good as a movie, this film careens from cringeworthy to boring. For Lohan completists only (or maybe Grant Bowler fans). Read More... DVD Review BADLANDS (BLU-RAY)  Watching Terrence Malick's early-career classic with a young Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen never gets old, as there's always some tiny nuance to discover. Now, thanks to The Criterion Collection, the film sports a brand new 4K digital transfer, which is all the excuse I need to explore the film yet again. Read More... DVD Review SCHOOLGIRL HITCHHIKERS (BLU-RAY)  A film like Jean Rollin's bizarro Schoolgirl Hitchhikers is something of an acquired taste. If at all. But if you dig the sexy weirdness there's plenty to enjoy. Read More... DVD Review TROUBLED TEENS  There's generally a kitschy cool to educational shorts, but this batch of teen-themed material is often more of a downer than a laugh-fest. If you're a completist of the series you'll want to pick this up, otherwise I'd say not so much. Read More... PR Crossfire Hurricane: The Rise of the Stones to debut on HBO Nov 15  The Rolling Stones, the rock 'n' roll icons who have defined creativity, daring and durability, are to be chronicled in a kaleidoscopic new film that will debut Nov. 15 on HBO. With never-before-seen footage and fresh insights from the band themselves, the film will delight, shock and amaze longtime devotees, as well as another generation of fans, with its uniquely immersive style and tone. Crossfire Hurricane places the viewer right on the frontline of the band's most legendary escapades. Read More... PR Au Pair Girls on blu-ray Sep 25  Helmed by veteran director Val Guest this '70s British sex comedy about four girls who come to London to work in au pair jobs and immerse themselves in the wild lifestyles of swinging London. Read More... PR Bob Dylan and the Band: Down In The Flood on DVD Sep 25  Features rare footage, archive interviews, seldom seen photographs and the music that changed the world, all at once making for the finest program on this element of Bob Dylan and The Band's respective and communal careers yet to emerge. Read More... PR Piranha 3DD on 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD Sep 4  Stars Danielle Panabaker, Katrina Bowden, David Koechner, David Hasselhoff , Christopher Lloyd, and Gary Busey. Directed by John Gulager and written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. The film incorporates the classic elements of the teen horror/exploitation movies of the 1970s, packed with ferocious flesheaters, scantily-clad young victims, and bizarre and exciting twists and turns. Whereas Piranha 3D took place on a lake, the 2012 sequel is set at a water park, complete with water slides and a lazy river - the perfect places for piranha mayhem! Read More... PR All In The Family: The Complete Series on DVD Oct 30  A 28-Disc box set of one the most beloved and groundbreaking television shows of all time. The first-ever box set release of the show contains all 213 episodes, uncut and in their original broadcast form. A wealth of bonus features includes a 40-page collectible book with essays by Pulitzer Prize-winning TV critic Tom Shales and USC Media Professor Marty Kaplan, a new interview with Norman Lear, the documentary Those Were The Days: The Birth Of 'All In The Family.' Read More... PR The Kent Chronicles on DVD Jul 31  Follow the fortunes of a young Frenchman (Andrew Stevens) as he immigrates to America during the Revolutionary War and crosses paths with historical heavyweights including Paul Revere (William Shatner), Benjamin Franklin (Tom Bosley), Samuel Adams (William Daniels), and George Washington (Peter Graves). Nominated for two Emmys and a Golden Globe and broadcast in the late 1970s Read More... DVD Review BURKE & HARE (BLU-RAY)  This is a curiosity, if nothing else. It is a fairly straightforward recitation of the legend of those famous 1800s-era-Scotland/dead-body-sellers William Burke and William Hare, mixed with some tired attempts at humor and frequent nudity. Read More... PR Steve Martin: The Television Stuff on DVD Sep 18  In the 1970s, Steve Martin exploded onto the national scene with a brand of comedy that was so anti-hip it was ueber hip. But before he turned into a movie star, he'd cemented his legend as a television star and stand-up comedian. Now, for the first time, Martin's long in-demand television specials and stand-up comedy performances -- along with a 24-page booklet and bonus features -- will have you laughing all over again! Read More... DVD Review HAROLD AND MAUDE (BLU-RAY)  Harold and Maude wears its distinctly offbeat look at life, love and death proudly, and this one has not lost a step in the 41 years since its release.
Read More... PR The Lina Wertmuller Collection on DVD Jun 19  The Lina Wertmuller Collection: The Seduction of Mimi (1972), Love & Anarchy (1973) and All Screwed Up (1974). Acclaimed as one of the leading filmmakers of the 1970s, Wertmueller demonstrates her equal skills at both rollicking comedy and rich drama with this trio of classics made during the height of her career. Read More... DVD Review THE INNKEEPERS (BLU-RAY)  After the well-deserved genre success of 1970s-era retro throwback The House of the Devil - which was followed by the colossal mess that was Cabin Fever 2 - writer/director Ti West gets creative control again with The Innkeepers. Gladly this 'haunted hotel' flick doesn't try to be some sort of reimagined The Shining, and West shows some dandy chops building tension slowly and effectively with a minimum of so-called 'money shots'.
Read More... DVD Review 42ND STREET FOREVER  If the thought of nearly four hours of B-movie trailers from the late 1960s/early 1970s - blaxploitation, sexploitation, martial arts, horror, sci-fi, vengeance, etc - gets you as giddy as it does me then the 42nd Street Forever: The Blu-Ray Edition from Synapse is necessary viewing.
Read More... PR Ganja & Hess on DVD and Blu-ray May 8  In one of his few screen appearances, reclusive actor Duane Jones (Night of the Living Dead) stars as anthropologist Hess Green, who is stabbed with an ancient ceremonial dagger by his unstable assistant (Gunn), endowing him with the blessing of immortality, and the curse of an unquenchable thirst for blood. When the assistant's beautiful and outspoken wife Ganja (Marlene Clark in an unforgettable performance) comes searching for her vanished husband, she and Hess form an unexpected partnership. Together, they explore just how much power there is in the blood. Read More... PR Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids: The Complete Series on DVD This Summer  This 16-DVD box set features nearly 40 hours of content, including all 110 episodes of Fat Albert and the Cosby kids (36 episodes), The New Fat Albert Show (24 episodes) and The Adventures of Fat Albert and the Cosby kids (50 episodes), of which seasons 2 - 4 have never before been released on DVD before. Special features include commentary and a documentary on the history of Fat Albert by Bill Cosby and a 20-page book featuring an essay by Dr. Gordon Berry, the show's educational advisor.
