Blu-ray reviews of three takes on suburban paranoia: Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block (Sony), Tom Holland’s Fright Night (Twilight Time), and J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 (Paramount), plus some Editorius Blathorious regarding review updates + upcoming film projects (mine, not yours).
Season 1 review of Richard Roxburgh’s Rake (2010), one of the best shows to emerge from Australia, if not the most deliciously dark-witted in recent years.
Lengthy review of Warner Home Video’s new Blu-ray of Mutiny on the Bounty, the 1962 Ultra Panavision 70 version that’s aged quite well in spite of piquant Brandoisms and some fudging of historic facts.
Flower power, or is the simple enjoyment of something white, purple, and green enough to cut through holiday and day-to-day bullshit (if just for a precious while)? Seasonal editorial blather, with actual profanity!
News of the special features to appear on Twilight Time’s upcoming Picnic and The Roots of Heaven Blu-rays, plus CD reviews of Bear McCreary’s The Cape and Alfred Newman’s A Certain Smile La-La Land), and Ludovic Bource’s The Artist and the compilation album for The Descendants (Sony Classical).
