As someone mildly obsessed with this time in New York’s history, I was already drawn to Cruising, but the fantastic remaster and commentary make this a must-buy despite the other bonus content being somewhat scant.

With this robust amount of content – combined with the fantastic restoration, the Arrow Video release for Alice, Sweet Alice is absolutely top notch and one that I highly recommend picking up.

It was a joy revisiting this quintessential ’80s film, and while it doesn’t hold up as well as some other classics of the decade, Arrow did a great job restoring it and presenting a lovingly crafted package celebrating this piece of comedy history in a definitive edition.

It may have a dreadful script, a soft-core porn soundtrack, rough performances and an aesthetic that looks a decade too old, but all these elements add to the cheesy fun.

While the script is a bit on the sparse side, The Loveless additionally showcases some incredible talent behind the camera with Bigelow and Montgomery’s direction.

Packed to the brim with an overwhelming amount of music, John A. Alonzo’s comedy FM plays like the Baby-Boomer version of Rock ‘n’ Roll High School (released a year later), though it carries only a fraction of the same energy.
Arrow Video has announced their lineup for July 2019, with new releases of John A. Alonzo‘s FM, Kathryn Bigelow‘s The Loveless, Mitchell Leisen‘s Hold Back The Dawn, Christopher Webster‘s The Chill Factor, and John Hughes‘ Weird Science.

Despite another quality release from Arrow, Scared Stiff is not a title I could see myself revisiting in the future, and even its over-the-top climax can’t save it from being a relatively mediocre experience, albeit one that I could see many other horror fans enjoying.

Instead of an irrelevant title like The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire, this probably should have been called The Red Herring, as that’s what the film is primarily comprised of.

Based on a popular manga by Yu Sasuga, the concept of Terra Formars seems perfectly suited for a director like the legendary Takashi Miike, someone who is no stranger to both manga adaptations and bizarre storylines.
Originally released in 2016, this live-action
Arrow Video has announced their lineup for April 2019, with new Blu-ray editions of Takashi Miike‘s Terra Formars, Riccardo Freda‘s The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire, Enzo G. Castellari‘s Keoma, Alain Resnais‘ Mélo, Richard Friedman‘s Scared Stiff, and Aleksey German‘s Khrustalyov,

As usual, Arrow knocked it out of the park with this release, but the film itself is a bit average aside from the presence of Edwige Fenech.
