![]() ![]() Although his career had a long, alcoholism-fueled twilight, in the 1920s he redefined film comedy. The biggest of these is.Silent film star Buster Keaton died on February 1, 1966, 50 years ago Monday. Some are pretty obvious choices, as we had a few limited releases that broke into the mainstream during their theatrical releases, but there are also a few more films that slipped beneath the radar the last time around. After checking out first run releases and franchise box sets in Part I and TV on DVD releases in Part II, this week we look at limited releases, classics, and foreign films. We are getting closer and closer to Christmas and we are getting to the crunch time for gift shopping. The screener arrived late, but it was worth it. However, I'm going with Mustang on DVD or Blu-ray Combo Pack as the Pick of the Week. Buster Keaton: The Shorts Collection 1917-1923 on Blu-ray tops that list. That's not to say there are no contenders, but they come from catalog releases, TV on DVD, etc. There are not a lot of first-run releases on this week's list and none that are contenders for Pick of the Week. This list should be longer than last week, but hopefully I won’t go overboard. Both are absolute must haves, but Arrival’s Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack have far more extras and it is the Pick of the Week.Ģ016 - Holiday Gift Guide - Part III - Limited Releases, Classics, Foreign ImportsĪfter dealing with first-run releases and TV on DVD releases, we come to the instalment of our Holiday Gift Guide that deals with limited releases, classics, and foreign imports. This leaves just two contenders for Pick of the Week: Arrival and The Edge of Seventeen. Unfortunately, two of those releases, Doctor Strange and Moonlight, are VOD only. It is an interesting week with four top-notch releases. Home Market Releases for February 14th, 2017 However, I’m also interested in The Great Buster, Private Life, Trouble, and Heavy Trip. This includes The Hate U Give, which is the biggest release of the week. We are getting really close to Awards Season and there are some top-notch films on this week’s list that could pick up some major nominations. Limited and VOD Releases: Don’t Hate Limited Releases On the other hand, Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles and Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool could do well on the art house scene. There are several releases on this week’s list earning amazing reviews, including Brittany Runs a Marathon, which has the best shot at attracting a mainstream audience. Limited and VOD Releases: Run to the Theaters Fortunately, it is also the best DVD / Blu-ray release of the week and was the only real contender for Pick of the Week. It’s a really slow week with Crawl being the biggest release of the week, and it wasn’t a monster hit at the box office. Home Market Releases for October 15th, 2019 However, the best choice is The Cameraman: The Criterion Collection on Blu-ray. We have two massive box sets that are worth picking up. Pretty in Pink is making its Blu-ray debut. Fortunately, while there’s little in the way of quantity, there’s some serious quality this week. Theater closings three months ago are now having a knock-on effect on the home market, as every major theatrical release of 2020 has hit the home market in one form or another, so until theaters are fully open again, no major new theatrical hits will arrive on the home market. ![]() New on Disc: The Cameraman gets a Well-Deserved Criterion Collection ReleaseĪ lot of people and industries are suffering because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the entertainment industry is among the hardest hit. The Cameraman is the best movie on this week’s list, but the Blu-ray is the better deal than a VOD rental. The indie drama The Short History of the Long Road is earning a lot of praise. Roger Waters Us + Them is worth the money for fans of Pink Floyd. ![]() The Soul Collector should please fans of low-budget horror movies. ![]() However, almost everyone should find something worth watching. There are a lot of smaller releases on this week’s list and nothing that truly stands out as a potential hit. ![]()
