One False Move (#1187)

Criterion | 1992 | 105 min | Rated R
Directed by Carl Franklin

A small-town police chief (Bill Paxton) concealing an explosive secret. A pair of ruthless drug dealers (cowriter Billy Bob Thornton and Michael Beach) who leave a bloody trail in their wake as they make their way from Los Angeles to Arkansas. And an enigmatic woman (Cynda Williams) caught in the middle. The way these desperate lives converge becomes a masterclass in slow-burn tension thanks to the nuanced direction of Carl Franklin, whose haunting film travels a crooked road across America’s most fraught divisions—urban and rural, Black and white—while imbuing noir conventions with a wrenching emotional depth.

Blood Money: Four Classic Westerns

($10,000 Blood Money / Vengeance is Mine / Find a Place to Die / ¡Mátalo! Kill Him)

Arrow | 1967-1970 | 4 Movies | 360 min | Not Rated
Directed by Cesare Canevari, Romolo Guerrieri, Giuliano Carnimeo, & Giovanni Fago

In the mid-1960s, the runaway success of Sergio Leone’s “Dollars” trilogy gave rise to an explosion of similar productions. Filmmakers by the dozen sought to capitalize on this new, uniquely Italian take on the western, which was characterized by their deeply cynical outlook, morally compromised antiheroes and unflinching depictions savage violence. This specially curated selection gathers together four outstanding examples of the genre from the height of its popularity, all centered around the theme of blood money.

In Romolo Guerrieri’s $10,000 Blood Money (1967; a.k.a. $10,000 for a Massacre), Gianni Garko – best known for his portrayal of supernatural gunslinger Sartana – takes on the part of another beloved western antihero, Django, who is on the trail of bandit Manuel Vasquez (Claudio Camaso, A Bay of Blood). But what started as a job for hire soon turns personal, with Django swearing vengeance against the unscrupulous outlaw. Then, in the film’s spiritual successor, Giovanni Fago’s Vengeance is Mine (1967; a.k.a. $100,000 for a Killing), Garko and Camaso once again lead the cast, this time as estranged half-brothers – one a Confederate soldier now riding with renegade outlaws, the other a bounty hunter tasked with bringing him in alive.

Next, in Giuliano Carnimeo’s Find a Place to Die (1968), Jeffrey Hunter (The Searchers) plays Joe Collins, a disgraced former soldier who assembles a ragtag band of scoundrels. They are lured into helping a woman (Pascale Petit, A Queen for Caesar) to rescue her prospector husband, who is trapped at their gold mine cave-in – though in reality, they have designs on the gold strike themselves. Finally, in Cesare Canevari’s psychedelic Matalo! (Kill Him) (1970), double- and triple-crosses abound as a band of outlaws, having holed up in an isolated ghost town, set about terrorizing travelers Ray (Lou Castel, Orgasmo) and Bridget (Ana María Mendoza, 7 Women for the MacGregors) – only to get more than they bargained for when Ray fights back, armed only with his weapon of choice: a bag full of boomerangs.

A Dandy In Aspic

Kino Lorber | 1968 | 107 min | Not Rated
Directed by Anthony Mann & Laurence Harvey

Laurence Harvey (The Manchurian Candidate), Tom Courtenay (Doctor Zhivago) and Mia Farrow (Rosemary’s Baby) star in this thought-provoking Cold War thriller about the dangerous and oftentimes lonely world of espionage. Russian double agent Alexander Eberlin (Harvey) has long been posing as a British spy in England, but, feeling like a “man without a country,” he wishes to return to his motherland. His request for a transfer is denied, however, and his life is further complicated when British Intelligence assigns him and his cold-blooded boss (Courtenay) to travel to East Berlin and eliminate his Russian counterpart and friend. Living a life of lies, Eberlin comes to the painful realization that he has no allies—and no way out.

The film features the elegantly chic Mia Farrow, along with Harry Andrews (The Deadly Affair), Peter Cook (Bedazzled) and a soundtrack by music legend Quincy Jones (In the Heat of the Night). A Dandy in Aspic was begun under the direction of the great Anthony Mann (T-Men, The Naked Spur, El Cid); when Mann passed away during production, Laurence Harvey completed the film.

A Douglas Fairbanks Double Feature

(Robin Hood / The Black Pirate)

Cohen Media Group | 1922-1926 | 2 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Allan Dwan & Albert Parker

A big-screen spectacle that ranks as one of the monumental accomplishments of the silent era, ROBIN HOOD is a timeless story of romance and intrigue, staged on a herculean scale. Its sets were erected by an army of 500 carpenters and towered 90 feet in the air, covering acres of land – historically accurate to the smallest detail. For this restoration, a full frame 35MM fine grain positive was scanned at 4K, with 175 hours of digital clean-up at 2K completed.

Shot in two-strip Technicolor, Fairbanks had conceived of THE BLACK PIRATE years before it was finally made. According to Fairbanks biographer Jeffrey Vance, it was “the most carefully prepared and controlled of Fairbanks’s entire career,” certainly in no small part due to the expense and limitations of the early color process. The resulting film earned high praise from The New York Times, which praised its “unrivalled beauty…mindful of the paintings of the old masters.” A 35MM color negative was mastered in HD for this presentation.

SPECIAL FEATURES
  • NEW 4K RESTORATION OF ROBIN HOOD

In an epic tale of passion, heroism, love, betrayal and war that has that has been passed from generation to generation since the dawn of civilization, one woman possesses a beauty that launches a thousand ships and sparks a war that destroys the greatest city of its age–Helen of Troy.

My Best Friend Is A Vampire

(VESTRON VIDEO COLLECTOR’S SERIES #30)

Lionsgate Films | 1987 | 89 min | Rated PG
Directed by Jimmy Huston

Vampirism isn’t all the horror it’s made out to be, it’s just an alternative lifestyle! You drink a bit of and get to live ten times longer than anyone else. Nothing to it. At least that’s what Jeremy Capello (Robert Sean Leonard, House M.D.) thinks when he gets a deep love-bite from a hot date. Before he knows it, his reflection in the bathroom mirror has vanished, he can’t stand the smell of garlic and he’s developed an overwhelming passion for raw steak!

Things don’t seem to bad until the arrival of maniac vampire hunter Professor McCarthy (David Warner, Titanic). He’s “staking out” Jeremy, and the future doesn’t look so bright. Anything can happen, and it does, in this hilarious comedy that gives a whole new meaning to the word “nightlife.”
