The Long Good Friday (#26)

Criterion | 1980 | 114 min | Not Rated
Directed by John Mackenzie

A combustible performance from Bob Hoskins is the fuse that lights this underworld saga, a landmark of British crime cinema. Hoskins plays Harold Shand, an ambitious London mobster who, just as he attempts to close a major real-estate deal with the American Mafia, finds his crime empire rocked by a string of attacks, sending him on a ruthless quest to find out who’s responsible. Abetted by an ice-cool performance from Helen Mirren as Shand’s in-command moll, The Long Good Friday is not only a gripping gangster thriller but also a vivid portrait of late-1970s Britain—a powder keg of cultural and political tensions on the verge of explosion.

The Chronicles Of Riddick

Arrow | 2004 | 1 Movie, 2 Cuts | 109 min | Not Rated
Directed by David Twohy

Following the sleeper success of their breakthrough sci-fi/horror smash Pitch Black, writer-director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel reunited for 2004’s action-packed The Chronicles of Riddick, an expansive and ambitious sequel that took their eponymous antihero to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

Riddick (Diesel) is an intergalactic fugitive whose dark past catches up with him when he is lured out of hiding by Imam (Keith David, The Thing), another survivor of the planet of horrors they barely escaped from five years earlier. Now out of the shadows, Riddick is identified by an ethereal emissary (Academy Award winner Dame Judi Dench) as the descendant of an ancient race of warriors who may be the universe’s last hope against the Necromongers, an evil army of fanatics intent on bending the world to their will. As enemies close in on all sides, including the ruthless Lord Marshal (Colm Feore, Thor) and his scheming lieutenant Vaako (Karl Urban, The Boys), Riddick finds himself a reluctant saviour of the cosmos, with only his razor-sharp wits and cunning killer instinct standing in the way of total annihilation.

Friday The 13th

Arrow | 2009 | 1 Movie, 2 Cuts | 106 min | Rated R
Directed by Marcus Nispel

In 2003, director Marcus Nispel made a lasting impression on horror fans with his box-office-topping remake The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Six years later, he turned his camera to another slasher icon, none other than the hulking masked killer Jason Voorhees, in his gore-soaked remake of Friday the 13th.

A group of oblivious teenagers choose Camp Crystal Lake as the destination for a weekend getaway. Among them, the young Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki, Supernatural) is not looking for fun and frolics, but for his sister Whitney who disappeared around the lake six weeks earlier. The trip turns into a waking nightmare as the bloodthirsty Jason emerges from the shadows, wielding a deadly machete and out for blood. Cut off from civilization, these youths discover too late that Crystal Lake bears the scars of a violent past as they uncover the terrifying events that spurred the masked killer’s quest for violent vengeance.

Torso

Arrow | 1973 | 94 min | Not Rated
Directed by Sergio Martino

A talented and versatile journeyman, director Sergio Martino (The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key) lent his talents to multiple genres across his long and varied career, but is undoubtedly best known for his giallo thrillers from the early 70s. Among the most highly acclaimed of these, 1973’s Torso revels in the genre’s time-honored traditions while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the modern slasher movie.

A sex maniac is prowling the streets of Perugia, targeting the picturesque university town’s female students. Alarmed at the plummeting life expectancy of the student body, Jane (Suzy Kendall, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) and her three friends elope to a secluded country villa – only to discover that, far from having left the terror behind, they’ve brought it with them!

Also known as Carnal Violence, Torso was released in Italy towards the end of the giallo boom before enjoying a second life on the American grindhouse circuit. Co-starring Tina Aumont (Salon Kitty) and Luc Merenda (The Violent Professionals), the film finds its director at the top of his game, delivering copious levels of violence, sleaze, and one of the tensest cat-and-mouse games ever committed to celluloid!

Kino Lorber | 1950-1954 | 3 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Mitchell Leisen & Lewis Allen

This collection features three film noir classics. CAPTAIN CAREY, U.S.A. (1950) – Screen legend Alan Ladd (Lucky Jordan) plays the title role in this outstanding noir tale of a former OSS operative who returns to Italy after the war to avenge the death of resistance worker Giulia (Wanda Hendrix, Sierra)—only to find out that his “deceased” lover is not only still alive, but also now the wife of a powerful Italian baron (Francis Lederer, Midnight). Carey decides to stick around, hoping to flush out the traitor who had caused the wartime deaths of several of his OSS colleagues and resistance fighters. Enhanced by the musical number “Mona Lisa,” which won an Academy Award (Best Original Song, 1950) and later became an all-time classic. Directed by Hollywood great Mitchell Leisen (No Man of Her Own). APPOINTMENT WITH DANGER (1951) – Ladd is back as the U.S. Mail’s Ace Agent Smashes the Biggest Mail Robbery Plan in History! Screen legend Alan Ladd (Chicago Deadline) is Postal Inspector Al Goddard, assigned to investigate the murder of a fellow officer. The only witness to the crime is Sister Augustine (Phyllis Calvert, Time Out of Mind), who identifies the photograph of one of the assailants. This leads Goddard to a seedy hotel where he learns that the assailant is a member of a gang headed by Earl Boettiger (Paul Stewart, Kiss Me Deadly), and he soon discovers that the gang is planning a million-dollar mail robbery. This taut and thrilling film noir also features Jan Sterling (Female on the Beach) and future Dragnet stars, Jack Webb and Harry Morgan, as Stewart’s henchmen. Directed by noir master Lewis Allen (So Evil My Love). MAKE HASTE TO LIVE (1954) – Only a Gangster Killer Knew the Secret of Her Past! In this taut noir melodrama, Crystal (Dorothy McGuire, The Spiral Staircase) has unknowingly married a murderer. She knew Steve (Stephen McNally, The Raging Tide) was handsome and charming. But by the time she discovered he was a cold-blooded killer, it was too late: he had already become her husband. So she ran like never before, and built herself a new life together with her daughter. And years later, when she learns that Steve had been jailed for murder, Crystal thought she was safe. But when Steve is released from prison, he has a deadly reunion in mind. With Mary Murphy (The Wild One) and Edgar Buchanan (Human Desire), Make Haste to Live was the final feature film by veteran director William A. Seiter (Hot Saturday).

Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XXI

(Cloak and Dagger | Shack Out On 101 | Short Cut to Hell)

Kino Lorber | 1946-1957 | 3 Movies | 275 min
Directed by Michael Pressman

CLOAK AND DAGGER (1946) – The Moment He Fell in Love Was His Moment of Greatest Danger! From legendary director Fritz Lang (Scarlet Street, The Big Heat), one of the grand architects of film noir, comes an engrossing WWII spy thriller years ahead of its time. The great Gary Cooper (High Noon) is an American nuclear physicist, recruited by the Office of Strategic Services and parachuted into war-torn Europe to obtain military secrets. But the deeper he probes, the deadlier his mission becomes…especially when his involvement with a mysterious resistance fighter (Lilli Palmer, Body and Soul) catapults him into an intense maelstrom of danger, betrayal, romance and murder. The fourth and final of Lang’s classic anti-Nazi films, following Man Hunt, Hangmen Also Die! and Ministry of Fear, Cloak and Dagger is the quintessential wartime suspense picture, elevated by Sol Polito’s (Sergeant York) terrific black-and-white cinematography and Max Steiner’s (Gone with the Wind) rousing score. SHACK OUT ON 101 (1955) – On the Shady Side of the Highway! Check into a hotbed of lethal cloak and dagger with the great Lee Marvin (Prime Cut), Terry Moore (Come Back, Little Sheba) and Frank Lovejoy (The Hitch-Hiker) in Shack Out on 101. An attractive waitress (Moore) at a seaside café gets caught in a web of treacherous intrigue when she discovers that her workplace is a secret station for spies. It seems that the café is close to an experimental lab that harbors national defense secrets, and a ring of sinister spies has come to steal them. Now it’s up to the desperate waitress and a network of undercover FBI men to stop the diabolical scheme. But not before they all stop along the way for a sizzling round of passion and romance! Featuring Keenan Wynn (Point Blank) and Whit Bissell (He Walked by Night), this one-of-a-kind potboiler comes stylishly directed by cult filmmaker Edward Dein (Curse of the Undead) and beautifully shot in glorious black-and-white by Floyd Crosby (High Noon). SHORT CUT TO HELL (1957) – Professional Killer…with a Gun for Hire! The first and only directorial effort by legendary actor James Cagney (White Heat, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye), Short Cut to Hell is a steamy, gritty remake of the Alan Ladd starrer This Gun for Hire, based on a novel by the great Graham Greene (The Third Man). Hardboiled hitman Kyle Niles (Robert Ivers, The Delicate Delinquent) is hired to commit two murders, only to be double-crossed by his employer Bahrwell (Jacques Aubuchon, Thunder Road). On the lam and seeking revenge, Kyle kidnaps singer Glory Hamilton (Georgann Johnson, Midnight Cowboy), the girlfriend of the police detective in charge of his pursuit (William Bishop, The Boss). Glory tries to convince him to surrender before it’s too late, but Kyle’s humanity is buried deep, and his thirst for vengeance is unquenchable. Destiny joined them…The Devil took over from there! As Cagney himself states in the film’s opening, Ivers and Johnson are two “fresh, exciting young talents” who anchor this fiery film noir.

Top Cat: The Complete Series

Warner Bros. | 1961-1962 | Season 1 | 749 min | Not Rated
Directed by Joseph Barbera & William Hanna

In the tradition of great screen conmen-one of the few with a visible tail- TOP CAT holds a top spot in the hearts of classic animation fans. The second of Hanna-Barbera’s prime-time network animated sitcoms, TOP CAT debuted on ABC television on Wednesday September 27, 1961. The series only ran for one season in prime-time, but continued to be popular through a mix of continued Saturday morning network reruns and syndication for more than three decades thereafter. Arnold Stang provided the voice of the smooth-talking New York City cat, known as T.C. to his gang of cohorts Benny the Ball, Choo Choo, Spook, The Brain and Fancy Fancy. These cats were always on the make toward a big score or swindle. And the bothersome – and ever exasperated- Office Dibble (voiced by legendary character actor Allen Jenkins) is relentlessly on Top Cat’s case (although always one step behind). This 4-disc Blu-ray set contains all 30 original episodes, newly remastered in 1080p HD from 4K scans off the original camera negatives, with the series offering top-shelf entertainment for fans. More than 60 years after it debuted, TOP CAT continues to be a comic delight of animated fun for audiences of all ages.
