Johnny Deadline: Coming Attractions

 by JB

The 4K Blu-ray release of Major League last week (along with the regular Blu-ray and DVD release of The Iron Claw) almost escaped me. I don’t keep up with physical media releases as much as I used to, perhaps because there are fewer and fewer must-own physical media releases in our new, crazy, streaming-and-screaming, virtual eco-sphere.

Movies is Good: Criterion, Criterion, Criterion

 by JB

Come with me now, as a man old enough to have collected shiny Criterion laser discs talks you through that top dog on that top rung of that ladder we call the top banana: this year’s Barnes & Noble Criterion sale-a-bration and ether frolic.

Celluloid Ramblings: WILLIAM CASTLE AT COLUMBIA Vol. II

by JB

Okay, I’m a little disappointed that the box does not include a plastic ZOTZ coin or a tiny, bloody cardboard axe… but the strengths of this second box set more than make up for that.
