  1. DVD Review: 'Phantasm' sequel comes scary with extras

    I can't really explain why I love the 1988 “Phantasm II” (written and directed by Don Coscarelli, whose recent “John Dies at the End” is so far this year's most entertaining film). It runs counter to every analytical notion I hold for what makes a good horror film.

  2. DVD Review: The classic 'On the Waterfront' surfaces

    You don't have to approve of Elia Kazan's testimony before HUAC to recognize his 1954 “On the Waterfront” as a brilliant film, whose influence changed the face of American movies. Somehow both lyrical and hard-edged at the same time, this tale of mobsters on the docks of Hoboken won in almost all of the most important Oscar categories.

  3. DVD Review: 'Lawrence of Arabia' looks great on Blu-ray

    David Lean's 1962 “Lawrence of Arabia” is one of the most universally praised films ever made, and deservedly so. Nominated for 10 Oscars, winner of seven (including Best Picture), it has only grown better with time. The few aspects that might signal its age are its lack of fancy special effects, its non-surround audio, and Peter O'Toole's boyish face. But its presentation of the roots of modern conflicts in the Mideast seems more relevant and important as time goes on. It is a prerequisite to understanding many of the headlines of this year (and last year ... and the one before that ... etc.).

  4. DVD Review: 'Seven Psychopaths' falls short on extras

    For whatever reason, Martin McDonagh's “Seven Psychopaths” — one of the best films of last year — didn't find its audience. The poster was both blah and misleading, and it probably didn't help that this gun-rich, blood-soaked comedy came out less than three months after the Aurora massacre.

  5. Blu-ray Review: A bit of a 'Titanic' waste

    There are literally dozens of movies about the Titanic; this 1953 Hollywood version is one of the three best-known (the other two being Roy Ward Baker's “A Night to Remember” and James Cameron's modest little 1997 chamber drama). Like Cameron, director Jean Negulesco (Fox's go-to guy for melodrama at the time), writer/producer Charles Brackett (after the severing of his amazing 12-year collaboration with Billy Wilder), and co-writers Walter Reisch and Richard Breen focused primarily on the romantic lives of fictional characters. Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb are the central pair, with Robert Wagner and Audrey Dalton representing young love.

  6. DVD Review: Don't dread watching 'Dredd'

    "Dredd," also known under certain circumstances as "Dredd 3D," is one of several films last year that seemed "better than they had any right to be." This semi-compliment most frequently applies to movies — particularly remakes, gratuitous sequels, adaptations of beloved or barely remembered TV shows — that are really not that bad.

  7. DVD Review: Old Jackie Chan movie package not very good, but for a good price

    This odd (but pleasantly low-priced) new release might be called "Jackie Chan's Most Uncharacteristic Hits." Both showcase Jackie in almost totally non-comic contexts. By definition then, these are not in the league of the "Police Story," "Project A" or...

  8. DVD review: Doomsday portrayed in three parts

    When “The Last Stand,” Arnold Schwarzenegger's comeback film, is released on Jan. 18, Kim Jee-woon (“A Tale of Two Sisters,” “The Good, the Bad, the Weird”) will become the first Korean director to break into Hollywood. A few weeks later, Park Chan-wook (“Oldboy,” “Thirst”) becomes the second, with “Stoker” (with Nicole Kidman); and not too long thereafter they will be joined by Bong Joon-ho (“The Host”) with “Snowpiercer,” starring Chris Evans and Jamie Bell.

  9. DVD review: Highsmith steals a part of your life with 'Purple Noon'

    Some 40 years before Matt Damon played the title character in Anthony Minghella's “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” Alain Delon played the same role in Rene Clement's 1960 “Purple Noon,” adapted from the same novel by Patricia Highsmith (“Strangers on a Train,” “The Cry of the Owl”).

  10. DVD review: Hitchcock classic welcomed to Blu-ray

    Thanks to the vagaries of distribution, Alfred Hitchcock's black-and-white 1934 “The Man Who Knew Too Much” has arrived on an affordable Blu-ray earlier than the director's better-known Technicolor 1956 remake, which is available only as part of Universal's expensive 15-film “Masterpiece Collection.”

  11. DVD review: 'Ted' is a vulgar display of good humor

    If you're offended by naughty language, you don't want to watch “Ted.” Seth MacFarlane's first feature is off-color throughout; it also made me laugh as much as any other film this year. MacFarlane (“Family Guy,” “American Dad!”) not only wrote and directed; he also provides the voice of the title character, a teddy bear who comes to life to answer a little boy's wish.

  12. DVD review: Holy excess marketing, Batman

    If you saw "The Dark Knight Rises" in the theater, you already know whether (like me) you are a fan of the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Even if you didn't see it, you probably have an inkling of whether you'll want to buy it on disc. To all of you, one can only sneeringly say, “Good luck and happy shopping!”
