ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): Indicator's Five Tall Tales: Budd Boetticher & Randolph Scott At Columbia, 1957-1960 Five Blu-ray set will contend for the best of the year. A stacked package, looking beautiful and the films are iconic western masterpieces. Don't miss out on this Region FREE gem! I was also very keen on Roger Donaldson's impacting Smash Palace on Region FREE Arrow Blu-ray. Unforgettable New Zealand cinema. Juhn Jai-hong's Gifted is a flawed thriller but has some merit - on Blu-ray from 88 Films. Bloodsuckers From Outer Space is a silly slice of home made regional genre filmmaking. Good for a chuckle on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome. No DVD reviews - maybe next week!.
