ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): We have two large Criterion boxsets covered this week. As a reviewer I found them both overwhelming in their own way... the three Blu-ray collection Trilogía de Guillermo del Toro brings two previous del Toro films, already on Criterion Blu-ray - Cronos and The Devil's Backbone plus a new Blu-ray, also available individually; Pan's Labyrinth. But the package is characterized by a large hardcover book containing all the liner notes of the three releases. It's a beautiful set to hold in your hands. Fans of Lone Wolf and Cub film were ecstatic that the complete 'Baby Cart' entries were coming to their Blu-ray label and we have, exhaustedly, compared to the previous DVD and Blu-ray releases. It another amazing set and it includes 1980's Shogun Assassin (the English-dubbed reedit of the first two Lone Wolf and Cub films) as a supplement. Wow. I was also very pleased this week with Budd Boetticher's classic western Comanche Station - another region free Blu-ray by Explosive-Media out of Germany. Let's get them all in 1080P! Universal, with the help of the 3D Archive, Jack Arnold's 1953's, simple but thought-provoking, It Came From Outer Space in both 3D and 2D editions on one Blu-ray. It's delightful and so reasonably priced. Kino bring us a Blu-ray of a 4K restoration of Boy With a Dolphin with Sophia Loren in an unforgettable role. Martin Ritt's Paris Blues with Poitier and Newman gets a Blu-ray upgrade via BFI. We've compared Arrow to Twilight Time Blu-rays of Theatre of Blood - one of the more unusual horror-comedies of all time. We've also done revealing comparisons of Hammer's underrated The Kiss of the Vampire part of Universal's Hammer Horror 8 Film Collection Blu-ray set and Busby Berkeley's The Gang's All Here - UK vs. US Blu-ray transfers. Table for Five is an 80's drama with Jon Voight that has made it to Blu-ray and Stanley Kramer's The Pride and the Passion doesn't live up to its star billing with Cary Grant, Sophia Loren and Frank Sinatra. DVDs to come next week.

Have an eventful week!

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Lone Wolf and Cub BD - Based on the best-selling manga series, the six intensely kinetic Lone Wolf and Cub films elevated chanbara to bloody new heights. The shogun’s executioner, Itto Ogami (Tomisaburo Wakayama), takes to wandering the countryside as an assassin—along with his infant son Daigoro (Akihiro Tomikawa) and a seemingly infinitely weaponized perambulator—helping those he encounters while seeking vengeance for his murdered wife. Delivering stylish thrills and a body count that defies belief, Lone Wolf and Cub is beloved for its brilliantly choreographed action sequences as well as its tender depiction of the bonds between a parent and a child. Criterion Blu-ray Release Date: November 8th, 2016

Shogun Assassin BD - Unquestionably the most popular samurai film in the West since the days of Akira Kurosawa, this chanbara classic was lifted from a hugely popular comic book saga and, still wet, transferred glistening to the screen. After being framed for disloyalty to his clan lord, disgraced ronin Itto Ogami (with three-year-old son Daigoro in tow) travels medieval Japan as the most skilled samurai-for-hire bar none. But as the treachery and obstacles in his latest mission quickly pile up, Ogami is forced to handle it the only way he knows how. A re-scored, re-dubbed reassembly of the first two films in the Lone Wolf and Cub series, the result has become an ageless cult sensation in its own right: a crazed thrill-ride in a booby-trapped baby cart, propelled on arterial spray, hurtling gleefully to nowhere. One of the most enduringly popular and deliriously violent action films of the 1980s, originally censored by the BBFC for cinema release and then banned as a video nasty. Criterion Blu-ray Release Date: November 8th, 2016

It Came From Outer Space BD - Based on a story by acclaimed writer Ray Bradbury, It Came From Outer Space starring Richard Carlson and Barbara Rush is a science fiction classic that is as thought-provoking and tantalizing today as it was when it first "landed" on the silver screen. When amateur astronomer John Putnam (Carlson) and his fiancée Ellen Fields (Rush) are stargazing in the desert, a spaceship bursts from the sky and crashes to the ground. Just before a landslide buries the ship, a mysterious creature emerges and disappears into the darkness. Of course, when he tells his story to the sheriff (Charles Drake), John is branded a crackpot. Before long, strange things begin to happen, but will the tide of disbelief turn in time? Blu-ray Release date: October 4th, 2016

Boy With a Dolphin BD - Italian goddess Sophia Loren (Marriage Italian Style) made her American film debut in this adventure yarn set upon the Greek island of Hydra. There in a seaside village the beautiful Phaedra (Loren), a sponge diver finds a breath-taking gold statue of a boy riding a dolphin. Her slimy and crooked boyfriend (Jorge Mistral, Luis Bunuel's Wuthering Heights) wants to sell it to an unscrupulous and wealthy art collector, but Phaedra wants to hand it over to an American anthropologist, Jim Calder (Alan Ladd, Shane), who would return it to the Greek government, so it could be displayed in a prominent Greek museum. Blu-ray Release date: October 25th, 2016

The Pride and the Passion BD - Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Cary Grant stars as Captain Anthony Trumbell, a British soldier tasked with securing a large cannon abandoned by the Spanish army when Napoleon s troops marched through and conquered Spain. The cannon, believed to be the largest in the world, would help England in their fight against the French. With the aid of peasant rebels lead by Miguel (Frank Sinatra) and Juana (Sophia Loren), Trumbell must first agree to help them restore the gun to defeat the French on Spanish soil. Blu-ray Release date: August 16th, 2016

The Gang's All Here BD - The iconic director-choreographer Busby Berkeley's first full-length film in Technicolor is well established as being perhaps the most visually stunning spectacle of any Hollywood musical. But to focus on this risks overlooking its exuberant performances, gleeful humour, sensational music and glowing romance, amidst countless other pleasures. A young soldier's fast-struck love affair with a New York City nightclub singer, despite his long-standing betrothal to a wealthy childhood friend, provides the catalyst for this dizzying parade of home-front melodrama, comic set-pieces and mind-boggling musical numbers (including 'The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat' and 'The Polka-Dot Polka'). Twilight Time Blu-ray Release Date: September 2016

Table for Five BD - J.P. Tannen (Jon Voight) is a divorced father of three. His children now live with their mother, Kathleen (Millie Perkins), and stepfather, Mitchell (Richard Crenna). But J.P. wants to be more involved in their lives, so he takes them on a Mediterranean cruise. The vacation is going well until J.P. learns that something happened to the kids' mother back home. He struggles with the decision of whether to tell them or let them enjoy their holiday in blissful ignorance for a while longer. Blu-ray Release date: October 18th, 2016

Trilogía de Guillermo del Toro BD - Throughout a career that encompasses both visually arresting art-house hits and big-budget Hollywood spectacles, director Guillermo del Toro has continually redefined and elevated the horror genre with his deeply personal explorations of myths and monsters. These three Spanish-language films, each a tale of childhood in troubled times, showcase his singular fusion of the fantastic and the real. Drawing inspiration from a rich variety of sources, from Alfred Hitchcock to Francisco de Goya, the gothic-infused stories collected here—populated by vampires, ghosts, and a fairy-tale princess—make evident why del Toro is considered the master cinematic fabulist of our time. Criterion Blu-ray Release Date: October 18th, 2016

The Kiss of the Vampire BD - Honeymooning in Bavaria, Gerald and Marianne Harcourt experience car trouble and are forced to spend a few days in a small remote village. Soon Doctor Ravna, owner of the impressive chateau that sits imposingly above the village, invites them to dinner and the couple are persuaded to go. Their association with Ravna and his charming beautiful family is to prove disastrous as they become unwittingly embroiled with this company of vampires who seek to initiate them into their diabolical creed. When the pair attend a masked ball at the chateau a few days later things start to go eerily wrong when Gerald begins to feel faint and Marianne disappears only to later return in front of a ceremony of gowned vampires and announced as their new disciple. Universal Blu-ray Release Date: September 13th, 2016

Pan's Labyrinth BD - An Academy Award–winning dark fable set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, Pan’s Labyrinth encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro. Eleven-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero, in a mature and tender performance) comes face to face with the horrors of fascism when she and her pregnant mother are uprooted to the countryside, where her new stepfather (Sergi López), a sadistic captain in General Francisco Franco’s army, hunts down Republican guerrillas refusing to give up the fight. The violent reality in which Ofelia lives merges seamlessly with her fantastical interior world when she meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child’s imagination and threatening the innocence of youth.) Criterion Blu-ray Release Date: October 18th, 2016

Theatre of Blood BD - Lionheart, a veteran thespian who refuses to play anything other than Shakespeare. Piqued by a circle of critics, whom he feels were disrespectful in their notices and denied him his rightful Best Actor of the Year Award, he decides to murder them one by one in parodies of some of Shakespeare's grislier scenes. He's aided by his daughter Edwina (played by Diana Rigg, often in fake moustache and male drag) and a ghoulish company of dosshouse zombies. Twilight Time Blu-ray Release Date: September 2016

Paris Blues BD - The second film of director Martin Ritt with both Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier, it's set in a city that has long been a haven for black musicians eager to escape the racism of the U.S. Newman is Ram Bowen, a trombone player who makes his living in a jazz group, which also includes tenor man Eddie Cook Sidney Poitier, while studying music and aspiring to a career as a "serious" composer. Eddie stays in Paris to bask in the respect that its people feel for his music, a respect rarely accorded him in the States. A pair of tourists, Connie Lampson Diahann Carroll and Lillian Corning Joanne Woodward arrive in the city for a two-week vacation, and the two musicians lose no time in hooking up. Soon both relationships take a serious turn and the musicians are forced to make some important decisions about the possibility of returning to their native soil. BFI Blu-ray Release Date: October 24th, 2016

Comanche Station BD - The last of the marvellous Westerns partnering Boetticher and Scott, beautifully scripted by Burt Kennedy and performed by a solid cast. Scott's the obsessive man, hunting these last ten years for a wife kidnapped by Comanches, who rescues instead another woman, only to find himself up against Akins and his reward-hungry sidekicks as he ferries her back to civilisation. With characters doomed from the start, it's a bleakly pessimistic film that gains warmth from gently ironic humour and a discreetly elegiac tone. Blu-ray Release Date: July 22ndth, 2016
