ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): My first pick this week - for its pure enjoyment is André De Toth's Pitfall via Kino Lorber Blu-ray with Eddie Muller commentary. It's imperfect but a giant leap ahead of the old DVD. Staying in Noir mode I was keen on a couple of atmospheric Twilight Time moody neo-noir films to Blu-ray last month - Devil in a Blue Dress has all the elements set in late '40s LA and Black Widow with Rafelson's subtle hints, is more garden-variety but competent and highly enjoyable circling the dark cinema motifs. I was contemplating Sean Baker's Tangerine on Magnolia Blu-ray for top spot as I really warmed to this unconventionally shot verité-styled gem. We must mention BFI's Blu-ray set of Pasolini Six Films 1968 - 1975 for the breadth of its powerful and impacting cinema at a reasonable collected price over the individual releases. You may not need to know more than that the refreshing film The Devil's Disciple has Laurence Oliver, Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas working together on camera - now available on bare-bones Blu-ray from Kino Lorber. Speaking of actor trifectas - we get Christopher Lee, Vincent Price and briefly Peter Cushing in Scream and Scream Again - flawed by budget-constraints but the commentary on the Blu-ray give it encouraging value. I got something out of the Artificial Eye Blu-ray of Manglehorn cited as Pacino's best film of this century - maybe - plenty of attributes here regardless. John Carpenter's Vampires is not without its own vampiric genre-charms - also now on superior Blu-ray from Twilight Time. The Spikes Gang is a good, semi-old fashioned western, adolescent adventure saga with Lee Marvin as the father-figure/leader. Strong Blu-ray a/v to boot. Strange Invaders goes for some kitschy 50's alien-invasion nostalgia and from that angle it works exceedingly well. The Blu-ray offers a commentary as well. Roar, and its unusual history, is certainly a unique mixed-bag viewing - also offering a commentary on the new Blu-ray to educate about the bizarre production. Count Yorga, Vampire get a Blu-ray release and while it wouldn't be my favorite Vampire flic - I could, still, appreciate the effort and the variation on previous genre themes. Worthy of a repeat spin. I guess my Blu-ray dog of the week is The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant; lacking the charismatic "so baaad it's good' appeal offered by similar. Others may disagree. On DVD, Eric covered 5 titles; Ming-Liang Tsai's Rebels of the Neon God gets a new SD release notably advancing past the older Wellspring DVD. Fog and Crimes - Season 3 continues its criminal/justice exploits seeing some subtle shifts, New Tricks - Series 12 is the final series of the BBC police drama, My Wife Next Door contains 13 X 30-minute episodes of the UK comedy TV series. In the Grayscale is a gay-romance drama from Chile. ..:“In narrative cinema, a certain terminology has already been established: 'film noir,' 'Western,' even 'Spaghetti Western.' When we say 'film noir' we know what we are talking about. But in non-narrative cinema, we are a little bit lost.." - Jonas Mekas. Have a great week!

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Tangerine BD - Tangerine is a heartwarming tale of humanity punctuated by the clack of prostitutes' heels on sun-baked L.A. streets, by screaming matches in divey motels, and the admonishments of a doughnut-shop owner threatening to call the cops if everybody doesn't shut up. With a spirit of genuine curiosity and generous fun, director Sean Baker dives into a certain subculture - transgender sex workers, the men who troll for them, the dealers and pimps trying to control everything - cruising around the seamier stretches of Hollywood on the day (and night) before Christmas. Blu-ray Release date: November 10th, 2015

Devil in a Blue Dress BD - Recently fired and desperate to keep up the payments on his beloved home, WWII veteran Easy Rawlins (Washington) is offered a job by the shady Dewitt Albright (Sizemore): to discover the whereabouts of one Daphne Monet (Beals), a politician's fiancée scandalously rumoured to hang out in black bars. Assured that there's nothing illegal involved, Easy accepts. Pretty soon, however, he finds himself suspected of murdering a friend's girl (Carson) and under threat from both the cops and Albright's thuggish henchmen. Reluctantly, he puts in a call to Mouse (Cheadle), an old friend from his native Texas - reluctantly, because while Mouse has guts and loyalty to spare, he's also a volatile psychopath. Franklin's follow-up to One False Move is an impressively complex, polished and intelligent adaptation of Walter Mosley's thriller. It not only shows us an immaculately recreated world hitherto ignored by the movies (the black neighbourhoods of late '40s LA), but locates race, alongside more familiar elements like money and power, as a central motivating force for the various characters' actions. Mercifully, however, Franklin never preaches but allows the racial theme to emerge naturally from story and situation. Everything - the performances, Tak Fujimoto's elegant camerawork, the jazz and blues soundtrack, the snappy script - slots neatly into his overall design. Sheer pleasure. Blu-ray Release date: October, 2015

Roar BD - Writer/director Noel Marshall stars as Hank, a doctor and outspoken naturalist in Africa who allows lions, tigers, cheetahs, and other big cats to roam freely around his remote estate. While away protecting animals from poachers, Hank’s family—including Marshall’s real-life wife and daughter, Tippi Hedren (The Birds) and Melanie Griffith (Working Girl)—arrive at his home and are stalked by the massive lions that have overrun the house. Blu-ray Release date: November 3rd, 2015

Pitfall (1948) BD - he darker side of the American dream is explored in the fascinating film noir Pitfall. Dick Powell stars as John Forbes, a successful insurance man with a trophy wife named Sue (Jane Wyatt) and a model child named Tommy (Jimmy Hunt). Despite all that he's achieved in life, Forbes feels somehow unfulfilled. During an attempt to recollect illegally purchased goods by a convicted bank robber, Forbes falls for his glamorous client Mona Stevens (Lizabeth Scott). When she "comes on" to him, it sparks an affair between them. Forbes suffers the pangs of guilt, a fact immediately capitalized upon by the seedy private eye MacDonald (Raymond Burr), who is upset because Mona has rejected him. If adultery has been committed, can murder be far behind? Many individual scenes in Pitfall are standouts, notably a brief moment wherein Forbes' son Tommy suffers a horrible nightmare. Blu-ray Release date: November 17th, 2015

Strange Invaders BD - Michael Laughlin directs Strange Invaders (1983), an affectionate homage to science fiction/alien takeover films of the 1950s that stars Paul Le Mat as a university professor searching for his ex-wife (Diana Scarwid), who seems to have disappeared while visiting her hometown of Centerville, Illinois. In fact, the place turns out to be a hotbed of aliens, in place since the Fifties and weirdly unaware of how the outside world has changed. Also starring Nancy Allen as a helpful journalist, and a lively supporting cast including Michael Lerner, Louise Fletcher, Wallace Shawn, Fiona Lewis, and period icon June Lockhart. Blu-ray Release date: October 24th, 2015

Count Yorga, Vampire BD - Count Yorga, Vampire (1970) gives us an elegant titular character, an old-world undead gent (Robert Quarry) making his elegantly bloodthirsty way in modern-day Los Angeles. Posing as a hip medium, he attracts young lovelies to his mansion by holding séances; one bereft boyfriend (played by producer Michael Macready) enlists the help of vampire fighter Dr. Hayes (Roger Perry). Also starring Michael Murphy, and distributed by the deathless exploitation factory, American International Pictures. Blu-ray Release date: October 24th, 2015

Scream and Scream Again BD - Kind of a horror movie, kind of an espionage film, and in some sense a piece of science fiction, Scream and Scream Again (1970) features turns by three icons of the horror genre: Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing. All are involved in a wild “plot” connecting Great Britain to some unnamed totalitarian state where torture, murder, and out-of-control “experiments” are the order of the day. Directed by Gordon Hessler from a screenplay by Christopher Wicking, with cinematography by the worthy John Coquillon. Blu-ray Release date: October 24th, 2015

Black Widow BD - With Black Widow (1987), maverick director Bob Rafelson gives us the alluring tale of a seductress (Theresa Russell) who marries and murders a series of wealthy men, getting away with her crimes until an equally clever female adversary – a Justice Department drone (Debra Winger) as bewitched as she is repelled by her quarry – picks up the Black Widow’s scent. Also starring Dennis Hopper, Sami Frey, and Nicol Williamson as an entertaining trio of poor saps. Shot by the incomparable Conrad Hall and featuring a superlative score from Michael Small. Blu-ray Release date: October 24th, 2015

John Carpenter's Vampires BD - John Carpenter’s Vampires (1998) stars the irrepressible James Woods as a Vatican-sanctioned vampire slayer assisted by a wise-cracking sidekick (Daniel Baldwin) and a naïve young priest (Tim Guinee); they’re pitted against a centuries-old vamp (Thomas Ian Griffith) in an attempt to retrieve a religious relic that will allow the nocturnal types to stalk the world in the full light of day. Also starring Maximilian Schell and Sheryl Lee, and featuring a terrific score by the versatile Carpenter. Blu-ray Release date: October, 2015

Pasolini Six Films 1968 - 1975 BD - Brutal and uncompromising, the films of controversial director Pier Paolo Pasolini have shocked and outraged audiences for decades, and their power remains undiminished to this day. Presented together for the first time, these six films stand as a testimony to his unique and untameable talents. In Theorem, a youthful Terence Stamp seduces each member of a bourgeois family. Medea features opera legend Maria Callas in a dark tale of betrayal and revenge. The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales and Arabian Nights form the bawdy Trilogy of Life, all with scores by the legendary Ennio Morricone. And Pasolini's final, shocking film, Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom, sees him pushing his art to extremes. Blu-ray Release date: November 2nd, 2015

The Spikes Gang BD - In this western, an outlaw is wounded in battle and manages to escape to the home of two helpful runaways who help him recuperate. During this time, the outlaw regales them with thrilling tales of his adventurous exploits. His stories inspire the lads to form a gang of their own; the outlaw is more than happy to help and become their leader. They rob a few banks and have great fun until the outlaw becomes a turncoat and begins hunting them for a generous bounty. But one of the boys decides to get revenge and rootin' tootin' mayhem ensues. Blu-ray Release date: November 3rd, 2015

The Devil's Disciple BD - This film version of George Bernard Shaw's satirical take on the American Revolution had a troubled production history (with a director change in mid-production), but nevertheless boasts a cutting performance by Laurence Olivier. Shaw's tale depicts his version of how the British lost the American colonies: because of a stupid mistake at the War Office someone forgot to tell Lord North to join up with General "Gentleman" Johnny Burgoyne (Laurence Olivier) and smash the rebels. Burt Lancaster is on hand as the Rev. Anthony Anderson, a peace-loving parson who ends up becoming a belligerent firebrand of a rebel. Also is tow is Kirk Douglas as Dirk Dungeon, who, in typical Shawvian irony, starts out as a unrepentant, cowardly scamp and ends up as the personification of Christian virtues. Blu-ray Release date: November 24th, 2015

Manglehorn BD - Reclusive small town locksmith, A.J. Manglehorn (Al Pacino) has never quite recovered from losing the love of his life. He feels closer to his beloved cat than the people around him and prefers to find comfort in his work and daily routine. Still, he continues to form tenuous forms of somewhat human connections, maintaining intermittent contact with his son and establishing a cautious friendship with a kindhearted woman from the local bank. As this solitary man approaches the possibility of new love, he finds himself at a crossroads between staying mired in the past and embracing the present. Blu-ray Release date: November 2nd, 2015

The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant BD - This ridiculous '70s exploitation quickie is notable mainly for its casting: Bruce Dern toplines as the crazed doctor Girard, with Munsters star Pat Priest as his beleaguered wife and top-40 DJ Casey Kasem (who also lends his talents to various voice-overs throughout the film) as a medical colleague. Girard's semi-successful attempts at surgically attaching additional heads to various lab animals leaves him a bit unfulfilled, and it's no time at all before he goes about performing the operation on a human being. Blu-ray Release date: November 24th, 2015

New Tricks - Series 12 - All ten episodes from the twelfth and final series of the BBC police drama. A motley crew of retired police officers are recruited by DCI Sasha Miller (Tamzin Outhwaite) and Danny Griffin (Nicholas Lyndhurst) to reopen troublesome cases that were never laid to rest. The episodes are: 'Last Man Standing: Part One', 'Last Man Standing: Part Two', 'The Curate's Egg', 'The Wolf of Wallbrook', 'Prodigal Sons', 'The Fame Game', 'The Russian Cousin', 'Lottery Curse', 'Life Expectancy' and 'The Crazy Gang'. DVD Release Date: October 12th, 2015

My Wife Next Door - My Wife Next Door is a British sitcom created by Brian Clemens and written by Richard Waring. The programme is about a couple, George Basset (John Alderton) and Suzie Basset (Hannah Gordon). Each tries to start afresh after their divorce. They move to the country, only to find that they have moved into adjoining cottages. One episode of the series won a British Academy Television Award for Best Situation Comedy in 1973. When the series was repeated in 1979 it gained more viewers than during its original run, and topped the BBC 1 weekly ratings several times. DVD Release Date: October 19th, 2015

In the Grayscale - When architect Bruno (Chilean TV star Francisco Celhay) finds himself passionately drawn to Santiago tour guide Fernando (Emilio Edwards), he faces challenging decisions about his identity and his relationship with his wife and young son. Offering no easy answers to Bruno's dilemma, this tenderly told tale of sexual discovery is a beautifully realized portrait of two men in love. DVD Release Date: November 3rd, 2015

Fog and Crimes - Season 3 - The complete third season of the Italian TV crime drama. In the seemingly tranquil countryside of Northern Italy, Police Chief Soneri (Luca Barbareschi) works together with a faithful team to solve a series of gruesome and disturbing mysteries that occur in the wealthy surrounding area. DVD Release Date: September 28th, 2015

Rebels of the Neon God - Tsai's first film is of interest for its roots in his eventual styling - a more conventional drama than his future films, we are shown an ambitious student who leaves his studies to seek revenge on the hoodlums who wrecked his father's taxi cab. We are also privy to a couple of petty teenage thieves (Tse and Ping) living in an overcrowded apartment building with a constantly gurgling floor drain. Residing in their complex is a girl (Kuei) they are currently seeking attention from, yet as always with Tsai, communication is the barrier. Told in a series of Taipei-based tableaux's, Tsia's eventual themes are already obvious and will reoccur in his future films in a more concrete and polished form. DVD Release Date: October 27th, 2015
