Wonderland: August 2015
http://wonderlandsteve.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 August 2015. Blu-ray Review: Videodrome (Arrow Video). Better on TV than on the street". Viewing "Videodrome" at the cinema in 1983 was an overwhelming experience, and David Cronenberg's visionary film has lost none of its power some three decades later. It was simply too far ahead of its time for many people, but has taken the status of cult movie on the home video circuit. Arrow Video's limited edition Blu-ray numbering 3,000 units sold out within days of release, though there will likely be...

Wonderland: July 2015

Sunday, 26 July 2015. Blu-ray Review: 3 Women (Arrow Academy). The film industry is all about dreams, and Robert Altman's "3 Women" has its roots in a dream experienced by the director while his wife lay ill in hospital. Millie Lammoreaux (Shelley Duvall) works as a therapist at the Desert Springs senior care centre, helping the aged during their final years. Millie is a word-aholic, endlessly talking to colleagues and neighbours who largely ignore her endless patter. It's also a film that's difficult to...

Wonderland: May 2015

Friday, 22 May 2015. Blu-ray Review: The Long Good Friday (Arrow Video). February 1981, and the opening week of "The Long Good Friday" cinema release saw me heading to my local theatre with not a little enthusiasm. I wasn't disappointed, either. John Mackenzie's gritty take on organised crime in London delivers straight down the line, and remains one of the very best British films. When the truth emerges, it's chilling in the extreme. Hoskins is pure dynamite, lacing his actions and reactions with humour...

Sunday, 21 June 2015. Blu-ray Review: The Hound Of The Baskervilles (Arrow Video). An A certificate picture containing X certificate fare may be one way of describing Hammer's 1959 production of one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most popular Sherlock Holmes stories. While it's true that the film version makes several changes to plot and characters, it remains an important part of Hammer's filmography. Those same people should also be delighted with the supplementary material here. Hound Of The Baskervilles...

Wonderland: February 2015

Thursday, 12 February 2015. Blu-ray Review: Thief (Arrow Video). The cinema of Michael Mann has yielded a rich crop since the early '80s, with the likes of 'Manhunter', 'Heat' and 'The Insider' delivering high octane tension and beautifully drawn character studies of troubled individuals. In many ways, 'Thief' - his feature debut - is my personal favourite from his filmography, and the performance of James Caan bears a lot of influence in my choice. Arrow Video's Blu-ray presentation features a sparkling...
