New on Blu-ray & 4K Ultra HD: POINT BLANK (1967) Starring Lee Marvin - Criterion Collection

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Director John Boorman brought the gangster drama into new realms of modernist abstraction with this stylized revenge thriller, which transforms hard-edged pulp into a kaleidoscopic psychological puzzle. Lee Marvin is iconically cool as the enigmatic Walker, who, after he’s betrayed and left for dead by his best friend during a robbery, embarks on a brutal quest for vengeance, aided by a jaded ex-moll (a sensational Angie Dickinson) who has her own complex motives for helping him. Capturing Los Angeles locales with a surreal pop-art eye, Boorman locates the existential dread lurking beneath the city’s sunlit surface.

New on Blu-ray & 4K Ultra HD: THE MECHANIC (1972) Starring Charles Bronson

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: He has 100 ways to kill...and they all work! The iconic Charles Bronson (Death Wish I-V, 10 to Midnight) is at his no-nonsense best as the star of this action-drenched tale of an expert hired killer. Dignified, wealthy Arthur Bishop (Bronson) is a “Mechanic”—a professional assassin who “fixes things” for the all-powerful Organization. A man of refined tastes, his methods of engineering death are limited only by his boundless imagination. His specialty is doing every job differently, and always making his kill look like an accident. Bronson is perfect as the consummate hit-man, with his rugged, brooding self-assurance; Jan-Michael Vincent (Defiance), Keenan Wynn (Orca) and Jill Ireland (Breakheart Pass) are his marvelous co-stars. Writer Lewis John Carlino (Seconds) and director Michael Winner (Bronson gems Chato’s Land, The Stone Killer and Death Wish 1-3) pack the screen with hard-edged action, hair-raising chase sequences, exotic locales and shocking plot twists—making The Mechanic the ultimate ’70s crime thriller.

THAT MIDNIGHT KISS (1949) - Blu-ray Release of Romantic Musical Starring Kathryn Grayson, Jose Iturbi, Ethel Barrymore and Mario Lanza

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Aspiring diva Prudence Budell (Kathryn Grayson) knew what she wanted in a singing partner… and she found it on the street! Mario Lanza, already a recording sensation in 1949, made his screen debut in this glowing box-office success. As singing truck driver Johnny Donnetti, the broad-shouldered tenor proved he could handle lines with ease and warmth. And he amply showcased what everyone already knew – he could belt out a song (highlights include Donizetti’s “Una Furtiva Lagrima” and Verdi’s “Celeste Aida”). Grayson, who had a lifelong ambition to perform on the operatic stage, graced Verdi’s “Caro Nome” with her bright coloratura. And, in his final movie, Jose Iturbi teamed with his sister for Chopin’s stirring “Revolutionary Etude.”

New on Blu-ray: SONG OF THE THIN MAN (1947) Starring William Powell and Myrna Loy

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: At a charity gambling benefit aboard the S.S. Fortune, the tables are hot, the jazz is hotter and before you know it, a bandleader's body is growing cold. They're playing your song, Nick and Nora Charles! William Powell and Myrna Loy return for the sixth and final time as the married sleuths, rousting suspects out of bed for 4 a.m. interrogations while trying to fathom the bebop argot of '40s jazz jive. Speaking of their renowned screen chemistry, Loy once said, "It wasn't a conscious thing. If you heard us talking in a room, you'd hear the same thing. He'd tease me, and there was a sort of blending which seemed to please people." Decades later, people are still pleased. The melody of Song of the Thin Man and the entire beloved series lingers on.
