I picked up the blu-ray of this in Nagoya when I was there last year, but I’m very happy to see an under-appreciated Kitano joint become more widely available.

Favourite first time viewings of January: Love Hotel (1985), Disembodied (1998), The Italian Connection (1972), and The Sting of Death (1990). Wouldn’t’ve stumbled across these if not for the excellent releases from Third Window Films, Bleeding Skull, Raro Video, and Radiance Films, respectively.

Declaring war on TMDB because they retitled the 1987 slasher ‘Blood Rage’ to the censored ‘Nightmare at Shadow Woods’ cut. An admin insisted it was the original title and cited Wikipedia as a source. We must destroy TMDB to save Letterboxd. It’s Blood Rage, the movie is titled Blood Rage.

Making my way through the second of Arrow’s Shaw Brothers sets and having a lot of fun with it, even if some of the movies are rather forgettable. But most importantly, I rewatched Lost Highway last night after picking up the Criterion UHD. Initially, I thought this was a miss, but it’s incredible.

David Lynch will forever be my favourite artist. He changed how I saw art and reshaped how I viewed life. No words could ever stress how important he is. Unfathomably sad today.

Ethel Cain scaring her entire fanbase with a challenging record filled with Throbbing Gristle-like ambience and deathly dark slowcore is so cool. More artists should take swings this bold at the peak of their stardom.

The Eel FINALLY getting a blu-ray release is incredible news, I remember tracking this down years ago because I was on an Imamura kick and it absolutely delivered on its premise. Also kickstarted my obsession with melancholic seaside stories.

Thrilled to share my first interview for Pigeons and Planes in forever! I talked to Roy Blair about his fantastic and sprawling ‘Chasing Moving Trains,' an album informed by every second of its five-year journey.

Second Sight’s UHD of The Hitcher, which comes with the entire script no less, is a thing of beauty. A stunning restoration for an underrated thriller worthy of such a loving treatment. Perhaps my favourite release of the year.

Trying to get back into publishing little things on Substack here and there, starting with this list of ten movies I discovered thanks to the excellent curation efforts of some of my favourite Blu-ray labels.

It’s that time of year when major studio horror classics get their long overdue 4K UHD release. Very happy to see this has both cuts in 4K!

Shusuke Kaneko's Gamera trilogy is so good. The last one is especially great, dealing with the destruction the kaiju battles have on the population. The miniatures are consistently fantastic, it's sometimes shot like a horror film, and at one point characters use a Dreamcast to help their research.
