This entry is A few words (in progress). I wanted to get something on line quickly about MPI's new Blu-ray of Roland West's 1930 The Bat Whispers, as it's one of the most important (and interesting) restorative classic releases of the year, and I have concerns that it will sell out before readers get a chance to grab a copy. It arrives in two weeks. Photographed in both 35 (Ray June: Funny Face, Gigi, Secret Garden, Ziegfeld Girl) and 65/5 (Robert Planck: Little Women, Three Musketeers... Read more ..read more

John Dahl's 1993 Red Rock West is an extremely odd thriller that seems to have fallen through the cracks. And that's a pity, as it's a fun film. Vinegar Syndrome via cinematographe has brought it back in very nice form on Blu-ray, and it's expensive. A rarity in film restoration, the film has been meticulously saved from what may be the only extant film element, an IP. The OCN must be long gone. But that happens with extremely old productions, so it's understandable. In an Out of... Read more ..read more
