OVER MAINE: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION
Blu-Ray Review by John Larkin Purchase at MovieZyng.com by clicking the image above This year I have been immersed in nature in a way I never expected. After spending so many years with my head down in books, movies, and laptop screens, I finally started lifting my eyes toward the natural world again. That shift has changed me. It has refreshed me and helped me process many of the daily stressors that were piling up. In that spirit, the release of OVER MAINE: THE COMPLETE CO

SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE
Review by Rocco Simonelli I’m a Springsteen fan. I was 14 when BORN TO RUN hit, and it was one of the first albums I ever purchased with my own money; the other was Dylan’s BLOOD ON THE TRACKS. All these years later I still listen to both. That’s important to note, because it’s impossible to watch the current Springsteen biopic DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE without thinking of Dylan and his biopic from earlier this year, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. Springsteen was one of the many artists w

THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS LEGACY COLLECTION
Purchase at MovieZyng.com by clicking the image above. ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS – SEVEN SEASONS’ WORTH OF HALF-HOUR EPISODES from 1955-1962. Review by Roy Frumkes Before Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond, Thriller, The Outer Limits, Night Gallery, Perry Mason, even before Dragnet, this was early for being as good as it was. There were a great many episodes, and Hitch fluttered among them to bestow his input and steerage. Some he even directed. Don’t worry; I’m not going to rev

THE MAKING OF QUENTIN TARANTINO'S ONCE UPON A TIME... IN HOLLYWOOD
By Jay Glennie – Insight Editions, 2025 Review by John Larkin Purchase on Amazon by clicking the image above! It’s no secret that we’re very pro Tarantino here at Films in Review. In turn, it’s no secret that Tarantino’s been very pro Films in Review himself. He’s spoken often about how much the original magazine meant to him, how he devoured it growing up, and how it shaped the way he thought about film criticism and movie history. On the Video Archives Podcast, he’s mention

Warner Archive Errol Flynn Collection
Purchase at MovieZyng.com by clicking the image above Blu-Ray Review by Roy Frumkes If you are an Errol Flynn fan, which he adamantly wasn’t, you’ve got a smart package of six discs here representing two Technicolor adventures and four B&W war flicks. THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD is a hugely important 1938 release, not so much for its story, but rather for the quality of its imagery. Technicolor was taking its first bold baby steps, and a close friend of mine who saw the f

The Top 10 Most Unnerving and Disturbing Performances Outside Horror
Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in NO COUNTY FOR OLD MEN (2007) by John Larkin Every Halloween, the conversation turns to the familiar faces of terror: the monsters, slashers, and masked killers who have come to define the genre. But this feature takes a different path. These are performances that unsettle on a deeper level, where fear does not stem from prosthetics, reputation, or myth, but from the raw presence of the human being on screen. It is the way an actor inhabits a

THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN arrives in 4K!
Purchase at MovieZyng.com by clicking the image above. Review by John Larkin I first encountered THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN one crisp autumn night many years ago on Turner Classic Movies. I was struck by how refined it felt for a horror film. The lush production design, candlelit sets, and painterly compositions immediately pulled me in. It wasn’t just an old monster movie; it was something elegant and hypnotic. Over the years it has become inseparable from the Halloween seas

AFTER THE HUNT
by Victoria Alexander WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! Roberts’ well-deserved 2nd Oscar, smoking is back!, and Guadagnino intentionally irks his audience. ‘Irks his audience’? You’ll know it when you hear it. Alma (Julia Roberts) is a renowned philosophy professor at Yale. She is on track for the hallowed academic state of tenure. Alma and her psychoanalyst husband Frederik (Michael Stuhlbarg) are getting ready for a party at their big apartment for colleagues and “special” doc

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM: THE COMPLETE SERIES
Purchase at MovieZyng.com by clicking the image above! Blu-Ray review by John Larkin Much the way THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE are comfort food for me during Halloween and Christmas, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is my go-to comfort whenever I need to laugh. CURB and SEINFELD are my two favorite comedy shows, not by coincidence, since they both come from the same creative mind. Larry David’s world is built on neuroticism, misanthropy, and awkward honesty, mixed
