The Third Wife (2018) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - The surface audio-visual beauty of this Vietnamese period drama thinly veils a disturbing story about the consequences of arranged marriage. @Eurekavideo

High Noon (1952) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - Despite its now well-worn tropes, High Noon still holds up very well as an entertaining, well-crafted western-thriller. @Eurekavideo

The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - Prejudicial attitudes drive a white-Aboriginal to violence in this hard-hitting, uncompromisingly violent Australian drama. Tommy Lewis turns in a superb central performance. @Eurekavideo

The Incident (1967) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - Tony Musante and Martin Sheen play two young thugs who terrorise the passengers on a NY subway train. While the city is a much safer place now, the urban nightmare scenario still packs a wallop. @Eurekavideo

Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J Warren, 1976-1987 Blu Ray (Indicator) review - This collection brings together Satan's Slave, Prey, Terror, Inseminoid and Bloody New Year, plus an incredible number of extras. @indicatorseries

The Legacy (1978) Blu Ray (Indicator) review - The Omen meets And Then There Were None in this supernatural horror thriller. It's a load of old nonsense but at least the numerous setpieces are enjoyable. @indicatorseries

Used Cars (1980) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - Robert Zemeckis's madcap comedy is a lot of fun and laden with satirical barbs to boot. The highlight, of course, is Kurt Russell, who is at his cocksure best here. @Eurekavideo

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - Director Elia Kazan's Oscar-winning debut is a well-acted and bittersweet affair, albeit a bit dated in its overall approach. @Eurekavideo

Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - This adaptation of a play of the same name fails to generate any cinematic magic from an already critically-panned source @Eurekavideo

Coming Home (1978) Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - This acclaimed love triangle drama set during the Vietnam War offers more of a female perspective on the conflict. Starring Jane Fonda, Jon Voight and Bruce Dern. @Eurekavideo

Last Hurrah for Chivalry & Hand of Death: Two Films by John Woo Blu Ray (Eureka!) review - These two early wuxia (period martial arts) adventures from the iconic John Woo offer some fun but don't exactly count amongst the director's best. @Eurekavideo

Double Face (1969) Blu Ray (Arrow) review - This Italian/West German thriller is stylish but somewhat dull. However, the whole package is recommendable for its extras focussing on director Riccardo Freda and composer Nora Orlandi. @ArrowFilmsVideo

Black Joy (1977) Blu Ray (Indicator) review - This documentary-like look at a Guyanese immigrant learning the ropes in Brixton provides both a fascinating window back to a burgeoning ethnic community and a gritty but entertaining drama. @indicatorseries

EIFF 2019: Volcano (2018) review - This surreal Ukrainian comedy-drama lays bare the sheer schisms to be seen within this impoverished, war-torn country. It is filled with startling images, both ugly and beautiful. @edfilmfest

https://t.co/VcRKmfrJA0

[CinemasFringes @CinemasFringes]

EIFF 2019: Schemers (2019) review - This Dundee-set drama (based around the early days of music promoter David McLean’s career) makes up for a lacking budget via its undeniable spunk and energy. @edfilmfest

EIFF 2019: Bittersweet Symphony (2019) review - This amateurish and unfocussed mess of a film feels like watching someone else's home movie. @edfilmfest

https://t.co/J2NoUdUWHp

[CinemasFringes @CinemasFringes]

EIFF 2019: Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles (2018) review - Salvador Simó's cel-shaded animated look at the making of Luis Buñuel’s documentary Las Hurdes give us a striking insight into his artistic imagination without sugarcoating. @edfilmfest

[CinemasFringes @CinemasFringes]

EIFF 2019: The Wind (2018) review - This horror-western is impressively potent from a visual standpoint but its non-linear narrative conceals a shortage of both storyline and interesting characterisations. @edfilmfest

[CinemasFringes @CinemasFringes]

EIFF 2019: Ever After (2018) review - Despite having its share of gruesome moments, this German take on the zombie apocalypse subgenre comes closer in tone to Andrei Tarkovsky than to George Romero. @edfilmfest
