For the release week of June 28th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Out of Sight [4K UHD / Kino Lorber]: One of the coolest crime thrillers of the 1990s gets a 4K UHD upgrade. Steven Soderbergh’s adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s novel is funny, sexy, smart, and scary. George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez have great chemistry in the lead roles, and they are ably supported by Steve Zahn, Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzmán, Dennis Farina, and Albert Brooks. Even Michael Keaton shows up, playing the same role he played in Jackie Brown. This film is the full package.
