Garv’s Pick of the Week: Richard III (Sandpiper Pictures)
For the release week of June 21th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Richard III [Blu-ray / Sandpiper Pictures]: “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!” Ian McKellen and Richard Loncraine’s adaption of Richard III is one of the most fun Shakespeare films ever produced. The movie received a previous limited edition Blu-ray release from Twilight Time, but that disc has been out of print for some time. Sandpiper Pictures is giving collectors a second chance to add the film to their collections.
Additional Titles of Interest —
Giant [4K UHD / Warner Brothers]: George Stevens’ 1956 Texas epic is a bit soapy, but it’s still fun. Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean star.
Shaft [4K UHD / Criterion]: They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother…
Vampire’s Kiss [Blu-ray / MVD Rewind Collection]: I say let Cage be Cage.
The Brain from Planet Arous [Blu-ray / The Film Detective]: Here’s one for all of the John Agar fanboys.
The UFO Incident [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: I remember this TV movie, supposedly based on a true story, as being better than expected. It doesn’t hurt that it stars James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons.
