Garv’s Pick of the Week: Ulzana’s Raid (Kino Lorber)
For the release week of January 21st :
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Ulzana’s Raid [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: This brutal Robert Aldrich film, which pits the Apaches versus the U.S. Cavalry, is one of the best Westerns of the 1970s. What’s more, Burt Lancaster sports a fantastic mustache.
Additional Titles of Interest —
Gregory’s Girl [Blu-ray / Film Movement]: Bill Forsyth’s Scottish coming-of-age romantic comedy has an opportunity to build upon its cult following, now that is coming to Blu-ray.
Semi-Tough [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: Burt Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson, and Jill Clayburgh star in a football comedy that really isn’t about football.
Cimarron [Blu-ray / Warner Archive]: Anthony Mann was fired before he completed the direction of this soapy Western drama. Glenn Ford and Maria Schell star.
Tobruk [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: Rock Hudson and George Peppard are men on a mission in WWII North Africa.
The War Lord [Blu-ray / Warner Archive]: Charlton Heston stars in this film about Medieval knights. Expect a lot of clanking.
House by the Cemetery [Blu-ray / Blue Underground]: Something’s happening in the basement in Lucio Fulci’s gore fest. It should look better than ever with a new 4K scan and a 3-Disc Special Edition.
Kitten With a Whip [Blu-ray / Universal]: Meeee-ow.
Gordon of Ghost City [Blu-ray / VCI]: This Universal serial promises “12 super chapters packed with wild thrills!” I’d take that with a grain of salt.
