I’m a little late this time… maybe because there’s just so little here. Well, except for fans of Jim Hutton. I know every release week can’t be great, but where’s my Woman in White Warner!
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1973, John Newland)
Okay, maybe I spoke too soon. This one’s a TV movie, never released […]

Warner Archives for the week of August 3, 2009
August 6th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Much different batch of releases this time. A lot more oddities, with no theme. A good sign for what’s to come from Warner Archive? Or just a peculiar release?
She (1965, Robert Day)
Pretty sure this one’s a famous bomb. I hadn’t realized Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were in it. I remember when it came out […]

Evil — the superhero genre.
Bronco Billy (Clint Eastwood) or Buffalo Bill Cody (Paul Newman)?

Warner Archive releases for 7/15/09
July 23rd, 2009 · No Comments
The titles came out a day late. Sort of. At least the new title list came out a day late.
Wonder Bar (1934, Lloyd Bacon)
Lots of Al Jolson this week, starting with this one … based on a stage play, co-starring Kay Francis, Dick Powell. I guess there’s a famous scene with some homosexual implications (dudes dancing together!). […]

Warner Archive releases for 7/7/09
July 7th, 2009 · No Comments
With Warner Archive titles coming out twice a month now, I thought I’d do bimonthly posts discussing them.
Green Mansions (1959, Mel Ferrer)
Widescreen release of the Audrey Hepburn/Anthony Perkins soap. At least I think it’s a soap. I’ve never seen it. It’s pre–Psycho Perkins, so it might be interesting, though I’ve never seen a good Ferrer […]

Viva la Résistance

I’m breaking my diet/workout regime and having a martini for this post.
The Stop Button isn’t closing. Not exactly. It’s just not going to be updated daily and I’m not going to focus on developing its library of film responses. This week, which missed a day already, wasn’t intended to be its last in the current state… […]
