Surprised they didn't give this a 4k, not saying it's any good but it seems exactly like something that Kino would release on 4k.

Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative!
The Dream Team (1989) Starring Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd, Peter Boyle, Stephen Furst, Dennis Boutsikaris, Lorraine Bracco, Michael O’Shea, Philip Bosco & James Remar – Shot by Adam Holender (Midnight Cowboy) – Directed by Howard Zieff (Slither, House Calls, Private Benjamin, Unfaithfully Yours, My Girl).
My first memory of seeing anything with Henry Fonda or a glimpse of anything directed by John Ford was actually through this movie of all places. (And surprised to see it’s from 1989, no doubt overshadowed by that
other movie starring Keaton later that same year.)

The Gracie Allen Murder Case is a nice surprise. I'm late to the party on discovering Allen's comic chops but she's very funny here. Not everything works - some of the schtick can be annoying and the plot itself has both its exciting and duller sections, but ultimately there are enough gags that hit to keep the momentum going for 75 minutes. I laughed a lot. Well worth picking up at a KL sale

Yesterday's announcement:
Coming Soon on Blu-ray!
Le Choc (1982) AKA Shock
Alain Delon | Catherine Deneuve
Shot by Pierre-William Glenn (Day for Night)
Music by Philippe Sarde (Tess)
Directed by Robin Davis (La Guerre Des Polices
I am actually a bit surprised because I figured KLSC would have gone for
Le gitan due to their recent Giovanni releases (Kino Insider previously said they were releasing one of these two titles)
Le Choc is absolute dogshit with two minor saving graces of a good score and a weird Stephane Audran cameo. You'd think there wasn't much new to say about the hitman who wants out etc narrative, and you'd be right. Presumably KLSC licensed this because you get to see Delon's dick in it (funnily enough, the only other film i know of where that's also true is...
Traitement de choc. When Delon promises "shock" he delivers, I guess) and not for his dubious co-writing credit. Who wants to claim a movie this lame anyways?

More OOP based on previously being in the "While Supplies Last" sale and now no longer appearing on the website.
The Hunter will Get You (1976) (BD & DVD)
Well, this was a lot better than I expected (though my expectations were somewhere in the "morbid curiosity" range). Decent premise here - Bruno Cremer tricks juvenile delinquents into assisting in robberies and then kills them immediately after - and Belmondo teaming up with the only victim of Cremer to survive is fun. I enjoyed that the film kept getting sidetracked from the actual plot with Cremer into other tasks Belmondo's "outsider" operator had to deal with (Cremer might legit disappear for like an hour in the middle of this film) and despite Belmondo not being a master of disguises (there's a good reason he doesn't sport a mustache in many if any other films, I promise you!) it's always fun to watch a movie about someone who's good at something. Also has an incredible main theme that sounds like something out of an Argento movie. I'd grab a copy for cheap before the market inflates it above the actual value offered by the film!

Last Known Address (1970)
Lino Ventura / Marlène Jobert / Michel Constantin
Written & Directed by José Giovanni (Birds of Prey, Scoumoune)
Sloppy, occasionally embarrassing mess. Pointlessly cynical in a melodramatic fashion with random stylistic flourishes executed by someone who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Will go out of print in a few years and no one will remember it ever existed. Zardi’s three seconds as a movie theatre pervert is the only highlight

Guess we won't be getting a Criterion Sheridan box...or anything from him now (guess My Left Foot might still be possible, but if they passed on In The Name Of The Father it's not very likely).

After watching several KLSC discs whose subtitles were riddled with spelling errors, I'm not surprised.

Just finished up the second French Noir set, a bit of mixed bag. The Gabin, Ventura, and Belmondo films
were serviceable but indifferently directed. I felt the best of the four was La mort de Belle (Passion of
Slow Fire), a taut and well-made film (from a Simenon novel) directed by Edouard Molinaro with Jean
Desailly giving a really good performance.

I finished the set earlier this year and I thought The Beast is Loose was one of the better films in the set. Granted, it’s not something I would want to watch again (the same goes for the rest of the set).
