KLSC announced they are releasing Kevin Reynolds' The Beast

KLSC announced they are releasing Kevin Reynolds' The Beast

A wonderful film, but I probably won’t need to double dip as a result of Indicator’s excellent disc. Twilight Time had hinted at working on this, too, and I do wish we’d gotten a score-only option disc, as Mark Isham’s music is incredible

I think you're confusing Imprint with Indicator.

I did indeed. Thank you

Sorry if this was mentioned before but Kino are releasing a Lubitsch double bill, The Doll (1919) and I Don't Want To Be A Man (1918) in August.

[Finch]

The next Paramount licensed 4k and BD is going to be Ted Kotcheff's North Dallas Forty.

I've had the KL release of Alan Rudolph's "Welcome to LA" for awhile, but have only gotten around to watching it and have never seen the film before. The back of the case states the film runs 106 minutes, but the actual disc runs 103:14 minutes. I know KL often has incorrect data on their back covers, but in this case IMDb also states 106 minutes. I've also found multiple listings for various theatrical screenings and a scan of the VHS cover, which also say 106 minutes. There's a review on the site here of the MOD DVD which says it ran 103 minutes, but I'm curious if anyone here happens to own a VHS copy and could check how long the film actually is; whether this is just a long time slight rounding error in the runtime listing or if some footage actually got removed somewhere along the line.

Oh I’m on that one. Maybe the best 70’s (American) football movie.

Force of Evil pushed back to August 1st

Excellent news about this release, and glad they are coming to Region 1. I already own the MOC releases, and will be checking reviews to see if there are any substantial differences.

I haven't seen it in years, but The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane has a great performance by Jodie Foster, maybe her best before she took a break from acting and came back as a bigger film star in adulthood. The film itself isn't much, but it's essentially carried by a 13-year-old who's clearly far more intelligent and complex than most people her age, both in real life and within the movie.

Lord Love a Duck is a great underseen classic - highly recommended, I'm not sure if it'll ever get a better release elsewhere, not unless it gets a 4K restoration. (The Blu-ray already comes from a "brand new 2K master.")

I'm not the biggest Hal Ashby fan, but I still think he's a fine director, and The Landlord is one of the few I'd go back to, along with The Last Detail and Being There. I actually saw it at BAM in 2009, and I was pretty much working and living near or around Park Slope at the time. I remember the audience laughing and snickering at every disparaging mention of Park Slope (the film's setting, where it was also shot in real life) because it had changed so much since the film was made. For me, it was just weird to go from the Midwest to this little neighborhood overflowing with pop culture references. First day I was there, I walked past the address mentioned in Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind," probably at the peak of its popularity. A few months later, I revisited The Squid and the Whale and recognized the exterior of the Key Food on 5th Avenue that I frequented. I used to run into movie and TV stars around that area too, the most memorable being Jake Gyllenhaal as he walked past Gorilla Coffee one morning, looking a bit disgruntled. Just a day earlier, a photo of him with Taylor Swift at that same coffee shop had gone viral, and I think a few hours after I walked by him, there was more viral news that the two had split.

More OOP based on previously being in the "While Supplies Last" sale and now no longer appearing on the website:

Grandview, U.S.A. (1984) (BD)

Fuzz (1972) (BD) (DVD previously OOP)
A Thousand Clowns (1965) (BD)

These two titles are just temporarily out of stock according to the KL Insider, and should return to the WSL listings within a few weeks.

[captveg]

Many of the newly added WSL titles are 20th Century films. While Disney seems to have licensed these types of titles for reissue via Mill Creek lately, I wouldn't bank on it for a title like The Ox-Bow Incident.

Also worth noting that any previously available DVD versions of any of the newly added WSL titles are no longer available on the Kino website, so those DVDs are officially OOP (stock likely sold off to other online retailers).

Sold. Thanks for that.

I hadn't noticed The Oyster Princess had been announced, I'll definitely get that too.

[Tuco]

Wellman's YELLOW SKY is well worth a look. A very tight western with the added bonus of Richard Widmark as a rather scummy bad guy.

[senseabove]

I'll second the rec for The Landlord, which is also worth noting for being written by Bill Gunn and shot by Gordon Willis if Ashby isn't your particular thing on his own, and speaking of Widmark being scummy, Road House is not to be missed, a nasty little blackmail noir also featuring Ida Lupino and Cornel Wilde. And if you, like me, like or at least can handle Richard Brooks's particular brand of eager earnestness, Deadline U.S.A. is also great, a newspaper noir(ish) starring Bogart as an editor trying to save his publication from shuttering without having to sell his soul in the process.

[Rayon Vert]

I'll second Road House, one of my very favorite noirs.

[beamish14]

Don’t pass up Frank and Eleanor Perry’s wonderful and still-chilling Ladybug, Ladybug. I really wonder if this is the first major American film to have a very overt homage to Bergman.

Rush is excellent, and is anchored by terrific performances from Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patric

The Trip to Bountiful is a really beautiful work. Return from the Ashes is worth considering, too

If you’re in the mood for ridiculous bullshit, Retroactive will satisfy you. One of the nuttiest time travel films ever. It’s like 12 Monkeys crossed with Kalifornia

It's me, or is there huge issues with Svet's caps on his Night of the Hunter UHD review ? They're extremely dark and dull, and just look like improperly converted to SDR. I doubt the UHD looks like this (caps-a-holic caps don't anyway).

[domino harvey]

Yellow Sky is by far the best title on that list

Svet's UHD caps have always been badly converted.

[ryannichols7]

Cowboys and Aliens (2011) is being released on UHD. how is this even justifiable?

[therewillbeblus]

Because it's an action movie with special effects. Someone could use a reverse argument towards Twelve Angry Men - "Why do I need to see a couple extra wrinkles on people's faces as they emote in a chamber piece in 4K?" Both schools of thought (a format upgrade is justifiable because I want to see a quality film look optimal; a format upgrade is justifiable because the film's aesthetics or actions would benefit the most from top-visual presentation to enhance superficial quality) are valid, and I actually tend to side more with the latter/Cowboys and Aliens rationale when it comes to prioritization, though I have no interest in that particular film getting prioritized
