From Antonioni to Chaplin, post war Japanese police procedural to a rain-swept Gotham and a much-lauded crime epic, a Sidney Poitier western to a harrowing gut punch of a classic Vietnam war documentary, this month’s releases will no doubt offer a little bit of everything to everyone.

88 Films makes its 4K bow in style, serving up some of the finest martial arts captured on film in the forgotten Mark Dacascos gem, Drive, gifting it a native 4K DV HDR presentation and stomping Atmos track and shining up all the trashy 90's action very nicely indeed.  

Have lust and music ever looked so good? The Piano might answer the question.  

Graham Moore's striking Hitchcockian debut, The Outfit, comes to 4K Blu-ray in a stunning presentation

Hammer, Cannibals and Man-Eating Space Brains sees August's release schedule seemingly warming up for this year’s Halloween.

Naomi Watts goes above and beyond with an impressively physically demanding performance in a compelling true-life survival tale undermined by off-kilter support.  

Sizzling with the electric chemistry from its two leads, Out of Sight is the best Clooney/Soderbergh collaboration, Jennifer Lopez's best role, and one of the best adaptations of cool crime writer Elmore Leonard's works, even if Kino Lorber's 4K release is NOT cool.
