3 WOMEN and THE FOUR FEATHERS Criterion Blu-ray Reviews

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: November 17th, 2011 at 12:13 pm

The Criterion Collection has some of the most anal-retentive fans in the history of collecting. So I wonder how fans might stock 3 Women and The Four Feathers. Perhaps just by the number in the catalog, but with 3 Women – the Robert Altman film from 1977 starring Sissy Spacek and Shelly Duvall – does it get to go in a number section or in the T’s? And if you have a number section, shouldn’t Four Feathers – the 1939 adventure spectacle from Zoltan Korda, starring John Clements and Ralph Richardson – go in it? However you file them both are now out on Blu-ray and our reviews follow after the jump.

SEVEN and THE PLAYER Blu-ray Reviews

Seven, or Se7en (if you want to be like that) is now an all-timer. Upon release it was hailed pretty quickly, there’s already a BFI book on the film, The Criterion Collection put it out on laserdisc, and there was a super-special edition DVD released. And now the Blu-ray release is a big deal (this has been the year of Fincher on Blu-ray, with Fight Club, this and Alien 3 coming by the end of the year). This could be the last major release of the title (until the next format), and it is the sort of film that rounds out a collection. While The Player is one of Robert Altman’s biggest box office triumphs and one of his most crowd-pleasing films with an insider look at Hollywood. Both have hit Blu-ray, and my reviews of both follow after the jump.

Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H and Luke Greenfield’s THE GIRL NEXT DOOR Blu-ray Reviews

You know 20^th Century Fox used to be a pretty good studio. It’s hard to believe with all the crap they release these days, but there was a time when people used to get excited about the 20^th Century fanfare. Back when they worked with artists, back when they seem to be after something more than proficient mediocrity. M*A*S*H and The Girl Next Door are two of their winners, and my review of them is after the jump.
