Massive Rambo 4K Collection Is as Robust as Stallone

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:00:00 -0500

The brand-new 4K Rambo collection from Lionsgate landed in my mailbox and wow --- it is undeniably the end-all-be-all of releases for the action movie fan. (At least it’s the best since the 4K steelbook collection!) Coming in a sturdy Digipack case with six discs and digital codes, the collection is designed to impress, and it does. The official synopsis of the collection from Lionsgate reads: Since its debut nearly four decades ago, the Rambo series starring Sylvester Stallone has become one of the most iconic action- movie franchises of all time. An ex-Green Beret haunted by memories of Vietnam, the legendary fighting machine known as Rambo has battled small-town prejudice, freed POWs, rescued his commanding officer from the Soviets, and liberated missionaries in Myanmar....

Echoes: 12 Wide Releases That Could Define the Second Half of 2026

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 12:02:12 -0500

Six months down, six to go! The first half of 2026 was full of boundary-pushing blockbusters that changed the way Hollywood filmmakers think of modern audiences. But the year's biggest cinematic swings are still to come as Hollywood gears up for a crowded finish, and expectations have never been higher or even riskier. I have compiled a list of 12 wide-release films that could define the second half of 2026, as did Obsession (2026) and Backrooms (2026) for the first half. Disclosure Day Disclosure Day is a sci-fi thriller directed by Steven Spielberg with Emily Blunt and Josh Connor in the cast. The story follows a contest to publish the government's highly confidential evidence of life beyond Earth that has been hidden for years. The...

CHARADE Blu-ray Review: Spies, Danger, Laughs and Fashion an Eclectic Criterion Mix

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 11:00:00 -0500

'Comedy' and 'thriller' are not genres that often go together; or if they do, the emphasis is generally on the comedy aspect and not the thrills. If there are thrills, they are usually brushed off as unserious enough to relax without concern for the well being of the characters that you might get to know over 90-100 minutes. But this is not the case with Charade. As one image in the (amazing) opening title sequence by Maurice Binder shows, this film is a definite mix of comedy, thriller, and romance. And all are equally on display and relevant to the story. It makes for something of an atypical film, looking through the lens of any one of these genre on the other two. But perhaps that's...

Sound And Vision: John Carney

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:00:05 -0500

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week we discuss two odd music videos by John Carney. John Carney has made a name for himself as a director of films in which music is heavily featured. He broke through with the drama Once, which starred Glen Hansard, lead singer of The Frames, as a busker on the streets of Dublin, who falls in love with a Czech woman who is also a musician (played by Markéta Irglová), in a relationship that centers around music and miscommunication. You see them falling for each other, through playing songs together. Irglová and Hansard had such a natural chemistry, that they later started a relationship for a few...

Friday One Sheet: NIGHT NURSE

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:02:10 -0500

Is the erotic thriller back? Sundance entry Night Nurse makes a solid case for the return of a genre that peaked (peeked? piqued?) in the 1990s and then quietly disappeared over the past two and a half decades. The key art is dark and moody, a play of shadow and light that would make any neo-noir (another genre that was on the rise at the end of the last century) proud. The perfect jaw line, the full lips, and bakelite phone, all harken back to feel just a bit retro, while still evoking the image sharpness of modern filmmaking. And that proud chin is doing yeoman's work in the darkness here, allowing for the perfect spot to house all the text of the poster, in...

THE FURIOUS Interview: Star Joe Taslim

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:02:09 -0500

After a career as a judo champion, Joe Taslim turned to movies, with roles in The Raid: Redemption (2011), Fast & Furious 6, Star Trek Beyond, and Mortal Kombat. In The Furious, he plays Navin, a journalist searching for his missing wife. In the process he uncovers a child trafficking ring, leading to some of the most sustained and exciting action sequences on screen this year. Taslim talked to ScreenAnarchy via Zoom. ScreenAnarchy: Let's start with your training for the movie. Joe Taslim: I think I got to Bangkok two, three weeks prior and straightaway jumped into the choreography. But before that, I prepped myself a couple months. So I trained three months before Bangkok, but mostly about physicality, endurance, and stamina. In action scenes,...

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:02:02 -0500

The action star Xie Miao has worked in film for decades, including playing Jet Li's son in My Father Is a Hero (1995). After earning a degree in Ethnic Sports, Xie worked in television on martial arts shows. Roles in films like Ip Man: The Awakening led to the Eye for an Eye franchise. In The Furious, Xie plays Wang Wei, a freelance handyman in an unnamed Southeast Asian city. An incident in China left him with a metal plate in his skull. Now mute and in exile, his world revolves around his daughter Rainy (Yang Enyou). Her kidnapping sets in motion one of the most propulsive action movies of the year.

THE DEVIL QUEEN Review: Blood and Glitter in the Streets of Rio

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0500

The seedy underbelly of 1970s Rio de Janeiro: drugs and strippers, singers and drag queens, fast cars and fast sex, shaved legs and slit throats, crime and punishment. But most importantly: guns and glitter. Do some of these points feel a little out of place for a standard crime thriller? Maybe, but this is a thriller of a different colour, figuratively and literally. The Devil Queen has received a recent 4K Restoration courtesy of Kino Lorber, and is set for a limited release across the USA. This strange queer cult film, writer and directed by Antonio Carlos da Fontoura, shows a side of the Brazilian city in 1974 that defies easy definition. The story of a gay drug kingpin whose lust for violence and for attractive...

In the time since By Hook or by Crook premiered at the 2001 Frameline Film Festival and established itself as a landmark of queer cinema, the two writer/director/stars behind the film have gone in very different directions. Silas Howard has become one of the most respected television directors of the 21st century, made history as the first trans director to work on Transparent, and continues to make both narrative and documentary films. Harry Dodge became an interdisciplinary artist, whose work earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017, and more recently an author; his 2020 book My Meteorite Or, Without the Random There Can Be No New Thing was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice.
