🦇 Nearly a century later, Roland West’s The Bat (1926) still casts long shadows. A silent Gothic whodunnit with laughs, suspense, and the masked villain that helped inspire Batman himself.

The Life of Chuck Blu-ray: a middle-ground film, a strong disc. Flanagan’s direction and the younger cast stand out, even if the pacing and Hiddleston’s late arrival drag it down. Video/audio/extras? A highlight.

Stylish, strange, and worth a look — The Man Called Noon blends spaghetti western grit with mystery. Crenna holds his own in the lead, and 88 Films gives the film a clean Blu-ray treatment (extras could be better, though).

Master and Commander sails in with a stunning steelbook and Dolby Vision seas, while Thunderbolt and Lightfoot punches through with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges in peak form. Two very different journeys — both worth the trip.

Some films comfort. Others confront. Through and Through (1973) is the latter.

Grzegorz Królikiewicz’s challenging debut lands on Blu-ray via Radiance Films with a stellar transfer and rare bonus material. Stark, abstract, and emotionally distant.

Vinegar Syndrome strikes again with a stack full of sleaze, shock, and surprise. From adult oddities and Hong Kong action to ‘90s erotic thrillers and arthouse gems — this is physical media curation at its most unhinged and unapologetic.

🌀 Five reasons my shelf is groaning this week… and every one of them says “Criterion.”

From neon-drenched indie chaos to sweaty ‘70s suspense — this 4K haul hits all the right tones.

Two trippy animated gems from Deaf Crocodile: The Tragedy of Man and The Pass & The Return. Mind-expanding, beautifully restored, and unlike anything else.

A solid trio just dropped:

📀 Dark City (Arrow 4K) – neo-noir cult gold

📀 Longlegs – SteelBook re-release for last year’s buzzy horror hit

📀 The Monkey – fresh from the press and loaded with potential

One moody, one macabre, one mysterious.

Picked up The Replacement Killers on Blu — the kind of movie where Chow Yun-Fat doesn’t say much but the pistols do.

The slipcover mimics a worn-out rental case, and honestly? That’s the vibe.

New pickup: Swordfish (2001) on 4K from Arrow.
Still sealed for now — but I’m curious to revisit this stylized, tech-slick mess in 4K UHD.

Just added 11 Rebels (4K) to the collection. Haven’t watched it yet, but the slipcover’s flawless and I’m fully on board for gritty samurai rebellion from Kazuya Shiraishi.

Just added the Connery Bond 6-film 4K set to the collection.

Haven’t watched the discs yet, but the slipcover arrived in pristine shape.

Looking forward to diving into the Ultra HD transfers soon.

Latest 4Ks in: Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In and Exhuma (both from Well Go USA).

One’s gritty Hong Kong action, the other’s stylish Korean horror.

Mail drop from The Movie Room 📦
Throne of Blood (BFI), For a Few Dollars More (Arrow), and Strange New Worlds (Eureka) all landed at once.
Samurai, western, sci-fi — all covered. Loving the slipcases on these.

Added The Prosecutor (2024) to the collection.
Well Go USA put out a solid 4K — Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, nice slipcover. No extras, but the transfer’s clean and the audio hits hard.
