ELEVEN DAYS, ELEVEN NIGHTS 2 (1991) 88 Films 4K UHD+Blu-ray Review

Image
  88 Films dips back into the realm of Eurosleaze with their new 4K UHD+Blu-ray release of Joe D'Amato's softcore erotic melodrama ELEVEN DAYS, ELEVEN NIGHTS 2 (1991 - actually the third film in the series). What's a saucy lady to do when a freshly-deceased ex-lover asks her in his will to determine which of his conniving and perma-randy family members should inherit his business and fortune? Accept the challenge, of course, and get naked a lot. Unintentionally hilarious in its English-language audio option, as the American cast was apparently chosen more for looks and willingness to disrobe than acting ability, with some of the flattest line readings this side of Amber Waves. Notable for a late-period (and very chaste) appearance by Laura Gemser, who actual voice can be heard on the English track. The set includes a 4K UHD disc with the film, commentary, and Italian opening and closing credits as an extra, and a Blu-ray with those and many more insightful and amusing suppl...

  88 Films brings the sequel to THE PEACOCK KING (1988) to Blu-ray, SAGA OF THE PHOENIX (1989), starring Yuen Biao, Abe Hiroshi, Gloria Yip, and a Salacious Crumb-looking muppet, in a tale of otherworldly supernatural forces engaging in fireball-shooting, palm energy beams, Kung Fu, and frolicking through fields.

O.C. AND STIGGS (1985) Radiance Films Blu-ray Review

Image
  Robert Altman's rare 80s teen comedy O.C. AND STIGGS (1985) makes its Blu-ray debut this week, courtesy of Radiance Films . The transfer is great, the extras copious, and the cast more loaded than Jane Curtin's character in the film, but for me, it just didn't work. Excellent edition from Radiance for those who do enjoy its aggressively quirky tale and characters, though. Currently 40% off at Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4jbDul0 Full review here:
