STELLA MARIS (1918) VCI Entertainment Blu-ray Review



For those open to silent cinema, VCI Classic Films' new release of the restored Mary Pickford classic STELLA MARIS (1918) is a treat. Pickford stars in a dual role (which I'd never have realized if I didn't know going in) as an affluent bedridden woman and a downtrodden orphan in this melodrama that received accolades from no less than the President of the United States at the time.. When their paths cross, the illusion of Pickford as two people sharing the frame is flawless.

Nice restoration collaboration between Paramount Pictures, The Library of Congress, UCLA Library Film & Television Archive and The Mary Pickford Foundation gives us a sharp transfer and interesting extras.

DOGMAN (2023) Theatrical Review

  Luc Besson returns to directing with an odd action-drama, DOGMAN, starring Caleb Landry Jones as a wheelchair-bound drag performer and master of an army of canines ready to growl and prowl on his command. Points for using actual trained dogs and not CGI foolery, proof that things can still be done the old fashioned way and (shockily!) be all the more impressive for it.
