COMMON LAW WIFE (1961) / JENNIE: WIFE/CHILD (1968) Film Masters Blu-ray Review

 


Film Masters does it again with their first collaboration with Something Weird Video, a hicksploitation double feature of two films featuring young wives with older husbands, and the exploitationy melodramatic complications that ensue.

The stories of how these films came to be in their final forms are as entertaining as the films themselves, conveyed via commentaries featuring TCM Underground's Millie DeChirico, a solid "That's Hicksploitation" documentary with C Courtney Joyner, and illumination (and myth-busting) liner notes by Something's Weird's Lisa Petrucci (which I wish I'd read before recording this review, as I mistakenly repeated an inaccurate casting aspersion).

Transfer looks razor-sharp on both titles, presented in crisp black and white (so sharp that it helps suss out the two shooting sessions for COMMON LAW more clearly than ever).
A must for fans of Something Weird Video and rural melodrama shockers!

DOGMAN (2023) Theatrical Review

Image
  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.
