A new batch of Blu-rays will be released soon or early next year, most of them from KINO LORBER. They are all US releases.
GOLIATH & THE VAMPIRES (1961) starring Gordon Scott. The Blu-ray will be released as SAMSON VS THE VAMPIRES…why? I dunno. The prints currently available are mostly poor so a nice Blu-ray of this title is highly anticipated.
THE WAR LORD (1965) starring Charlton Heston. Excellent movie. Looking forward to this.
RASPUTIN – THE MAD MONK (1966). Maybe my favourite Christopher Lee / Hammer movie.
THE PERILS OF GWENDOLINE IN THE LAND OF THE YIK YAK (1984), or just GWENDOLINE, starring Tawny Kitaen. Story starts in contemporary times and ends up in a lost civilization with female gladiators and a chariot race with women in lieu of horses. The second half is a must see for PEPLUM fans. For those who don’t know, boatload of female flesh and Brent Huff as the sole provider of male flesh. The emphasis is on nudity. Excellent soundtrack. Totally silly and yet entertaining. From the Just Jaeckin, director of EMMANUELLE (1974).
THE MAGIC SWORD (1962) starring Gary Lockwood. Classic film.
COBRA WOMAN (1944) starring Maria Montez, Sabu and Jon Hall. Can’t wait to see this!!! Love this movie! Incredible Technicolor.
THE WONDERS OF ALADDIN (1961) starring Donald O’Connor. This release will be interesting. I must say that I’m not a big fan of it but maybe the Blu-ray treatment will change my mind. There’s really good stuff in it but the story is lacking. I’m still happy for its BR release.
