New to stores this week, we have Sylvester Stallone’s second comeback film Rambo… and not much else! Okay, I guess that’s not entirely true. Woody Allen’s Cassandra’s Dream is out today, along with Paul Schrader’s The Walker and Renny Harlin’s Cleaner. Also on DVD this week are some old Dario Argento flicks including Phenomena, kung fu classic Come Drink With Me, and Asylum’s take-off on Speed Racer, cleverly titled Street Racer.

    Didn’t know that Renny Harlin’s latest craptacular (Cleaner) was coming to DVD. Anyone seen this one yet?

    Kurt,

    I saw it at the film festival and didn’t think it was that awful. Cool premise, but it doesn’t hold all the way through.

    It’s easily not the worst thing Harlin has done.

    “I Am a Cyborg (but that’s OK)” by Park Chan-wook came out on bluray in the UK, so I’m probably going to import that if I can figure out how. Gotta love those region-less blurays, and the expanded regions as it is. Still… it’s no high density DVD

  • Primal

    I’m a huge fan of Italian Horror films, but this new Dario Argento Collection is quite disappointing. Tenebre was pretty good, but the rest aren’t really worthy of being in this. If they put volume numbers on it, then I can understand why they included his weaker films in the collection.
