Star Musketeer Bismark (1984). Art by Yoshiyuki Takani.

Imagine John Wick; but instead of the dog, the gangsters kill his... watermelons? Good action and anti racist message; ahead of its time in the mainstream action genre. Bonus points (always) for using the painted poster and a slipcover. #filmsky #charlesbronson #moviesky #physicalmedia #mrmajestyk

My copy of Retribution, signed by director Guy Magar and composer Alan Howarth, who did the soundtrack for a lot of movies that we love. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror

Not my favorite Fulci, but it's a Fulci, so I can live with it. The gore is legit though. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #luciofulci

An incredibly sleazy movie for Cushing. It's almost like seeing Mr. Rogers in Maniac. This cool release by @grindhousefilm.bsky.social comes with two versions of the cover; censored and uncensored. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #petercushing

Sure, there's a US release of this; but the French cover just slaps so hard. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #spiders #williamshatner

This is an awesome comedy, sure, but it's also one of the best zombie movies in the past 30 years. It's gory, exciting and bad things happen to good people. Glorious. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #zombies #steelbook

I've seen these two so many times on VHS when I was a lad. Dick Maas gave me an elevator phobia for the next 20 years. My getting stabbed by a guy in a diving suit phobia is still going strong though. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #dickmaas #dutch

The Mondo bluray is gorgeous, with a separate clear plastic slipcover that goes over the steelbook. The #4K is not as fancy, but I like the artwork, so I'll keep both. Watched it again last night and now I can't get the haunting theme song out of my head. #filmsky #japan #anime #ghostintheshell

May he live forever...

A solidly priced five movie set. Picture quality is good and the content is mostly their famous stuff. It's scary how relevant Duck Soup is even today. I think it makes a great double feature with The Great Dictator. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #marxbrothers #comedy #classicmovies

A fairly "normal" Teruo Ishii film about competing motorcycle gangs. It's laden with contemporary music, action and boobs. A bit of the vibe and some scenes appear to have been copied later in the Israeli Lemon Popsicle series; especially the bike duel at the cliff. #filmsky #japan #teruoishii

Mid shelf Hammer film about Jack the Ripper's daughter. It looks great and has a good atmosphere and performances. I liked it because it was a bit different. Check it out. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #slasher #jacktheripper #hammer

Interesting documentary. It's sad how he got treated; he was really good in his role. The older I get, the more I appreciate this sequel. I hear he's seriously ill now and needs funds. Here's the link, in case you want to contribute too: gofund.me/37fcc7e25 #filmsky #horror #nightmareonelmstreet

Two movies and a show for $10 is fair. The first one is beloved cheese; flawed but charming, with one of the most famous theme songs of the decade. The sequel is dreadful and unintentionally funny. Legacy is actually quite good for what it is and ads to the lore. #filmsky #moviesky #mortalkombat

Northern lights in the sky tonight.

A war veteran loses his whole family because he can't afford healthcare; and the authorities don't empathize. Fortunately we live in better times now... It's a great looking, well directed and acted remake, but also pointless. Kobayashi already did the better. #filmsky #japan #harakiri #moviesky

A crazy movie that lets go as much as was allowed back then. The opening sequence is glorious and the finale is unhinged. Teruo Ishii puts Reiko Ike to good use. She's gorgeous and badass. Don't expect Kurosawa stuff, it wasn't supposed to be. #filmsky #japan #moviesky #teruoishii #reikoike #yakuza

I just thought about him yesterday. He was an amazing actor and a link to the golden age of Japanese cinema. Is anyone left from that generation?

I always loved the poster and I'm glad they used it for the cover. Delightful black and white schlock. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #screamingskull

Do you read Sutter Cane? I know I will... This just arrived. The actual book from the movie, made real. I hope it's good, but it's a cool collectors item either way. Great release by @echohorror.com #filmsky #booksky #suttercane #inthemouthofmadness #johncarpenter

A nice lenticular box set. Been a Chucky fan forever, although the last movie in the series wasn't much to my liking. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #chucky #childsplay

Lenticular cover by Jason Fabok. Unfortunately not signed, but still gorgeous. #comics #dccomics #batman #theflash

Rewatch after probably 20 years. Absolute classic. Mifune does unhinged characters so well. Nowadays there is nothing left of the famous gate. Just a marker in a kid's playground where it used to stand long ago... #filmsky #japan #moviesky #physicalmedia #criterion #rashomon #akirakurosawa

Shinoda gives us a more subtle and low key Yakuza film from what we're used to experiencing via Fukasaku or Gosha. It's beautifully filmed in Nouvelle Vague fashion, so if you are into Truffaut or Godard, you'll probably appreciate this. #filmsky #japan #moviesky #physicalmedia #criterion #yakuza

A fun double feature. The first one is the better movie, but it's worth seeing both. I like ghost stories as a little break from gore and violence. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #ghosts #whitenoise

Before Hunger Games, The Purge and the 2024 Election, there was Battle Royale; Kinji Fukasaku's final film. The failure of humanity, depicted through unapologetic, concise bursts of violence; appropriately helmed by Fukasaku's cinematic heir Takeshi Kitano. #filmsky #japan #battleroyale #fukasaku

It feels like part King Kong, part Jurassic Park, part dogshit. What it doesn't feel like is #Godzilla. The effects hold up well. The Brooklyn Bridge scene is excellent. The rest, however... No. I hate the story the casting and especially the 200 baby Godzillas. #filmsky #steelbook #physicalmedia

A 5 movie collection about Japanese young delinquents who ride motorcycles and fight... Or something. The camera moves quite unusually at times and I even liked the songs. While my main draw here was Meiko Kaji, I discovered Akiko Wada and need more now... #filmsky #japan #meikokaji #straycatrock

That one time I went to New York to visit the #Ghostbusters

You'd never expect the French to adapt this book into a movie, but it actually worked. This was pretty famous when I was a kid, but I didn't actually see it until decades later. No matter how bad the dog is, the human always turns out to be the bigger monster #filmsky #horror #baxter #physicalmedia

Bought this a long time ago, but waited to find part 4. Turns out it's a prequel with Radu's origin story and I could have just watched it. It's a decent #vampire movie in itself. The transfer is significantly better than the new release of part 4. It's unbelievable. #filmsky #physicalmedia #horror

This was finally rereleased, so I can continue the saga of Radu. It's cheaply made and makes the first movie look like a Spielberg production, but I'm just curious where it goes. Unfortunately the video quality is abysmal. Probably the worst bluray transfer I've ever seen. #filmsky #horror #vampire

I've seen this movie many times but didn't actually own a physic copy. I almost got the US steelbook, but this one looked so much better to me. I'm excited to see it in UHD. Adrian Lyne is one my favorite directors. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #4K #steelbook #jacobsladder

Nice looking Mexican haunted house feature from 1963. Jump scares, ghosts in mirrors, a disfigured servant, screams from faraway rooms, rats evil dogs, cobwebs; the whole package. You've seen a movie like this at least ten times. That's no reason to not see it again. #filmsky #horror #physicalmedia

Two Sonny Chiba movies directed by Teruo Ishii, who's toned it down significantly in comparison to his torture movies. It's kitschy martial arts fun, more reminiscent of Hong Kong than Japanese cinema. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #japan #teruoishii #sonnychiba #martialarts

Two gems by the underrated genius that is Norman J. Warren. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #normanjwarren #prey #inseminoid

Another day, another Hellraiser release. This steelbook contains the first three movies at minimal shelf space cost. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #steelbook #hellraiser

Excellent Mexican ghost story from 1934. Good cinematography and acting. It's not Bride of Frankenstein, but overall can compete with most genre stuff from Hollywood from that period. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror
