Criterion has one of the great modern haunted house tales with one of Nicole Kidman’s best performances. Brett Ratner tries to remake Michael Mann, Lewis Teague does his first Stephen King and Roland Emmerich completely botches Godzilla. Paramount has a whole box set of frights with some 4K debuts including a surprise title that really gets under Peter’s skin. Indicator has some Jean Rollin and a box set of film noir. There is more Shaw Brothers, Sammo Hung, Mario Bava and, naturally, Bill Haley and the Comets. Plus the one thing that every show, big and small, needs – Muppets!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 0:00 - Intro</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 0:59 - Criterion (The Others (4K))</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 7:43 - Arrow Films (The Iron-Fisted Monk)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 9:51 - Shout!
