Joan Crawford stars in Nicholas Ray’s Johnny Guitar.

Director Nicholas Ray’s (Bigger Than Life) one-of-a-kind 1954 western Johnny Guitar makes its official U.S. DVD and Blu-ray debut nearly 60 years after its theatrical premiere.

The classic film stars Joan Crawford (Humoresque) as a saloon owner battling the local townspeople headed by Emma (Mercedes McCambridge, Suddenly, Last Summer), the local sexually repressed, lynch-happy female rancher out to frame her for a string of robberies. The title cowboy, played by Sterling Hayden (1900), is a guitar-strumming drifter with a dark past who was once in love with Crawford and has been offered a job in her saloon. Sparks and bullets and lots more eventually begin to fly…

Also starring Scott Brady, Ward Bond (Rio Bravo), Ernest Borgnine (Red) and John Carradine (The Ten Commandments), Ray’s strikingly colorful, intricately constructed film »

Mill Creek 50 Movie Packs Discount Code And Giveaway

10 May 2012 7:32 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

If you’ve hunted around for movie bargains, you’ve probably seen some of Mill Creek Entertainment’s 50-Movie Packs on DVD. Apart from other great releases by Mill Creek, these packs are phenomenal boons to cinephiles looking to collect older titles.

There are three new packs available, and I want to not only let you in on a discount code, but I have one of the packs available for you to win.

I know a lot of people may be quick to overlook these packs, and not every movie included stands out as a major value, but there are some great titles in each of them, and fans of the genres will be pleasantly surprised by what they get out of the deal. I have to admit that there is something about seeing a 50-movie pack, especially when it doesn’t cost a couple of hundred dollars, or more, »

Michael Monahan Talks Horror Hosts and More

7 March 2012 10:22 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Horror fans today are spoiled. With the vast array of films available on DVD and Blu-ray via storefronts like Best Buy and Fye, online outlets like Amazon and Deep Discount, and rental/streaming services such as Netflix, there are few films that are unattainable. Virtually anything one might hear of is available some way, somewhere. But it wasn't always so...

Back at a time before disc (or VHS for that matter), the only way - and I mean the Only way - to see classic and not so classic genre pictures was on broadcast television. As a kid, I remember getting the local TV Guide and a yellow highlighter and systematically going through the listings, marking each and every show time of movies I'd heard about either from friends or ones that were obliquely mentioned in Forry Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland . I would meticulously go over each entry »

Retro Active: The Sentinel (1977)

3 February 2012 12:37 PM, PST | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »

by Nick Schager

What's new is always old, and in this recurring column, I'll be taking a look at the classic genre movies that have influenced today's new releases. In honor of Ti West's haunted-house tale The Innkeepers, this week it's Michael Winner's 1977 religious-supernatural thriller The Sentinel.

Women's lib leads straight to the gates of Hell in The Sentinel, though trying to read Michael Winner's 1977 film as a thematically and theologically coherent work is futile, since the only thought behind this woman-in-a-haunted-apartment tale is to sponge off the success of Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and The Omen. Overflowing with former and future stars, Winner's saga (based on Jeffrey Konvtiz's novel) posits female independence as the first step to trouble for Alison (Cristina Raines), a model introduced via a montage of photo shoots and magazine covers (which present her as simultaneously empowered and objectified) as well as happy-go-lucky »
