The following titles are being released on Tuesday, Nov. 10, unless otherwise noted:
Planet of the Vampires (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)
Details: 1965, Radiance Films
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: This low-budget Italian science fiction-horror hybrid, directed by Mario Bava, is seen as an early influence for Dan O’Bannon’s “Alien.”
In deep space, the spaceship Gailliott answers a distress signal from its sister ship, Aura, sent from an unexplored planet, As the Gailliott attempts to land, members of the crew unaccountably begin to attack each other.
The movie is slow at times, but also very atmospheric as the astronauts begin to experience paranoia, possession and acts of violence — all caused by the planet’s parasitic bodiless inhabitants who want to flee from their dying world.
One-time leading man Barry Sullivan heads the international cast.
And similarities to “Alien” abound in “Vampires” — most notably, the investigation of a giant alien spacecraft that contains giant skeletons.
The set features the 90-minute Italian and 88-minute English versions of the movie. The movie’s ending offers a nice, unexpected twist.
Technical aspects: 4K: 2160p ultra-high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; Italian and English 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio monaural; English subtitles; Blu-ray: 1080p high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; Italian and English 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio monaural; English subtitles.

Memoirs of a Geisha (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + digital)
Details: 2005, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
Rated: PG-13, mature subject matter, sexual content
The lowdown: Rob Marshall directed this adaptation of Arthur Golden’s best-selling novel starring Ziyi Zhang, Ken Watanabe, Michelle Yeoh and Gong Li.
Zhang stars as Chiyo, a girl from an impoverished home sold by her father to a geisha house in Kyoto. There she begins her training as a geisha but is constantly threatened and abused by Hatsumomo (Li), the house’s resident geisha.
After many tribulations, Chiyo finally finds happiness with Watanabe’s Ken Iwamura, a rich patron. The movie traces Chiyo’s life from pre- to post-World War II.
The cast also includes Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Tsai Chin, Mako and Kaori Momoi.
The movie is a feast for the eyes, outshining the events in the 155-minute feature.
Technical aspects: 2160p ultra-high definition, 2.39:1 widescreen picture; English Dolby Atmos (7.1 Dolby TrueHD compatible), English and French 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and Spanish 5.1 Dolby digital; English SDH, English, French and Spanish subtitles.
Don’t miss: Extras, all on the Blu-ray disc, include several behind-the-scenes featurettes; a commentary track with Marshall and co-producer John DeLuca; a production commentary by the movie’s costume designer, production designer and editor; costume illustrations; a behind-the-scenes photo gallery; and a look at the recipes of Chef Nobu.
Lock Up: Season One, Volume 1 (Blu-ray)
Details: 1959, Classic Flix
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: One-time leading man Macdonald Carey (“Shadow of a Doubt,” “Streets of Laredo”) stars as Herbert L.. Maris, a corporate lawyer who spends much of his time on criminal cases helping to free innocent people.
Maris is usually aided, most times reluctantly, by police detective Lt. Jim Weston (John Doucette), who uncovers facts to ensure the acquittal of Maris’s clients.
The Blu-ray features the first 13 episodes of the series. The fun of watching the episodes is the list of noted character actors and future stars who appear throughout the series. These include Robert Conrad, Harry Dean Stanton, Angie Dickinson, Dyan Cannon, Mary Tyler Moore, Burt Reynolds, Gavin MacLeod, Ellen Corby, Jay Novello, Leo Gordon, Whit Bissell, Nancy Gates, Myron Healey, Richard Reeves, Joseph Crehan and Addison Richards.
The cases dramatized in the series are taken from the files of the actual Maris, a Philadelphia attorney.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.38:1 full-screen picture; English 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio monaural.
Second Chorus / The Fabulous Dorseys: Special Edition (Blu-ray)
Details: 1940, 1947, Film Masters
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: Sometimes a weak script can undermine the most talented of performers.
One such example is “Second Chorus,” starring Fred Astaire, Burgess Meredith and Paulette Goddard.
In “Second Chorus,” Astaire, who was born in 1899 plays college student Danny O’Neill, a trumpet player, who along with rival trumped player, Hank Taylor (Meredith, born in 1907), play in a college band while vying for a spot in Artie Shaw’s orchestra.
Both men also compete for the affections of their manager, Ellen Miller (Paulette Goddard, onetime Mrs. Charlie Chaplin, and future Mrs. Meredith — the couple were married in 1944).
This is not one of Astaire’s better movies, but even in an average production, his dancing can enthrall you. Simply put, Astaire and Meredith stretch credulity as college students, which undermine the movie.
It’s actually Shaw and his orchestra who steal the movie with their musical numbers.
“The Fabulous Dorseys” centers on bandleader brothers, Tommy and Jimmy, in this account of their rise from small-town musicians to popular big-band leaders.
To add some drama, the movie has the brothers constantly bickering until a falling-out splits them. It’s the machinations of childhood friend, Jane Howard (Jane Blair), a singer, who gets them back together.
How much of the story is true or pure Hollywood is something the viewer will have to decide. But the big-band music and swing numbers propel the film.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.37:1 full-screen picture; English DTS-HD Master Audio monaural; English closed-captioned.
Don’t miss: A 24-page booklet with essays is the main extra.
Four Rooms (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)
Details: 1995, Kino Lorber Studio Classics
Rated: R, strong language, sexuality, drug use
The lowdown: A 1990s’ farce featuring four segments each written and directed by a different filmmaker — Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.
Ted the Bellhop (Tim Roth) is hopping his first night on the job. Plus, the hotel’s very unusual guests are about to place him in some outrageous predicaments.
It seems that the New Year’s Eve evening is serving up one unbelievable happening after another as Ted must deal with the likes of Kathy Griffin, Marc Lawrence, Madonna, Ione Skye, Tarantino, Lili Taylor, David Proval, Marisa Tomei, Tamlyn Tomita, Jennifer Beals, Alicia Witt and Bruce Willis.
Unfortunately, the directors and cast members can’t live up to the level as the script lets them down. The film’s craziness fails to live up to its potential.
Technical aspects: 4K: 2160p ultra-high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English subtitles; Blu-ray: 1080p high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English subtitles.
Don’t miss: Extras include a commentary by film historian-writer Julie Kirgo and writer-filmmaker Peter Hankoff on both discs and, on the Blu-ray disc, interviews with Roth, Rodriguez, Tomita, Beals and Anders; an archival featurette and an archival documentary with Tarantino, Rodriguez, Anders, Rockwell, Lawrence Bender and Antonio Banderas.
“Fantastique: The Dreams and Nightmares of French Cinema” (Blu-ray)
Details: 1930-96, Radiance Films
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: A six-disc set offering a sextet of magical, surreal and sometimes scary features that blur the boundary between horror and wonder as they put the spotlight on the mysterious, magical and unexplained lurking in the ordinary.
The movies spotlighted here include:
“Dans la Nuit” (1930), directed by Charles Vanel, about a quarry worker who, shortly after his wedding, is disfigured in a mining accident. He takes to wearing a mask that is scarier than the scars underneath it.
Soon, his bride is tempted by the promise of happier days with another man. The movie, released in the early days of sound, was soon condemned to obscurity. However, it is a viscerally affecting story of love and happiness and terror and guilt, with memorable cinematography and creative editing.
“La Nuit Fantastique” (1942), directed by Marcel L. Herbier, centers on a Denis, a philosophy student who makes ends meet by working nights at a fresh food market. Always exhausted, he often falls asleep and dreams about Irène, a beautiful woman dressed in white. One night he follows her on a strange adventure across Paris.
This is one of the most successful French films produced during the German occupation. The movie is a lovely tale driven by dream logic.
“Le Diable Souffle” (1947), by Edmond T. Greville, is a moody story of unrequited love, broken dreams and frustrated desires, all driven by an unusual small-island setting that is battered by winds and rain, when not bathed in idyllic sunshine.
Jean Kerchborn’s “Le Golem” (1967) centers on a man who mistakenly swaps hats with somebody named Athanase Pernath, the unnamed man appears to be living the stranger’s life in his dreams.
Pernath, a jewel cutter and book restorer is entangled in his neighbors’ decadent stories of jealousy, passion and revenge, while rumors spread that an menacing figure known as the Golem has reappeared after 33 years.
This is a metaphysical tale inspired by Jewish folklore.
Catherine Deneuve appears to control people with her mind in Juan Luis Bunuel’s “The Woman with Red Boots” (1974). Fernando Rey plays her rich patron who begins to stalk her, then invites her to his country house where she can write her memoir.
The patron also invites the director of an arts magazine with whom Deneuve’s character has become obsessed. A strange game of cat-and-mouse ensues in this allegory on art’s power to control people and warp perceptions.
Finally, Marcello Mastroianni stars in Raul Ruiz’s “Three Lives and Only One Death” (1996), which centers on four intertwining tales. In the first, Mastroianni plays an affable man who tells a stranger about the time fairies devoured years of his life. In the second, he is a professor who abandons his life to become a beggar. Mastroianni plays a strange butler in the third tale in which a young couple is left a mansion, but the catch is they must retain the butler.
The last story ties the previous three together.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.33:1 full-screen picture (“Dans la Nuit,” “Le Golem”), 1.37:1 full-screen picture (“La Nuit Fantastique,” Le Diable Souffle”), 1.85:1 widescreen picture (“The Woman with Red Boots.” Three Lives and Only One Death”); French LPCM monaural; English subtitles.
Don’t miss: Bonus options include a commentary and introduction to “Dans la Nuit”; an archival interview with Herbier on “La Nuit Fantastique”; an interview with French cinema expert Ginette Vincendeau on “La Nuit Fantastique” and French cinema under the German occupation; a commentary on “Le Diable Souffle” and an interview with Greville; an interview with author-film critic Kim Newman on “Le Golem” and Gustav Meyrink’s novel and an archival introduction to the movie by journalist-writer Louis Pauwels; French, Italian and English audio options for “The Woman with Red Boots,” interviews with Deneuve and with fashion expert Matteo Augello about the movie and a visual essay by critic-author Samm Deighan; a commentary on “Three Lives and Only One Death{ and an archival interview with Marcello and Chiara Mastroianni about the movie; a documentary on French cinéma fantastique then and now, featuring various filmmakers; and a 120-page booklet.
Above the Law (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)
Details: 1988, Toy Robot Video-MVD Visual Entertainment
Rated: R, violence, language
The lowdown: In his debut feature film, Steven Seagal portrays Nico Toscani, a former Special Operations Vietnam veteran, Akido expert and Chicago detective who finds himself investigating an international drug ring.
But when the suspects are allowed to walk free, Toscani is ordered to turn in his badge and gun.
Now, with his back against the wall, and family and friends in danger from former CIA operatives trafficking drugs and planning a political assassination, Toscani decides he is not out of the action because no one is above the law.
“Above the Law” costars Pam Grier as Toscani’s partner, Henry Silva as the psychotic crime lord and Sharon Stone as Toscani’s wife, Sara.
The movie, directed by Andrew Davis, is thin on characterization but heavy on gunfire, explosions and hand-to-hand combat sequences.
Technical aspects: 4K: 2160p ultra-high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English SDH subtitles; Blu-ray: 1080p high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English SDH subtitles.
Don’t miss: Extras include a commentary track by Davis and Grier, an archival interview with Seagal and an interview with composer David Michael Frank.
Miranda (Blu-ray)
Details: 1985, Cult Films
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: Tito Brass directed and wrote the screenplay for this foray into his familiar erotic cinema.
Serena Grand, crowned as the “Sexiest Woman in Italy” stars as the innkeeper Miranda in this post-World War II story of a young woman awaiting the return of her soldier husband.
She has had no word from or about him and after years of waiting begins to wonder whether she is holding a place for a man who may already be gone for good.
Miranda is the heart of her busy inn, where she is desired by three men who hope to win more than a room for the night. Berto, a devoted farmhand has loved her quietly for years and seeks nothing but a chance. There also is a well-off older suitor who can offer Miranda comfort, security and an escape from the daily grind. The third man is a charming American who brings the promise of somewhere beyond the fields.
Miranda, though, is in no hurry to choose. With open curiosity and a healthy love of pleasure in her body, she tastes what each of them has to offer, weighing tenderness against wealth and adventure before deciding whether any one of them in worth keeping.
“Miranda” is richly sensual, ripe and earthy in which pleasure is not a sin to be punished, but simply part of being fully alive.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.78:1 widescreen picture; Italian, English, Spanish 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English SDH and English subtitles.
Don’t miss: An interview with Brass is the main extra.
Beatrice Cenci (Blu-ray)
Details: 1969, 88 Films
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: Italian filmmaker Lucio Fulci considered this historical drama his finest work. Set in the late 16th century, the movie follows the fall of one of Italy’s most prestigious families – the Cencis.
The movie chronicles the horrific events that led to the demise of the family. Through a pair of timelines, “Beatrice Cenci” establishes how and why, this much-beloved family was sent to the guillotine in 1599.
The move was very controversial upon its release, drawing strong condemnation from the Catholic church and set Fulci on a collision course with the graphic violence that would become attached with most of his popular works.
This newly-released version is uncut and uncensored.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; English and Italian LPCM monaural; English subtitles.
Don’t miss: Bonus materials include a commentary genre expert Troy Howarth and interviews with actor Antonio Casagrande and Stephen Thrower, author of “Nightmare USA” and “Beyond Terror.
Salon Kitty (Blu-ray)
Details: 1976, Cult Films
Rated: Not rated, sexual content, nudity
The lowdown: Tinto Brass, co-wrote and directed this World War II-era Nazi-ploitation feature about Wallenberg (Helmut Berger), a cold-blooded SS colonel tasked with transforming carefully selected Nazi loyal beauties into spies who are then placed in a brothel run by Madame Kitty to work as prostitutes and gather secrets to help the Third Reich and ferret out enemies or those disloyal to the regime.
Wallenberg has hidden microphones installed in every room where he can gather information on officers, diplomats and party officials who visit the brothel to unwind.
His motives are not so much patriotic but are more a means to use compromising material to blackmail his way to the very pinnacle of the party — perhaps even replacing Hitler.
Among Wallenberg’s new recruits is Margherita (Teresa Ann Savoy), an idealistic young woman who truly believes she is serving the Reich by giving herself to its soldiers.
But, little by little, she begins to notice strange details all around her, and she uncovers the truth behind the salon and Wallenberg. Her faith is shattered and her newly-found disgust hardens into a need for revenge.
Ingrid Thulin as Madame Kitty, who has her own reasons to want Wallenberg destroyed, aligns herself with Margherita, who sets out on a perilous plot of double deception.
Brass, as usual, blends eroticism, power and betrayal into a lurid display of corruption, using sex as a weapon.
The Blu-ray offers a restored version of the movie from Brass’s archive print with 21 minutes of censored footage reinstated.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; English and Italian 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English SDH subtitles.
Don’t miss: The main extra is an interview with Brass.
The Blade Spares None / The Hurricane: Limited Edition (Blu-ray)
Details: 1971, 1972, Arrow Video
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: Nora Miao stars in these two Golden Harvest releases from filmmaker Raymond Chow. Her performances in the two films helped put her and the company on the map as well as re-igniting the female-led wuxia genre.
In “The Blade Spares None,” Miao plays swordswoman Ho Li-Chun, seeking revenge for her father’s assassination by a greedy fiend posing as a prince.
Alongside her stalwart comrades Tang Ching-Yun (Patrick Tse Yin) and Chen Jo-Yu (James Tien) they will defeat anyone who stands in their way in their pursuit of the imposter.
Next, “The Big Boss” filmmaker Lo Wei directs Miao, once again alongside Patrick Tse Yin, in “The Hurricane.” This action-packed story of conspiracy and treachery finds Miao and Yin forming an unlikely alliance to try to stop a corrupt minister from betraying the Empire.
Miao displays her aerial swordplay form in both movies.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 2.39:1 widescreen picture; Mandarin LPCM monaural; English subtitles.
Don’t miss: Extras include a commentary on “The Blade Spares None” by Arne Venema & Stefan Hammond, an appreciation of Miao by historian Victor Fan, a commentary on “The Hurricane” by Jonathan Clements, an interview with actor-stunt coordinator Mars and a booklet featuring writing from Camille Zaurin and Johnny Burnett (aka The Fanatical Dragon).
The Corruptor (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)
Details: 1999, Toy Robot Video
Rated: R, violence, language
The lowdown: Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg star in this police action-thriller directed by James Foley.
Chow portrays NYPD Lt. Nick Chen, the head of the Asian Gang Unit in Manhattan’s Chinatown.
Chen is secretly involved with the local triads.
However, when idealistic, rookie officer Danny Wallace (Wahlberg) is assigned as Chen’s partner, the two quickly become involved in a brutal Chinatown turf war between the established Tong factions and the upstart Fukienese Dragons.
The relationship between Chen and Wallace slowly grows as the tension between them subsides.
The cast of “The Corruptor” includes Ric Young, Paul Ben-Victor, Jon Kit Lee, Brian Cox and Andrew Pang.
The movie’s editing and cinematography also are benefits.
Technical aspects: 2160p ultra-high definition, 2.39:1 widescreen picture; English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English SDH subtitles; Blu-ray: 1080p high definition, 2.39:1 widescreen picture; English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio; English SDH subtitles.

The Reborn (DVD)
Details: 2025, IndiePix Films
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: Brothers Manuel and Oscar, operating in Santiago, Chile, under the thumb of an organized crime network have spent the past 15 years in a dangerous, but profitable business — helping fugitives vanish by faking their deaths.
Using a secretive chemical process, they make their clients appear dead, bury them alive, and resurrect hours later across the Argentina-Chile border.
Now, Manuel is retired, working as a rural doctor and about to become a father. But his past still has a hold on him, and one last job propels him into a spiral of betrayal and violence.
The feature combines the aesthetics of a border Western and the atmosphere of a Greek tragedy. The film’s cinematography and soundtrack add to this thriller.
Technical aspects: 1.85:1 widescreen picture; Spanish 5.1 and 2.0 Dolby digital; English subtitles.
Where’s Officer Tuba? (Blu-ray)
Details: 1986, 88 Films
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: Sammo Hung stars a Tuba, a timid police officer more interested in music than capturing criminals.
When Tuba is given a dangerous assignment, working with detective Chow, to hunt down a band of blackmailers. They are unsuccessful in capturing the gang. In the process, Chow is mortally wounded and before he dies, makes Tuba promise to apprehend the gangsters and avenge him.
On a later assignment with rookie officer Cheung, he forgets his promise to Chow, whose spirit soon appears to haunt Tuba, forcing him to fulfill his mission.
This average action Hong Kong ghost-comedy is not one of Hung’s best features. The supporting cast includes Jacky Cheung, Dennis Chan, Paul Chun, Wah Yuen and Bolo Yeung.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; Cantonese and English 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio monaural; English subtitles.
Don’t miss: Among the extras is a commentary by Hong Kong film experts Frank Djeng and F.J. DeSanto, English opening and closing credits, an image gallery and Hong Kong poster artwork.
The Owl vs. Bumbo: Limited Edition (Blu-ray)
Details: 1984, 88 Films
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: Sammo Hung directs and costars in this martial-arts comedy about two former crooks who find themselves teaching at a reform school.
Hung’s Chan and George Lam’s Wong, also known as Bumbo and the Owl, have put their criminal past behind them. That is until Chung, a former police officer, returns to blackmail them by coercing the pair into the reform school gig, where they teach the youngsters the value of self-respect.
The movie mixes laughs and action and even some dancing. More notably, it marks the film debut of future Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh.
The Hong Kong movie’s Western influences include “To Sir With Love” and “The Blackboard Jungle.”
For Hung fans, this is a fun, but not essential movie to his overall work.
Technical aspects: 1080p high definition, 1.85:1 widescreen picture; Cantonese 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio monaural; English subtitles.
Don’t miss: Extras include a commentary by Hong Kong film expert David West and a “Those Who Kam-Bo Teach” featurette by Ricky Baker about the movie.
