I decided to watch (rewatch) all the @criterion.bsky.social titles in my collection, starting with the 4K releases, Blu-ray, and DVD (by spine order).

This is a Criterion thread.
With the arrival of ‘RAW MEAT’, I finish my 4K UltraHD BLUE UNDERGROUND year.

Looking forward to ‘FIRE AND ICE’ and ‘CIRCLE OF IRON’ next year!

With the release of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TRILOGY, I end my Arrow Video year!

Not the biggest or flashiest, but its fill with movies my family and I enjoy.

If a title doesn’t contribute (repeat viewings) is moved on (sold/donated).

My last visit to B&N!

HIS GIRL FRIDAY is a classic, very curious to see original cut of THE FRONT PAGE for the 1st time.

(If possible) buy from B&N!!

Happy Wednesday!

Él (1953), a story about jealousy, paranoia all wrap around satire.

The movie feels like a (high end) sopa opera elevated by Arturo de Cordoba and a masterful performance by Delia Garces.

The 4K restoration is superb and the Del Toro interview is a fantastic feature.

For all the “I don’t care about the show anymore” I read for months.

NETFLIX crashing because of STRANGER THINGS new season, tells me people where full of shit 😆😭

TARSEM released two of the most strikingly beautiful (cinematography) movies of the 2000’s

Thanks to Umbrella Entertainment and Arrow Video now we can experience them in glorious 4K UltraHD.

DRIVE (2011), Nicolas Winding Refn took the simplest of plots, added stunning cinematography, violence, a minimalistic leading man, the perfect score and soundtrack.

The outcome, a layered neo-noir movie for the ages, endlessly rewatchable from beginning to end.

THE MASK (1994), back when it was released all I saw was looney tunes comedy and beautiful colors.

Now I see repress anger (a lot of it) sugar coated with looney tunes comedy and you know what? is very very entertaining.

The 4K looks superb, top 10 of the year type of transfer.

THE DESCENT (2005), claustrophobic, gory and violent with a dark psychological underline.

It could be the most balanced horror movie of the 21st century, this is Neil Marshall’s best work.

The 4K UltraHD looks stunning, so good, makes the movie better, id that’s even possible.

Another entry in the Memo Del Toro Criterion Collection, needless to say, stunning packaging!

Hopefully we will get all his filmography in the Collection (that would be something).

BUGONIA (2025), Yorgos Lanthimos dark comedy, comes with a relevant social message, great build-up and a masterful ending.

Stone and Plemons are absolutely amazing, is my favorite Lanthimos movie, how he balance a very depressing story with comedy and tension is genius.

If you are on the fence about getting the X TRILOGY from A24, I highly recommend getting it, having it on hand and watching X on 4K UltraHD, is a gorgeous set!

Another pic to compare to the rest of my A24 collection.

After my rewatch of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, here my definitive ranking of DAVID CRONENBERG filmography (From top to bottom).

Note: ‘Fast Company’ not in the picture, for me is dead last, not a bad movie, but I have no desire to watch it again, reason why I don’t own it.

THE APOCALYPSE TRILOGY in 4K UltraHD

No director does it like John Carpenter.
October 25, 2025 at 3:05 PM
IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994), I miss John Carpenter the director, his ability to create an entertaining narrative in uncomfortable nightmare scenarios is being copied but never matched.

The 4K restoration looks impressive and the next extras celebrate the legacy of the movie.

JACOB’S LADDER (1990), the more I watch it, the more profound it feels, its meaning sinks down into my soul.

The 4K UltraHD is stunning, you can see and hear the upgrade in quality (from the bluray), the new documentary is informative and entertaining.

Bravo, Lionsgate limited!
