Back to the Future 40th Anniversary
(1985) Academy Award–winning sci-fi adventure from director Robert Zemeckis and executive producer Steven Spielberg that became a global phenomenon. Released on July 3, 1985, “Back to the Future” introduced audiences to Marty McFly (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Michael J. Fox), a small-town California teenager who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean invented by his eccentric friend, Doc Brown (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd). Stranded in the past, Marty must ensure his teenage parents (Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover) fall in love or risk erasing his own existence. With time running out, he teams up with a younger Doc in a last-ditch effort to harness a bolt of lightning and return to 1985. The film became the highest-grossing domestic release of 1985 and one of the most enduring movies of the decade, earning more than $385 million worldwide. It received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Original Song for Huey Lewis and the News’ “The Power of Love.” The film won for Best Sound Effects Editing. The new lineup of 40th anniversary offerings — “Back to the Future,” “Back to the Future II,” and “Back to the Future III” — features a comprehensive look at the legacy of the franchise, with hours of new and archival bonus features.
Daiei Gothic Vol 2: Japanese Ghost Stories
(1960 — Japan) Japan’s classic ghost stories are brought to the screen by masters of the genre, Tokuzo Tanaka (“The Snow Woman”) and Kimiyoshi Yasuda (“Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare”). In “The Demon of Mount Oe,” a group of mighty warriors is sent to eliminate a demon who steals women from the imperial capital of Kyoto. On the way, they face a satanic bull, a giant spider and a diabolical witch, but the closer they come to their goal, the more they realize that the demon they’ve been ordered to kill is far more human than they were led to believe. In “The Haunted Castle,” a blind monk is killed in a cowardly manner by a samurai lord. When the monk’s sister is ordered to become the lord’s concubine, she commits suicide and transfers her grudge to their black cat, who assumes the human form of one of the lord’s ladies-in-waiting and begins to wreak havoc around the castle court. The lord’s Machiavellian right-hand man (Rokko Toura) and a young swordsman (Kojiro Hongo) combine forces to solve the mystery and stop the supernatural menace. In “The Ghost of Kasane Swamp,” a samurai’s wife tries to repay her husband’s debt with her body but is caught in bed with the money lender and they are both murdered by her husband who dumps their bodies in a nearby swamp. Shingoro and Oshiga, the money lender and samurai’s children, find a curse has been passed to them as they each try to recover the money. New 4K restorations of each film by Radiance Films. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Newly designed box and booklet artwork by Time Tomorrow; limited edition 80-page perfect bound book featuring new writing by Amber T, Jasper Sharp, and Tom Mes, plus archival writing by Daniel O’Neill and original ghost stories “The Goblin of Oeyama” and “The Vampire Cat”; interviews; visual essays; trailer; more.

Based on Alexandra Fuller’s memoir of the same name, the film captures the childhood of eight-year-old Bobo on her family farm in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) at the end of the Zimbabwean War of Independence in 1980. Conflicted by her love for people on opposing sides, she tries to make sense of her life in a magical way. Through her eight-year-old gaze, we witness Rhodesia’s final days, the family’s unbreakable bond with Africa, and the deep scars that war leaves on survivors. Formats: DVD, VOD, Digital. (Sony).
Eyes Without a Face
(1960) At his secluded château in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance — at a horrifying price. “Eyes Without a Face,” directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here — of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty — that once seen are never forgotten. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, with new 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack. One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features. Extras: Read more here. (The Criterion Collection).
