If you’re looking for something a little offbeat this Halloween season, chances are you’ve never seen ARNOLD (95 mins., 1973, PG), which is out this month from Vinegar Syndrome on Blu-Ray. Making its high-def debut (its last home video appearance came via a “Lightning Video” VHS release in the ‘80s), “Arnold” is a weird time capsule – a black comedy a la “The Old Dark House” with Stella Stevens essaying the mistress of a wealthy, recently deceased old man who stands to inherit his estate…so long, after marrying “Lord Dwellyn” at his funeral, she lives in the mansion alongside his corpse. One that seems to be very much alive at that! |

For barely over a year, Oscar-winning British producer David Puttnam became the head studio chief at Columbia Pictures, promising to open the door to creative voices and bring his own sense of filmmaking individuality to Hollywood. The net result was a disaster across every spectrum, resulting in one of the more dizzying arrays of box-office flops imaginable. Among them was THE BEAST (110 mins., 1988, R; Kino Lorber), a drama about a Russian tank playing a game of survival in Afghanistan with Mujahideen fighters after they bombard a local village, killing many of its inhabitants. |
