The Age of Aquarius dawned. Harry Boyle forgot to set his alarm.

Women’s Lib, civil rights, hippies, sexuality, communes and the Cold War are some of the hot button petals in this series’ flower-powered laugh-fest. They’re all part of Harry’s world, where a man’s home is his hassle. This complete series set of two seasons and 48 episodes, is highlighted by guest voice appearances from Monty Hall, Don Knotts, Phyllis Diller and Rich Little.

Disc Rating: 7.5/10

Synopsis:

With the rise of TV threatening moviegoing, wider screens became Hollywood’s way to combat that competition. M-G-M went all in and placed their bets on the new CinemaScope process. In addition to their feature films, the studio emboldened their cartoon unit run by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera – and their Oscar® winning series of Tom and Jerry™ shorts. The new visual approach to the famous team’s animated adventures was artistically refreshing – and won sweeping popular success with audiences. This set includes all 23 of these wide-screen wonders – collected together for the first time on Blu-ray™ as originally seen in theatres. Also included are Hanna & Barbera’s two stand-alone Spike & Tyke cartoons – and their Oscar®-nominated Good Will To Men. Animated, Anamorphic, and Amazing! The ultimate chase – continues!

Director: John Ford

Cast: John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles

Release Date: December 20, 2024

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 9/10

Synopsis:

Working together for the 12th time, John Wayne and director John Ford forged The Searchers into a landmark Western offering an indelible image of the frontier and the men and women who challenged it. Wayne plays an ex-Confederate soldier seeking his niece, captured by Comanches who massacred his family. He won’t surrender to hunger, thirst, the elements or loneliness. And in his five-year search, he encounters something unexpected: his own humanity. Beautifully photographed by Winston C. Hoch, thrillingly scored by Max Steiner, and memorably acted by a superb ensemble including Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Natalie Wood and Ward Bond, The Searchers endures as “a great film of enormous scope and breathtaking physical beauty” (Danny Peary, Guide for the Film Fanatic). Named the “greatest American Western” by the American Film Institute in 2008, The Searchers was among the first 25 films deemed “culturally or aesthetically significant” by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1989, when it was inducted into its National Film Registry. Now meticulously restored from its original negative, this new presentation of The Searchers presents this masterpiece with unparalleled image quality, accompanied by an impressive array of special features.

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 6.5/10

Synopsis:

Nearly 30 years after the landmark animated series was brought to prime-time television by Hanna-Barbera, the continued popularity of Jonny Quest led the studio to create two new feature-length adventures built around Quest presented together on this one Blu-ray™ disc. In Jonny’s Golden Quest, long-time Quest fans get to meet the women behind the adventurous men. Joining scientist Benton Quest, his plucky son Jonny, bodyguard Race Bannon and Jonny’s young friend Hadji are Benton’s biologist wife Rachel, Race’s ex-wife Jade and young 12-year-old Jessie. In Jonny Quest vs.The Cyber Insects, the evil Dr. Zin has genetically modified household pests into disturbingly large insects that he calls assassinoids, fearless and devoted warriors that will conduct his plan for world domination. Team Quest, headed by internationally respected scientist Benton Quest, is Earth’s only hope. When the good doctor becomes Zin’s captive, the stakes – and the action quotient – grow higher. Enter Jonny Quest, Dr. Quest’s bright, excitable, imaginative and heroic young son, ex-special agent Race Bannon, Jonny’s child genius friends Hadji and Jessie (Race’s daughter), their robotic pal 4-DAC and bulldog Bandit to complete the job of vermin extermination before it’s too late.

[Blu-Ray Review] Top Cat: The Complete Series: Now Available From Warner Archive 10Top Cat: The Complete Series [Blu-Ray] amazon-cart-logo

Cast: Arnold Stang, Allen Jenkins, Maurice Gosfield (VOICES)

Release Date: September 17, 2024

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

In the tradition of great screen con men – one of the few with a visible tail – Top Cat holds a top spot in the hearts of classic animation fans. The second of Hanna-Barbera’s prime-time network animated sitcoms, TOP CAT debuted on ABC television on Wednesday, September 27, 1961. The series only ran for one season at night, but continued to be popular through a mix of continued Saturday morning network reruns and syndication for more than two decades thereafter. Arnold Stang provided the voice of the smooth-talking New York City cat, known as T.C. to his gang of cohorts Benny the Ball, Choo-Choo, Spook, The Brain and Fancy Fancy. These cats were always on the make toward a big score or swindle. And the bothersome – and ever exasperated – Officer Dibble, (voiced by legendary character actor Allen Jenkins) is relentlessly on Top Cat’s case (although always one step behind). This 4-disc Blu-ray set contains all 30 original episodes, newly remastered in 1080p HD from 4K scans off the original camera negatives, with the series offering top-shelf entertainment for fans. More than 60 years after it debuted, Top Cat continues to be a comic delight of animated fun for audiences of all ages.
