Willow(1988)

7.0/10

dir. Ron Howard

A-Tier

Disney A-Tier 4K steelbook with a December 10 street date. Warwick Davis still turns up at conventions and there's a real fanbase here, bigger than the cult-film label suggests.

Red Sonja(1985)

5.4/10

dir. Richard Fleischer

C-Tier

Arrow's 4K fixes the teal push that plagued the StudioCanal version. Color comparisons from collectors show a clear difference, though opinions split roughly 50/50 on whether Arrow's slightly darker grade is better or just different. C-Tier is fair for the film itself, but the Arrow disc is at least the right version to own.
