Mississippi Burning(1988)

7.7/10

dir. Alan Parker

S-Tier

S-Tier Capelight Pictures 4K. Alan Parker's civil rights thriller with Gene Hackman. Capelight's German mediabook release is the only 4K option, which means importing. The picture quality is reported as great. A Criterion release would make sense for this film, given how many directors people keep requesting for the collection.

Red Heat(1988)

6.2/10

A-Tier

The StudioCanal steelbook has great embossing and showed up in European sales for around 15 EUR. Region B locked on the Blu-ray side, which annoyed a few Region A collectors who wanted the full package. Purely a fun 80s action night pick.
