This powerful drama from 1933 has been recently rediscovered and restored, and it\u2019s making its home video debut from The Film Detective with that 4K restoration and a featurette about the film and Johann.<\/p>\n<p>Zita Johann stars as Nora and gives a searing performance as a young woman wronged by people and society. We follow her from childhood through her current predicament, and it\u2019s through her memories that we see the truths and lies that make up her life. Johann\u2019s Nora is no angel, but that\u2019s kind of the point. Director Phil Goldstone\u2019s film was ahead of its time in some ways as his use of flashbacks and fantasy, shadow and score, and the resulting film \u2014 a fast watch at only sixty-five minutes \u2014 captivates in unexpected ways. Some argue the film is one of the earliest noirs (despite falling nearly a decade before the sub-genre was officially born in 1941), and it\u2019s easy to see why with its <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s of futility and distrust, but there\u2019s a hopefulness in Nora that challenges the reality of her grim surroundings.

An early submarine movie \u2014 possibly the first? \u2014 is limited by <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, but director Stuart Paton takes great advantage of both effects and underwater photography to tell his tale. This new 4K restoration is an important one for silent cinema, although they all are arguably, and adventure fans should take note.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: New 4K restoration, commentary]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dead_Dicks\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dead Dicks\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dead-dicks.jpg\" width=\"195\"><\/img>Dead Dicks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A young man\u2019s suicidal desire has grotesquely weird consequences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Think a depressing <em>Primer<\/em> with a dash of <em>Multiplicity<\/em> and a handful of eye-level cocks, and then you\u2019ll be in the right head space for this oddball indie. It requires a tolerance for penises and a vagina \u2014 a big one \u2014 but is worth the effort thanks in large part to a commitment to the ideas at play. Like this year\u2019s <em>Butt Boy<\/em>, the film\u2019s abrasively sophomoric surface holds deeper, darker, more sincere secrets.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Commentary, video diaries, featurette]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Revenge_of_the_Living_Dead_Girls_Severin_Films\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Revenge Of The Living Dead Girls\" height=\"234\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/revenge-of-the-living-dead-girls.jpg\" width=\"195\"><\/img>Revenge of the Living Dead Girls [Severin Films]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A trio of recently deceased milk-drinkers return for naughty and nasty shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> This French shocker is something special. The gore is creative and vile, the nudity\/sex is frequent and explicit (and occasionally vile), and the story manages some interesting choices that hold the attention in unexpected ways. It\u2019s pure exploitation but with an interesting narrative at its core. The focus, though, is on all manner of fleshy antics that make this every bit an adult slice of horror. I\u2019m also here for the ending which packages both a reveal and an abrupt demise into a tight few minutes. It\u2019s crazy, but it\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Interviews]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_River_KL_Studio_Classics\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The River\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/the-river.jpg\" width=\"195\"><\/img>The River [KL Studio Classics]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A family struggles to keep their farm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Sissy Spacek and Mel Gibson headline this inspiring drama about Americans fighting against both nature and a system that\u2019s not designed to help the little people. Both actors are fantastic and earnest in their humanity, and Scott Glenn gives an equally strong turn as a not-so great guy. It\u2019s a film about family and community, about working hard to achieve your dreams, and about the cost of being a good person. It\u2019s no \u201cprestige drama,\u201d and is instead an earthy look at real people through a dramatic lens. It\u2019s good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Commentary]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Shakedown\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Shakedown\" height=\"237\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/the-shakedown.jpg\" width=\"195\"><\/img>The Shakedown<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A not-so good guy becomes a great man.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> The story here concerns a boxer, a thug and a loser, who finally finds himself after falling for a woman and an orphan child. The more recent comparison here is to films like <em>The Champ<\/em> (1979) or even <em>Real Steel<\/em> (2011), but this silent film predates them both by multiple decades. It\u2019s a tear-jerker of sorts, depending on your taste for silents, as director William Wyler squeezes plenty of emotion along the way. More impressively, though, are the boxing scenes which manage some thrills of their own. Kino\u2019s disc features a print restored by Universal Pictures and is worth the pick up for fans of film history.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: New 4K restoration, commentary, booklet]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thirteen_Ghosts_Scream_Factory\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Thirteen Ghosts\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/thirteen-ghosts.jpg\" width=\"195\"><\/img>Thirteen Ghosts [Scream Factory]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A family inherits a high tech house and its supernatural contents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Dark Castle Entertainment may have gone on to dwindle any and all good will with sub-par thrillers, but they knocked it out of the park early on with titles like this. It\u2019s a remake of a William Castle film, and it\u2019s a bold, loud, colorful blast of nightmarish visions, grim laughs, and adult shenanigans. The ghosts are legit creepy at times too despite being the antithesis of what traditionally counts as spooky, and it\u2019s just good fun all around. Scream Factory adds some new interviews into the extras making this a worthwhile pick-up for fans.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Interviews, commentary with director, featurettes]<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Rest\"><\/span>The Rest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gundala\"><\/span>Gundala<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A boy becomes a man becomes a superhero.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> This Indonesian action film is adapted from a popular comic book, and fans of Marvel and DC will see a lot of similarities. That\u2019s not a knock either, as all superhero stories share threads, and this film\u2019s studio intro showcasing dozens of local heroes is a reminder that every culture has its own heroes. All of that said, the film lacks those bigger films\u2019 budget meaning things are scaled down. There\u2019s fun to be had with some solid fight scenes, though.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Video logs, featurette]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hannibal_Brooks_KL_Studio_Classics\"><\/span>Hannibal Brooks [KL Studio Classics]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A group of POWs transport an elephant through enemy territory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Pairing Oliver Reed with Michael J. Pollard is just peak 60s weirdness, and adding an elephant into the mix is even stranger. It fits, though, as Michael Winner\u2019s film is equally odd in tone and execution. War action and romance collide with buddy comedy and animal shenanigans, and the entirety rides on the cast\u2019s charisma and character. That tonal shakiness is most evident in the final minutes when a major player dies, others escape, and we end with everyone laughing while on screen text declares that everyone lived happily ever after. It\u2019s something.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: New 2K master]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hawaii_Five-O_%E2%80%93_The_Final_Season\"><\/span>Hawaii Five-O \u2013 The Final Season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> The tenth and final season of the show that gave up on its two best characters after season seven.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> This reboot of the popular classic succeeded early on at blending solid action scenes with interesting characters. The two leads are, of course, the least interesting, but the show found charisma is Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim. It\u2019s been a lesser experience since they left at the end of season seven, but fans will enjoy the show\u2019s wrap up of its main ongoing story lines and threads.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Crossover episode with <em>Magnum P.I.<\/em>, featurette, interview, gag reel, deleted scenes]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"James_Camerons_Story_of_Science_Fiction\"><\/span>James Cameron\u2019s Story of Science Fiction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> James Cameron interviews people about <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> fiction films.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> It\u2019s been eleven years since James Cameron\u2019s last feature film \u2014 and arguably twenty-three since his last good one \u2014 so any new Cameron content is good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>. Here he sits across from various talents including directors, actors, scientists, theorists, writers, and more to discuss the never-ending allure of science fiction. It\u2019s at times interesting, but he also spends too much time with the actors. We get it, they\u2019re name draws, but their perspective is rarely as engaging or interesting as the actual creators and thinkers.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Extended interviews]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lorenzos_Oil_KL_Studio_Classics\"><\/span>Lorenzo\u2019s Oil [KL Studio Classics]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A family struggles to find a cure for what ails their son.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> George Miller remains best known for directing the classic franchise involving a talking pig, but he also dabbled in smaller dramas including this tear-jerker based on a true story. Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon headline as the desperate parents who risk everything \u2014 careers, their marriage, friendships \u2014 to save their son. It\u2019s well-acted and at times melodramatic, and is worth a watch for fans of acting and drama.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Commentary]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Million_Dollar_Mermaid_Warner_Archive\"><\/span>Million Dollar Mermaid [Warner Archive]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A swimmer trades in water for fame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Esther Williams is best-known for this big, bright spectacle of a film. It\u2019s based on a real talent who took choreographed aquatic shenanigans to new heights, and the film brings her story to vibrant life through big set-pieces and numbers. It\u2019s as far from the kind of films being made today as you can get, and Warner\u2019s new Blu makes it pop off your television screen.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Short film, cartoon, radio interview]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mondo_Balordo_Severin_Films\"><\/span>Mondo Balordo [Severin Films]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A mondo film about so-called \u201cweird\u201d behaviors around the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> The mondo films are not something I\u2019ve ever really understood, and they feel every bit from a time and place far removed from the here and now. Back then, though, they arguably introduced adventurous audiences to people and places they\u2019d otherwise never see or visit. This entry\u2019s highlight is narration from the great Boris Karloff, but the visuals on display rarely excite. Dancers, prostitutes, a little person overflowing with energy and talent, and more play out before our eyes as part of the \u201cdocumentary,\u201d but it all feels fairly rote.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Feature film <em>The Orientals<\/em> (1960)]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NCIS_%E2%80%93_The_Seventeenth_Season\"><\/span>NCIS \u2013 The Seventeenth Season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> The seventeenth season!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Other networks wish they had the secret to programming long-running series for your dad. This Mark Harmon-led action\/drama has spawned two spin-offs centered in Los Angeles and New Orleans, and the main show keeps chugging along. What\u2019s the secret? Consistency is what I\u2019d argue. It never goes too low, never aims too high, and delivers perfectly okay material week after week. Harmon has always been a reliable presence, and the show uses that well to center the action and character drama around.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Featurettes]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Other_Lamb\"><\/span>The Other Lamb<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A small cult crumbles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Cult films tend to fall into a couple categories \u2014 the frightening and the unsettling. This indie hews closer to the latter with its creepy male leader of an otherwise female cult, but it never quite succeeds in captivating or upsetting viewers. It\u2019s well-acted and beautifully shot, but the expected beats occur with little deviation.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: None]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Public_Eye_KL_Studio_Classics\"><\/span>The Public Eye [KL Studio Classics]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A tabloid photographer find crime, corruption, and romance through his lens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Joe Pesci used to act a lot more, and while many of his films are forgettable comedies, this effort leans more serious. It\u2019s 40s set and sees him fitting right in with the city\u2019s fast-talking muck-rakers and crooks. Director Howard Franklin (<em>Quick Change<\/em>, 1990) makes good use of Pesci and the period setting, and while the story isn\u2019t quite as good it\u2019s a solid time for Pesci fans.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Commentary with director]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Raggedy_Man_KL_Studio_Classics\"><\/span>Raggedy Man [KL Studio Classics]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A single mother struggles in a small nowhere town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> Sissy Spacek had roles like this on lock down through the early 80s \u2014 when she didn\u2019t lose them to Jessica Lange \u2014 but here she\u2019s allowed a bit more pep in her step. Her character is downtrodden but stands tall all the same, and she fights back against expectations and chauvinism too. Eric Roberts lands a rare good guy role, and Henry Thomas once again plays an incredibly sincere young boy. It\u2019s an engaging and at times suspenseful watch and far from the \u201cpoverty porn\u201d it might seem like at first.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Commentary]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_System_KL_Studio_Classics\"><\/span>The System [KL Studio Classics]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A group of young men pursue women and find both trouble and love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> The first of Oliver Reed\u2019s collaborations with director Michael Winner (another is above), this playful blend of comedy and drama feels very particular in the 60s UK as a time and a place. Reed is charismatic as hell, and his character\u2019s arc engages even as the others feel more basic in their beats. It\u2019s a pretty good film made better through his performance.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Commentary, featurette]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Wild_Wild_World_of_Jayne_Mansfield_Severin_Films\"><\/span>The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield [Severin Films]<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> A Hollywood starlet\u2019s death is turned into grind for the machine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why see it?<\/strong> One of the stranger exploitation\/mondo movies to come out of the 60s, this romp pairs the expected \u201ccraziness\u201d of people acting wild with footage of Jayne Mansfield both before her death and after. The latter involves real-life footage from her crash, which, when paired with a narrator pretending to be Mansfield becomes even more ghoulish. That said, the film itself, like most mondo flicks, never really gets all that nutty. It\u2019s more of an observation on the people and the times.<\/p>\n<p>[Extras: Interview, bonus feature <em>Wild Wonderful Italians<\/em> (1966)]<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p><strong>Also out this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Graveyard Shift [Scream Factory], The Outsider \u2013 The Complete First Season, The Tenant [Scream Factory], Wonder Woman \u2013 The Complete Collection<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to watch Movies or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/the-sin-of-nora-moran-home-video-july-28th-2020\/#utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=the-sin-of-nora-moran-home-video-july-28th-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#A Pre-Code Classic Comes to Home Video as Our Pick of the Week&#8221; Streaming might be the future, but physical media is still the present.
