4K REVIEW: ALLIGATOR & ALLIGATOR II: THE MUTATION (4K UHD & BLU-RAY)

On The Comic Crush: 101 Films presents the cult classic creature feature Alligator (1980) on 4K UHD, along with the TV cut and 1991 sequel Alligator II: The Mutation (1991) on Blu-ray, title 033 on the 101 Films Black Label. Packed with interviews with cast and crew, this limited-edition release is packaged in a rigid box with brand-new artwork and includes a limited-edition booklet with new writing on the films. A B-movie masterpiece, Alligator remains a standout picture from the post-70s creature feature boom, with surprising depth and an overtly critical take on the inaction on environmental issues of the time that is still relevant today. Its lesser-known sequel Alligator II: The Mutation, follows a similar path to its predecessor with a more comedic and knowing undertone in true B-movie fashion.

BLU-RAY REVIEW: MEMENTO (LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY)

On The Comic Crush, we review 101 Films’ reissue of Christopher Nolan’s Memento: 101 Films presents Christopher Nolan’s Memento. Released in 2000 after a lengthy quest for distribution, Christopher Nolan's landmark mind-bending thriller was released to universal acclaim receiving multiple Academy Award® nominations, and has since gone on to become a cult classic. Following up his debut effort Following (1998) Nolan once again uses a meticulously crafted structure to place the audience inside the protagonist’s mind. This time, like Leonard we can never truly tell friend from foe, as everyone around him seeks to manipulate his condition to their own ends, while he himself seeks the truth. The brilliance of Memento lies in its ability to show you something new and thrill with each viewing. Leonard (Guy Pearce) suffers from a rare brain disorder - the inability to form any new memories. He can remember in detail everything that happened before his injury, but anyone he has met or anything he has done since that fateful night simply vanishes. Who are his friends? Who are his enemies? What is the truth? In Leonard's world, the answers to these questions shift and change from second to second. And the more he tries to figure out what is true and real, the deeper he sinks into a multi-layered abyss of uncertainty and surprises.
