Around the Blogosphere This Week

Miscellaneous bits of news and fun stuff from around the Internet...

...Last week I shared the news that Kino Lorber Studio Classics announced a Dark Side of Cinema XX collection. Shortly after I posted that, Kino Lorber also announced Dark Side of Cinema XXI is coming soon! It will contain CLOAK AND DAGGER (1946) with Gary Cooper, SHACK OUT ON 101 (1955) with Frank Lovejoy, and SHORT CUT TO HELL (1957) with William Bishop, directed by James Cagney.

...Also coming soon from Kino Lorber: BODY AND SOUL (1947) starring John Garfield.

...Chris Yogerst has a new article at The Hollywood Reporter, on the founding of MGM, in honor of the studio's centennial.

...THE BOYS IN THE BOAT (2023), about the U.S. rowing team at the 1936 Olympics, will be out on Blu-ray and other formats on June 25th. I reviewed the film when I saw it theatrically earlier this year.

...Coming for fall cookbook season from Ina Garten, a memoir titled BE READY WHEN THE LUCK HAPPENS.

...Recent reviews I've enjoyed: At Riding the High Country Colin wrote on Audie Murphy and Barry Sullivan in SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN (1960)...Jacqueline wrote about the Hitchcockian non-Hitchcock film NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH (1940) at Another Old Movie Blog...and Kristina has continued to watch the films of director Fred F. Sears, as she chronicles in Part 3 and Part 4 at Speakeasy. I need to check out FURY AT GUNSIGHT PASS (1956)! Incidentally I'm quite fond of THE MIAMI STORY (1954), which she writes about in Part 3; like SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN, it stars Barry Sullivan.

...This is a relatively short roundup this week! Please note there will not be an Around the Blogosphere This Week column next weekend, when I'm attending the Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival. The column will return on May 18th.
