Before the equally appetising title, Hamburger Hill, there was Pork Chop Hill; a major studio feature that strayed from the tradition of glorifying America’s heroism in World War II in favour of a brief chapter on the Korean War. Imprint Films brought this lesser-known classic to Blu-ray this past December, which details the literal uphill …

Jack Lemmon stars in what was a passion project …
I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little bit hyped for Deathsport, which was mentioned frequently during the making of Rock ‘n’ Roll High School by director Allan Arkush.
