Today, DVD Verdict posted reviews of FREAKY FRIDAY (1976), THE GRASS
HARP, JOHNNY RENO, LORETTA LYNN: SONGS OF INSPIRATION, MACROSS PLUS: THE COLLECTION, PIT FIGHTER, RUMIKO TAKAHASHI ANTHOLOGY VOLUME 3: A TOUCH OF MAGIC, SUDS, and THROUGH THE BACK DOOR: FREAKY FRIDAY (1976) (reviewed by Jesse Ataide, overall score 70/100): "There's nothing worse than a little shattered nostalgia." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/freakyfriday1976.php THE GRASS HARP (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 85/100): "The most amazing aspect of The Grass Harp is the cast. Piper Laurie gives a heartbreaking and tender quality to the mystical, girlish Dolly Talbo. It's interesting to see her here as Sissy Spacek's sister, especially when it's Spacek who is the dour, crotchety, abusively domineering one." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/grassharp.php JOHNNY RENO (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 70/100): "Johnny Reno was probably a feature best enjoyed as the second installment in a double bill at a drive-in, when audiences would be woozy enough after two hours in a car to not mind a little lackadaisical stroll through a Western. It's certainly not perfect, but I wouldn't say it lacks charm." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/johnnyreno.php LORETTA LYNN: SONGS OF INSPIRATION (reviewed by Paul Corupe, overall score 76/100): "Although not the best digital representation of Lynn's long and varied career, MPI's Loretta Lynn: Songs of Inspiration delivers exactly what it promises, and with a generally pleasing technical presentation, it should satisfy fans of the artist looking to add the coal miner's daughter to their DVD collection." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/lynninspiration.php MACROSS PLUS: THE COLLECTION (reviewed by Mitchell Hattaway, overall score 80/100): "Macross Plus is a better sequel than I ever could have hoped for. Everything I loved about the first series -- simply put, the balance between the epic and the personal aspects of the story -- can be found here." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/macrosspluscoll.php PIT FIGHTER (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 72/100): "Action movies like this one live and die pretty much on the quality of the hand-to-hand combat. Whereas a coherent plot is welcome, I never found it that necessary. Besides, if you're tuning into a movie called Pit Fighter to soak up a memorable story, chances are your native planet is Neptune." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/pitfighter.php RUMIKO TAKAHASHI ANTHOLOGY VOLUME 3: A TOUCH OF MAGIC (reviewed by Mike Pinsky, overall score 86/100): "This is the sort of tale Rumiko Takehashi excels at: the psychological struggle of characters to overcome their own emotional barricades, even while assaulted from the outside by crazy and fantastic circumstances." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/takahashivol3.php SUDS (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall score 93/100): "The production of this disc exceeds all reasonable expectations. Milestone is rapidly earning a reputation among film lovers that will put it on par with Criterion for a devotion to film restoration and the release of first-class DVD product." FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/suds.php THROUGH THE BACK DOOR (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall score 89/100): "Milestone receives high marks for keeping our film heritage alive with quality DVDs of historically significant motion pictures, supplemented by generous bonus features. For the movie lover new to the unique pleasures of watching silent films, Milestone's catalog could make it habit-forming."
