(Dan Schneider of http://www.cosmoetica.com/ is a special guest reviewer for OWF who will be tackling much loved, criminally forgotten and sometimes the over-rated cornerstones of cinema’s past. His website, containing his excellent cinema essays and reviews is a must visit)

Director Sam Fuller's Shock Corridor is one of those wildly aberrant works of art than can be called great, on some levels, and utter schlock, on other levels. And both are correct assessments of this film that can only be termed a didactic melodrama. What results, though, is that one is left with a so-so film- not the piece of pulp garbage that many reviewers first assailed the black and white film (with dream sequence snippets in color) as, upon its release in 1963, nor the masterpiece that revisionists have proffered in later auteur-based assessments. It had been almost a quarter century since I last watched the film, but recently popped in The Criterion Collection DVD of the film, and rediscovered its 'charms.'

Primary among those charms are the physical charms of the film's leading lady, Constance Towers, as Cathy the stripper, girlfriend to the film's lead, Peter Breck (of The Crawling Hand infamy), as daring journalist Johnny ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that the format war is well and truly over, it's not a shock to report that the awesome guys at the Criterion Collection will begin to release Blu-Ray titles from October but what is significant are their first list of titles.

All of them are back catalogue which is a collective sigh of relief for those worried that the mega expensive collection will no longer be releasing new flicks on the standard DVD format. For now, it seems Criterion will play the waiting game and simply re-release old titles until the day comes when the standard DVD format is dying out.

Something that isn't happening right as latest figures show that the death of HD hasn't effected the selling rate of Blu-Ray DVD at all just yet. Not that much money going around these days.

Here are the first list of titles to be released in Blu-Ray beginning in October. I'm loving that they haven't gone for the obvious one's (Seven Samurai, Amacord, etc.) which are two of the biggest Criterion releases in history and neither have they gone just for the visually stunning titles such as Days of Heaven or a more recent title which a upgrade might be more noticeable ...]]></description>
