Anesthesia is a bit uneven in its storytelling with some elements not quite coming together as others, but the performances by Sam Waterston and Kristen Stewart, with honorable mention to Gretchen Mol, makes for a more than watchable drama particularly for those who enjoy ensemble pictures.
Search Party may not be awful of epic proportions but it does come across as bottom of the drawer from writer/director Scot Armstrong, recycling much of his material from Road Trip and The Hangover Part II. Problem is, there’s not many, or at least consistent, laughs and is utterly forgettable.
The Pack isn’t a particularly memorable flick, with a few genuinely frightening scenes, yet it does at least have its moments and the acting isn’t half bad. The Blu-ray released by Shout Factory is pretty standard with a throw away featurette and trailer while the audio and video transfers were above average.
Kung Fu Panda is perhaps one of the better franchises outside of the Pixar/Disney brand and certainly well above the likes of Madagascar and Ice Age. Still, as family friendly as this third entry is, to go along with a positive message, I wasn’t nearly as entertained though admittedly I found the first two to be merely above average fare anyway.
Based on a 1970s TV series, Electra Woman & Dyna Girl is an enjoyable little superhero spoofish film with passable performances with two leads in Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart share some fun chemistry with one another. The DVD release offers solid video, so-so audio and a decent enough selection of special features.
Slow and drawn out in spite of its short running time, 600 Miles isn’t great but at least can be admired for the performances by Tim Roth and Kristyan Ferrer so at least with them it’s worth watching.
