Colette is a well made period drama that excels thanks to some beautiful looking direction by Wash Westmoreland and Keira Knightley’s magnanimous performance, however it was missing emotion at its core.
Peppermint is by no means perfect but it was the perfect action vehicle for Jennifer Garner who gets back to her kick ass routes dating back to the Alias TV series. Here the fights are brutal and hard-hitting and the performances are good enough to make an entertaining action yarn.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation is a film I genuinely do not know if I hated because it was bad or loved because it was batsh*t insane, though I’m currently leaning toward the former.
A Beautiful Planet is a nice enough documentary but also rather broad in terms of any actual information. But most of it is offset with some beautiful imagery courtesy of NASA.
Horror of Dracula is another solid entry of the numerous Dracula films that came out dating back to the 1930s through today, and Christopher Lee yet again plays the Count with some great intensity.
The Jerk: 40th Anniversary Edition is a fine release from Shout Factory. The movie itself is hilarious and showed why Steven Martin became a big star and for the most part, the jokes did landed.
Daphne & Velma was an unexpected treat even if it’s not exactly a necessity to really exist but I did have a fun time watching and at least actresses Jeffery and Gilman encompassed the characters nicely and it did feel like a Scooby-Doo film.
This is a rundown of Mill Creek’s Retro VHS Releases coming out in January 2019: Happy Birthday to Me, Hardbodies, Krull, Last Action Hero, Silent Rage and Who’s Harry Crumb?
Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure is considered one of the better adaptation of the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs’ creation and indeed, it is a solid action-adventure flick with a wonderful performance by Gordon Scott and Anthony Quayle as the villain.
Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 is one hell of a good bad movie thanks primarily to Eric Freeman’s hammy yet still amazing, may I say eye-brow raising, performance with one memorable line that has stood the test of time.

Operation Finale was such wasted potential that although at its core the operation itself was interesting, the changes made were baffling and needless. Having that said, the performances from both Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley were especially strong.
Gosford Park is a strong and finely acted ensemble drama from the king of the ensemble, Robert Altman and even though I don’t consider this his best film, it’s still well done.
The Happytime Murders, while not entirely funny with the puppet gimmick growing old, was a tolerable enough film especially one starring Melissa McCarthy; it’s probably worth a rental for fans of McCarthy and/or seeing violent/crude puppets.
