Double Indemnity is what is considered The Godfather of film noir. It’s a fantastic film through and through thanks to a tight and suspense-filled script from Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler and exceptional performances by MacMurray, Stanwyck and Robinson.

The Batman is a good film. Not great. I did like that Matt Reeves had a different and unique take on the character who has seen the big screen a handful of times dating back to 1989 and while there is room for improvement.
Two Men in Town comes to Blu-ray through Kino Lorber and Cohen Media Group, starring Forest Whitaker, Harvey Keitel, Luis Guzman and Ellen Burstyn.
The early 1980s produced many slashers in an attempt to take advantage of the successes of the Friday the 13th and Halloween franchises, and Girls Nite Out is one of them, however there’s nothing here I found all that entertaining.

Clean comes to Blu-ray through RLJ and stars Adrien Brody (who also co-wrote), Glenn Fleshler, Richie Merritt, Chandler Ari DuPont, Mykelti Williams and RZA.

Beverly Hills Cop II might a shell of the original but still holds some fun entertainment value with Eddie Murphy taking more control over not only the character but behind-the-scenes as well.
Candyman might not be some horror classic in my book, but it was incredible enjoyable with a few good twists with taking it down an unexpected path, at least compared to others in the supernatural-horror subgenre; but what was especially noteworthy were the performances from Madsen and Todd.

Death Wish II isn’t a great sequel by any means and like the first, hard to really “enjoy” the film or find it terribly entertaining given the assaults early on, though seeing the scumbags getting their justice had satisfying elements at least.
