The Final Word on Physical Media
The Protégé isn’t quite as good compared to Anna but I still was consistently entertained even with some of the flaws, which were overcome thanks to solid direction from Martin Campbell and a good core cast with Michael Keaton, Maggie Q and Samuel L. Jackson.

Survive the Game is another severely lackluster direct-to-video movie co-starring Bruce Willis who looks as uncommitted as ever. There’s really nothing redeeming for this and should absolutely be skipped.
Santa Fe Trail comes to Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection with a great video and audio transfer. The film stars Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland and… Ronald Reagan. The Blu-ray was released September 14th.
Legend is an odd film compared with others directed by Ridley Scott and while the characters are thin and underdeveloped, this is almost compensated with great production design and the make-up and prosthetics are all well done.

One Dark Night isn’t a great movie but as supernatural-horror goes, which I’m generally not a big fan of, it’s fairly entertaining and features some impressive make-up effects and a solid finale.

Space Jam: A New Legacy isn’t all that good but to be perfectly fair, neither was the 1995 original, though 14/15 year old me probably loved it (don’t have much memory, must’ve been a short-lived love).

Night of the Animated Dead is an ill-conceived feature that just takes the classic and turns it into animated form with an additional scene from what I can remember. The animation itself isn’t the best but not awful while the voice acting was alright. That said, this is one to skip.

Kindred arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Shout Factory on June 15th. This horror-thriller stars Tamara Lawrance, Jack Lowden and Fiona Shaw.
A Clockwork Orange might be a classic and I can see some of its attributes with the style and acting from Malcolm McDowell, but for myself I found it difficult to sit through, mainly for a lack of interest in what was going on.
