The Shawshank Redemption is a movie I really should re-watch every other year if not every year as it’s an extraordinary and perfect film from the script to direction to the phenomenal performances from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.

Mare of Easttown arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The mystery-suspense-drama stars Kate Winslet (who also executive produced), Julianne Nicholason, Jean Smart, Guy Pearce and Evan Peters.
F9: The Fast Saga might have some insane scenes but not quite in the good way. There are some okay little moments like seeing some old character reunite, however this is missing the magic with the series’ height: the chemistry with Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker.

Rad is a fun, and just a touch dated, sports teen drama that is fairly entertaining for what it is. For the most art the acting isn’t actually too bad and there is a fun time to be had watching amongst friends.

Two Evil Eyes puts together two of the most prominent horror directors, George Romero and Dario Argento and while the movie is far from perfect, these were at least entertaining.
For Richer or Poorer is a mid/late 1990s adventure-comedy starring Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley and has its moments though some of the humor doesn’t always land. This comes to Blu-ray courtesy of Mill Creek Entertainment.
Black Widow is a movie that was released a few years too late for sure, however the execution of what we did get was lackluster with a few plot points that didn’t make very much sense, however I did like Scarlett Johansson even if she feels like a side character at times.
Till Death is a simple but still highly entertaining little survival-thriller featuring a good performance from Megan Fox showing she has what it takes, with the right script, to be a lead.
Nashville is a lengthy but ultimately decent ensemble musical-drama-comedy from Robert Altman and features David Arkin, Barbara Baxley, Ned Beatty, Karen Black, Keith Carradine, Shelley Duvall, Jeff Goldblum amongst many, many others.

NCIS: New Orleans for me personally was one of the lesser within the NCIS-verse. It has some charm here and there and I generally like Scott Bakula in the lead but other than the locale, there’s not much setting this one apart.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the date and released artwork for the Middle Earth: Ultimate Collector’s Edition on 4K Ultra HD which includes both the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies.
The Gateway is only worth checking out if only for some solid performances, however the story is relatively thin and clocking in around 87 minutes doesn’t allow these characters to be developed.
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced the date and released artwork for the apocalyptic-dystopian-thriller of Steel Dawn starring Patrick Swayze.
