The Photograph, a drama from the director of The Weekend, features two charming leads in LaKeith Stanfield and Issa Rae, albeit the story itself is on the slow side. The Blu-ray/DVD is available on May 12th.

War of the Worlds 4K Ultra HD Review
War of the Worlds certainly is not top shelf Steven Spielberg and generally I didn’t like it quite as much as I did 15 years ago, however I will say the visual effects mostly held up and I can’t say I was ever bored.
Flashdance: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Flashdance is at times cheesy — as many of these 1980s dramas tended to be — but it’s entertaining, features a great soundtrack and incredible performance from a phenomenal performance from Jennifer Beals.

Richard Jewell Blu-ray Review
Richard Jewell, based on the true story about the 1996 Olympic bombing, is director Clint Eastwood’s latest and stars Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm and Olivia Wilde.
Trapped Blu-ray Review
Trapped is an adequate enough thriller but nothing terribly notable outside of a nice cast headlined by Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon. This is the third time, at least those in my collection, released by Mill Creek.
Gunsmoke: The Complete Series DVD Review
Gunsmoke isn’t usually my cup of tea but I did find the series to be rather compelling and features a nice ensemble cast led way by James Arness and the show does harkens back to a simpler time, although for its time, probably was more real compared with other programming in the 1950s and 60s.
Tin Cup: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
Tin Cup is a fun and charming romantic comedy with two charismatic performances from Costner and Russo, although it is a bit long running over two hours.

King Creole: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
King Creole is a fun musical crime-drama with Elvis Presley obviously in his and the chemistry with Carolyn Jones was absolutely wonderful.

Fatal Attraction: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Fatal Attraction is one of those quintessential movies of the 80s but even 30+ years later, it still holds up quite well. Although by today’s standards it’s probably par for the course, the sex scenes are still steamy.

30 Rock: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
30 Rock is a hilarious show, probably the funniest one I’ve come across since Seinfeld and Frasier. The ensemble was pitch-perfectly cast headlined by Tina Fey and even Alec Baldwin, along with Jack McBrayer, Jane Krakowski and Tracy Morgan.

To Catch a Thief: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
To Catch a Thief is a middle-of-the-road mystery-thriller from Alfred Hitchcock, which does say something about the filmmaker, that works because of the chemistry between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.

Criminal Minds: The Final Season DVD Review
Criminal Minds: The Final Season was certainly letdown and while this was limited to only 10 episodes, the writers didn’t give the cast a whole lot to do and the stories were not all that interesting.
