Love Actually is just an all around fun, charming and heartwarming romantic-comedy-drama that features an amazing ensemble cast and even though I’ve seen this numerous times, it still doesn’t fail to make me smile.
Silver Bullet is by no means a good movie or even all that entertaining, though the acting from Busey and Haim were good and the effects work was fairly impressive considering the time period. I suppose if you’re a super-fan of Stephen King’s works this might hit the right spot.
Le Mépris (Contempt) is a drama from director Jean-Luc Godard and stars Brigitte Bardot Jack Palance, Michel Piccoli and Fritz Lang.
The Fugitive remains one of the best action-thrillers I’ve seen in many years and easily a standout of TV to screen adaptations. Despite being 130-minutes long, the film flies by and utilizes each minute with little filler.
The Nun II isn’t unwatchable for sure and I do like Taissa Farmiga who possesses some of that lovely screen presence as her big sister, but the movie does not break any semblance of new ground in the possession-horror genre.
Meg 2: The Trench is a movie that could’ve been a whole lot of fun but I found it to be a sludge to sit through and at times, early on mainly, took itself too seriously before finding its campiness for the finale.
Natural Born Killers is a frenetic thriller-drama from writer-director Oliver Stone and while it’s not a movie I ever really liked, it does have great style and amazing performances from Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One might not be the strongest in the long-running franchise with a story that’s obviously only half told. Still, the action sequences were excellent as always and even though it is well over 2.5 hours, there’s never a dull moment and is entertaining from start to finish.
The Others is a well made gothic-drama-horror film featuring wonderful performances, most notably by Nicole Kidman. Under the direction of Alejandro Amenábar, it’s a great movie to watch any time of the year.
Promising Young Woman is a revenge drama-thriller starring the wonderful Carey Mulligan who gives a great performance, even if the movie didn’t always work for me.
Kiss the Girls is a fine suspense/thriller, based on the James Patterson novel, headlined by a respectable cast headlined by Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd.
Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later I thought was an entertaining movie and although it does have that late 90s slasher vibe revitalized thanks to Scream, it’s still a decent enough Halloween film, and one better than the more recent reboot trilogy.
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is one of the better feature films with the Dark Knight and just a well written and amazingly animated film all around with a great voice cast.
The Flash is an entertaining if not also flawed movie that is probably is one of the better offerings from DC in a while, though maybe that’s faint praise. I did like the humor and of course seeing Michael Keaton back again was the highlight.
The Ranown Westerns comes to 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection and features five films directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Randolph Scott.
