Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a delightful and light-hearted family-musical-comedy featuring a wonderful performance from Gene Wilder.

Dead & Buried is a fun little horror-mystery with a plot that would’ve fit in with an episode of Tales from the Crypt. The gore effects from Stan Winston were well done for its time and Jack Albertson was the standout amongst the cast.

Super 8 is yet another well made film by J.J. Abrams, a solid follow-up to the sci-fi reboot/re-imagining of Star Trek. The movie is certainly a nostalgic trip back to the 80s but Abrams puts his own stamp on it, albeit still with plenty of Spielberg’s influence.

Godzilla vs. Kong is a fun-filled entertaining action-monster schlock of a film. The effects work is well done and the story is good enough with the human elements thankfully taking a backseat to the two monsters.

This 2-Movie Collection of Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life are the same two discs from the individual 4K releases, sans the Blu-rays which contained most of the bonus features.

My Fair Lady is a musical classic that I wasn’t totally enamored with but can appreciate Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison along with the costumes and music choreography.

Big Fish is perhaps one of my favorite films from Tim Burton, one with a wonderful emotional core and features great performances from Albert Finney and Ewan McGregor.

Django may not be a favorite of spaghetti western in my book but it’s still well done with a good performance from lead actor Franco Nero and features some good fight and action sequences.

Chaos Walking has a more interesting back story than the story itself. The concept is interesting but the plot muddles along and outside of a couple decent scenes and performances from Holland and Ridley, doesn’t have very much memorable going for it.

The Final Countdown is a thinly plotted but ultimately entertaining sci-fi mystery drama featuring the legendary Kirk Douglas in the lead. While it’s more or less an expanded episode of the old Twilight Zone series, it’s still a fun time.

Shrek still holds up 20 years later, both in story, humor and even animation, albeit rougher when you compare it to the higher-end CGI animation today.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a great western-thriller thanks to a wonderful core cast with Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach and even for those not inclined to enjoy westerns, like myself.

The Day of the Beast is an oft warped horror/black comedy that, even with the dated effects, is still plenty of fun thanks to the performances and oddball storyline.

Spaceballs is a classic comedy from Mel Brooks, one that I’ve seen a few times over the years and while it’s not a favorite of mine, still makes for and fun and enjoyable 96-minute watch.
