Crank is a fun and rather entertaining flick even with the frenetic (though I know it’s in keeping with the adrenaline theme) direction, though works mostly for Jason Statham who does well even with some limited character development.

Cold Pursuit 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Cold Pursuit is kind of standard action-thriller fair for Liam Neeson and while the script and supporting characters aren’t the strongest, it is an enjoyable enough film.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is a perfectly fine film for the entire family but it certainly lacked not only the freshness of the first film but also the focus.

Alien: 40th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD Review
Alien is of course a sci-fi/horror classic and obviously a cash cow for the studio with numerous re-releases on various formats and now it has come to 4K UHD and it does look excellent and ported over an already great lossless track.

Justice League vs. The Fatal Five 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Justice League vs. The Fatal Five isn’t one of the better within DC’s animated movie line, however, it’s still a well told story and the animation looks really good being a continuation of the Justice League animated series line.

Glass 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Glass isn’t great and doesn’t exactly live up to the potential set forth by the twist ending of Split. That being said, there is some entertainment value and all in all was at the very least a satisfying film featuring a couple good performances, particularly McAvoy and Jackson.
Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms/Blood & Iron 4K Ultra HD Review
With the Hellboy reboot coming out, Lionsgate tries one more time to capitalize on a franchise that didn’t do so well and also serving as an advert. In any case, I did enjoy both of these animated movies and really wish they had continued.

Bumblebee 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Bumblebee was a pleasant surprise with a genuine heart at its core, the relationship between a robot and a girl, each one finding the other at the right time. It’s what was missing from the last several of the Transformers movies.
Man on a Ledge 4K Ultra HD Review
Admittedly, the plot for Man on a Ledge is on the preposterous side with sizeable plot holes but given what it is and the cast gathered, I was still rather entertained.
Mary Poppins Returns 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Mary Poppins Returns by all accounts did service as a sequel in both style and tone but for myself, nothing really stands out other than some respectable set design and a few of the performances, otherwise the music itself was bland and it did feel a tad long.

The Mule 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
The Mule isn’t some profound film and even as a character drama, not terrible exceptional, but seeing Clint Eastwood back in front of the camera and delivering a great performance is well worth the cost of admission.
Dynasties 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Dynasties is an incredibly well made documentary mini-series featuring engaging storylines with the animals and with only 5 episodes, this is worth binge-watching over the course of a day.
Aquaman 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Aquaman is an outrageously fun superhero movie that might not break new ground in terms of story, it does introduce audiences to a relatively unexplored world. Jason Momoa was the perfect casting of a character that was once a joke.
Lord of War 4K Ultra HD Review
When I last saw Lord of War 13.5 years ago, I wasn’t completely enamored beyond the acting and… my opinion roughly remains the same, some solid performances though I guess I was more engrossed with the story this go around.
Mortal Engines 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Mortal Engines is to say the least imperfect and I suppose even disappointing considering Peter Jackson was involved as a producer and co-screenwriter, and indeed it’s not very well written and yet I did find myself relatively entertained.
