Ocean’s Trilogy 4K Ultra HD Review
The Ocean’s Trilogy finally makes its debut on 4K Ultra HD and both the video and audio transfers are solid upgrades over the old 2007 Blu-ray release and although a new retrospective featurette would’ve been nice.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom 4K Ultra HD Review
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom isn’t a terribly special sequel and the plot is rather weak, yet I still had a fun and entertaining thanks in large part to the dynamic between Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson.

Carrie: Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Carrie had the potential to be good with two fine leads in Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore but instead it proves to be yet another remake that wasn’t needed.

The 355 4K Ultra HD Review
The 355 is a movie that feels awfully familiar from beginning to end and although I can respect some of the action scenes and stunt work, there’s really not very much here that was entertaining with a thin plot and characters.
Contagion 4K Ultra HD Review
Contagion has some things going for it, but mainly from an acting and technical level rather than the story. The cast is mostly good despite having a limited amount of screen time and Soderbergh’s visual style, while nothing new from what he’s done in the past, still looks stunning.
Darkman: Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Darkman is a cheesy but really fun throwback to the B-movie horror days of Hollywood. Liam Neeson is wonderful and turns in a great performance considering the amount of make-up he had to work under.

The Man in the Iron Mask: Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
The Man in the Iron Mask is a well made adventure film featuring solid performances, namely Gabriel Byrne and Jeremy Irons and fairly impressive for being screenwriter Randall Wallace’s directorial debut, following up with his Academy Award winning screenplay for Braveheart.

The Exorcist: Believer 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Exorcist: Believer is the latest horror movie to try and re-invent itself and comes from the same minds behind the Halloween reboot-trilogy. The movie arrives on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray from Universal on December 19th.

Clue: Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Clue is one of those comedies that have stood the test of time. The actors are so funny and perfectly cast for their respective roles and despite being based on a board game, and as inane/forced as the plot is, it’s reasonably mysterious to go along with the comedy.

Love Actually: 20th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD Review
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: Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
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) 4K Ultra HD Review
Le Mépris (Contempt) is a drama from director Jean-Luc Godard and stars Brigitte Bardot Jack Palance, Michel Piccoli and Fritz Lang.
The Fugitive 4K Ultra HD Review
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 4K Ultra HD Review
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.
