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.
Enter the Dragon is a great martial arts suspense-thriller starring the enigmatic Bruce Lee in his final film and while it’s nothing groundbreaking in terms of the plot, there is enough there to keep it entertaining from beginning to end.
