Love Affair is the 1939 romantic-drama that pre-dated An Affair to Remember which is better known by most. This version stars Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer and the Blu-ray receives a much needed new video and audio transfers.
Dangerous is just another run-of-the-mill direct-to-video film that had its moments and at least was moderately entertaining if only for Scott Eastwood and Mel Gibson in his brief screen time.
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.
American Underdog is a well made romantic-sports-drama that features some wonderful performances with Zachary Levi and Anna Paquin and tells a lovely story that will appeal to sports and non-sports fans alike.
The Final Option comes to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber and includes an audio commentary, featurette and theatrical trailer. The Blu-ray was released on February 15th.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a satisfying third film (can even call this a trilogy) and while the fan service was just a tad much, I still enjoyed the film and there was enough there where it stands on its own.
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins probably has a decent concept but the execution wasn’t the best and Fred Ward, as fine of a character he might be, doesn’t quite work in the lead. Still, there is some entertainment value.
La Dolce Vita is considered by many as a masterpiece and while I certainly “get” what Federico Fellini was going for, I just didn’t find it all that interesting or especially engaging, barely managing to sit through the nearly 3-hour running time.
Deadly Games was more deadly boring than anything else. The characters were generally annoying and the kills on the duller side. This is your typical ‘forgotten’ horror-slasher born out of the early 80s.
Edge of Darkness arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan and is out January 8.
Catwoman: Hunted might not be top shelf entertainment from the DC Animated line but still was passable with some good artwork and voice acting by Elizabeth Gillies in the lead.
The Three Musketeers comes to Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Lana Turner, Gene Kelly, Angela Lansbury and Vincent Price and is out February 15.
Gold Diggers of 1933 debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Warren William, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon and Ginger Rogers.
Dead Heat is an all-around fun 1980s dark comedy horror film featuring some impressive makeup effects along with entertaining performances from Williams and Piscopo.
Village of the Giants is sort of your typical fantasy-comedy from the 1960s and easy to see why it was mocked on Mystery Science Theater 3000, but without them, watching on its own is kind of a chore as for the most part it’s fairly dull.
