The Addams Family 2, starring the voice talents of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz and Nick Kroll arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from MGM this Tuesday, January 18th.
Breakheart Pass is an all-around fun and entertaining western-thriller with Charles Bronson once more great in the lead.
The Toolbox Murders is a mediocre slasher where the mystery element goes by the wayside halfway through (not that the identity isn’t hard to tell) but features a creepily fun performance by the great Cameron Mitchell.
Dune is a movie that has plenty of technical achievements by director Denis Villeneuve and his team but very little emotion at its core, even with a respectable cast.
The Allnighter isn’t exactly a quintessential movie from the 1980s, probably not even second tier either, and while it’s pretty safe but it’s light-hearted entertainment.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is slightly better than its predecessor yet still not great although Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and Venom was easily the highlight while we still get the CGI vs. CGI fight sequence during the finale which I find rather boring.
I Dream of Jeannie was well before my time and wasn’t one I watched if/when it was in syndication back in the day either, but even being a product of its time has some funny moments. This Complete Series Blu-ray however has much to be desired…
Krampus I’m sure has its fanbase and while the movie has its moments, along with some respectable effects, I wasn’t terribly enamored finding this to be only moderately entertaining with no real standouts.
Busting is a fairly average crime-drama from the 1970s that features a respectable performance by Elliott Gould and a decent enough chase sequence, but otherwise not a whole stands out especially compared with others from the era.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, a 4-episode series originally streamed on Netflix arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Sony Pictures on December 21st.
The Long Goodbye is a fun and engaging enough neo noir mystery that features a great performance from Harold Gould alongside solid direction by Robert Altman.
The Giallo Essentials collection has three movies Arrow Films previously released some years ago and I guess if on sale might be worth picking up. In regards to the three movies included, one I thought was pretty good (What Have They Done to Your Daughters?) while the other two had their moments but nothing especially noteworthy.
The Giallo Essentials collection has three movies Arrow Films previously released some years ago and I guess if on sale might be worth picking up. As for the movies, only one I’d consider a true giallo and none are particularly great but watchable.
Street Fighter is a bad movie. Not the worst, but pretty bad for sure. Outside of Raul Julia, in his final theatrical role, who was having fun as the over-the-top villain, everything else was a dud.
Creepshow: Season 2 arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from RLJE Films on December 7th. This horror-anthology series features guest stars including Keifer Sutherland, Joey King, Justin Long, Ali Larter and more.
