Spare Parts has an interesting premise but never quite works with skin-level character development and a thin plot and even thinner antagonists.

It Happened Tomorrow debuts on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber the Cohen Film Collection program featuring a new 1080p transfer and only a trailer.
Godzilla vs. Kong is a fun-filled entertaining action-monster schlock of a film. The effects work is well done and the story is good enough with the human elements thankfully taking a backseat to the two monsters.
The Tender Trap debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, David Wayne and Celeste Holm and is out May 25th.
The Snoopy Collection is a good selection of four films featuring the feisty beagle and best friend, Woodstock, and any fan would love to have this, especially with two making their feature film debuts.
Flashback is a movie that might be too trippy for its own good. There are some interesting ideas and the acting from Dylan O’Brien and Maika Monroe were both pretty good, but it can be difficult to follow.
Shoplifters of the World is a music-comedy-drama starring Helena Howard, Ellar Coltraine, Nick Krause and Joe Manganiello and features the music of The Smiths, a band I’m familiar with but never grew up listening to.
Each Dawn I Die debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars James Cagney and George Raft and was released April 20th.
Tom & Jerry: The Movie is the big screen debut for the duo. The human cast includes Chloe Grace Moretz, Michael Pena, Colin Jost, Rob Delaney and Ken Jeong.
Body Slam is a comedy starring Dirk Benedict, Tanya Roberts, Roddy Piper, Captain Lou Albano and Barry Gordon. This oddball film from 1986 is being released on Blu-ray by Kino Lorber on June 15th.
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.
12 Monkeys is a unique time-traveling sci-fi drama that features some great performances from Bruce Willis (showing what he can do when he cares), Madeline Stowe and Brad Pitt in one his more unique roles.
Cartouche is a fun French swashbuckling action adventure with the only fault being a frustrating main character who was difficult to really root for.
Son stars Andi Matichak and Emile Hirsch in what is a bit of a combination of Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen. RLJ Films released this on Blu-ray on May 18th.
Big Fish is perhaps one of my favorite films from Tim Burton, one with a wonderful emotional core and features great performances from Albert Finney and Ewan McGregor.
