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.
The Ballad of Little Jo is a western-drama starring Suzy Amis, Bo Hopkins and Ian McKellan and arrives on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber with a new HD master and includes a commentary, interview and the trailer.
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.
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.
Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.
White Lightning might not hold a candle to other Burt Reynolds gems like Smokey and the Bandit, and perhaps there is a reason this, and its sequel, Gator, aren’t fondly remembered, however outside fo a couple okay car chase sequences, there’s not a whole lot that’s memorable.
Neon City is a sci-fi apocalyptic thriller from 1991 and stars Michael Ironside and Vanity. The Blu-ray released by Kino Lorber includes an Audio Commentary and an interview with Ironside.
The Dark Power maybe had the potential to be a fun zombie-horror-comedy but like Alien Outlaw, it meanders through most of its already short 80-minute running time and by the finale I kind of tuned out.
Alien Outlaw is a B-movie of the sci-fi western variety and while certainly not good and drags for the first half, I will say at least Kari Anderson plus Lash McRue were a lot fun and I can’t say I hated the experience.
School of Rock was never one of my favorites to come out – and the story itself might be on the clichéd and predictable side – in 2003 but for music enthusiasts, and fans of Jack Black and Richard Linklater, it might hit the right note.
