The Day of the Beast is an oft warped horror/black comedy that, even with the dated effects, is still plenty of fun thanks to the performances and oddball storyline.

From time to time there are movies that I get to watch that I normally probably wouldn’t have heard of or passed by, and Irma Vep came as a pleasant surprise with a wholly engaging character-centric story.
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.
The Bermuda Depths debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Leigh McCloskey, Carl Weathers and Connie Sellecca.
Damn Yankees comes to Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Tab Hunter, Gwen Verdon and Ray Walston.
The Great Caruso debuts on Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection program featuring a new 1080p transfer, a documentary and trailer.
Test Pattern is a drama-thriller from filmmaker Shatara Michelle Ford and starring Brittany S. Hall and Will Brill, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on April 20th from Kino Lorber.
Spaceballs is a classic comedy from Mel Brooks, one that I’ve seen a few times over the years and while it’s not a favorite of mine, still makes for and fun and enjoyable 96-minute watch.
Perdita Durango was an engaging and, in a twisted way, entertaining romantic-thriller featuring two fantastic performances by Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem, both of whom should’ve gotten some major award recognition.
Southland Tales no doubt was ambitious and back in the day, based purely off of Donnie Darko, I looked forward to it, but the blend of political satire/commentary and end-of-the-world science fiction never gelled.

Wonder Woman 1984 was a disappointment, especially when compared with the first film and while I had plenty of issues with some of the story elements, I can’t say it’s bad and probably worthy of a rental or outright purchase to add to ones superhero collection.
Psycho Goreman is a throwback to 1980s/1990s horror-fantasy akin to Power Rangers, just with gore and irreverent humor. Not my cup of tea but is fun enough for those with a nostalgia hankering.
Event Horizon is a movie I’ve seen a few times and my ratings ranged from 3.25-3.75 with this go-around on the lower end. There is some entertainment value but the film doesn’t exactly reach its full potential.
She’s the Man might not exactly be some teen comedy classic but had a few moments here and there and was a launching pad for Channing Tatum. The new Blu-ray comes from Paramount released on March 3rd.
