The Dead Zone doesn’t quite enter into classic territory for me, but I did generally find it entertaining thanks to a charismatic enough performance from Christopher Walken who actually plays the lead fairly straight.
Roman Holiday marks its Blu-ray debut through the “Paramount Presents” line and the film looks as good as possible with more than adequate lossless audio along with most of the bonus material being ported over.
Z is a slow burn of a movie that can be a struggle to get through, although the very least liked Keegan Connor Tracy, just a shame she didn’t get a better script to work with.
Supergirl: The Complete Fifth Season still has similar struggles from its previous season with the writing and storytelling, and similar troubles to the later seasons of Arrow, but I still like Melissa Benoist in the role.
The Flash: The Complete Sixth Season is still the best of the CW DC shows thanks in large part to the performance by Grant Gustin and a nice ensemble cast, especially Candice Patton and Tom Cavanagh, and some decent storylines.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow is the beginnings of a new animated universe now that the previous New 52 inspired one concluded. The animation style is my biggest question mark but I did enjoy the introductions for both Lobo and Martian Manhunter.
Bad Education tells an interesting story in one of the more uninteresting ways, as it’s not terribly engaging. That being said, Hugh Jackman gives yet another amazing performance.
At times Ghost can be a bit on the cheesy side but the performances of Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg sell it just enough to make it an effective supernatural romantic drama.
The Naked City is a well done crime-drama that certainly was done in an interesting style with a documentary-like narration and filming on location in New York City.
Marriage Story is a bittersweet drama featuring two incredible, award-worthy, performances (not to take away from Laura Dern who was great in her own right) by both Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver.
The comedy-drama, Dear Diary (Caro Diario) comes to Blu-ray through Film Movement and is available to purchase on September 8.
I Am Vengeance: Retaliation had the hallmarks to be a fun and light action-thriller and instead is a monotonous and tedious mess not helped by a lead who, at least with this material, doesn’t quite have the charisma compared to his wrestling actor cohorts.
The Trip to Greece may not offer anything the previous three movies didn’t already cover, but I still found this to be an enjoyable, even relaxing, road trip movie that provided some laughs thanks to both Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
Deep Blue Sea 3 still isn’t nearly as entertaining as the original but is a step up from its predecessor and at least does have a few scenes that were rather fun.
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie has two decent stories, one was dull and the other, the wrap-around, so-so. Still, it’s an anthology film worth checking out.
