Friday the 13th is certainly a classic slasher-horror and even though it’s not the most well made movie for sure, even seeing it several times over the years, it still holds up really well.
The Hunt is a controversial movie that in the end wasn’t all that controversial and instead it’s an entertaining enough horror-thriller-comedy but ultimately not all that memorable.
The Deer Hunter makes its debut on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray through Shout Factory’s well done presentation including several new interviews and previously released commentary track. The film features great performances from Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken.
The Invisible Man is a surprisingly well done update to a classic horror icon and a step in the right direction for Universal’s planned monster reboots and Elisabeth Moss is perfect in the lead and almost solely carries a film.
Reflections in a Golden Eye debuts on Blu-ray with both a colorized version and a “gold”-hued one as originally director John Huston intended.
Creepshow: Season 1 is a fun anthology series and as someone who prefers the more episodic shows, this one I found pretty entertaining even if some segments weren’t always top-notch, though the season does boast a respectable cast.
Star Trek: Short Treks I suppose is a decent bridge between seasons and if you’re a big fan of Star Trek: Discovery and its characters, these might be entertaining short episodes.
Inside Daisy Clover debuted on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection and stars the lovely Natalie Wood, Christopher Plummer and Robert Redford.
Escape from L.A. seems to blend together 1980s and 1990s cheese with a mixture of success while others are just too much, though Kurt Russell is still great as Snake. I will say, this one at least does have some replay value.
D-Day: Normandy 1944 is a perfectly serviceable overview of the incredible event that changed the tide of the war for the allies. However, there are far better documentaries out there covering the subject more in-depth.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is a wonderful conclusion to the New 52 DCAU which had its ups and downs but produced some good features, a few of which rival the live action side.
Glengarry Glen Ross, after all these years still holds up so well, with sharp, pointed dialogue that only David Mamet can write without coming across as pretentious. Beyond that, top notch performances all around, especially Jack Lemmon.
Brahms: The Boy II is a sludge of a sequel to get through and while I didn’t care much for the first movie, this one somehow manages to be even worse, a dull film with very few, if any, redeeming qualities.
The Curse of the Werewolf is an odd film from Hammer productions as the main star, Oliver Reed, doesn’t even show up until about halfway through and the titular werewolf until the final 10-minutes. Still, when we do see the werewolf, the make-up effects were pretty impressive.
Birds of Prey, despite its madcap narration by Robbie’s Harley Quinn, is a rather forgettable film, though Quinn is still an interesting character, sadly overshadowing the others.
