Romance on the High Seas is a fun, entertaining and sometimes charming romantic-comedy-musical with a star-making performance from Doris Day in her feature film debut.
Selena is a well made biopic featuring two incredible performances from Jennifer Lopez and Edward James Olmos, both deserving of more award recognition than they received.
Legion of Super Heroes: The Complete Series is a show that only lasted two seasons from nearly 15 years ago, so I can be forgiven for not ever heard of it before. However, it’s a fun enough time for most ages though I’m not a big fan of the animation style.
The Jesus Rolls is the long-awaited spin-off of the popular side character from The Big Lebowski starring John Turturro who also co-scripted and directed, clearly a passion project.
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is a fun, silly fantasy-comedy that any fan of the character will probably eat up, however myself, I never grew up watching her so I don’t have the same love for the character compared with most around my age.
The Wind, starring Meg Foster, Wings Hauser and David McCallum arrived on Blu-ray through Arrow Video back in April and includes a new interview with the director and the complete score composed in part by Hans Zimmer.
Sixteen Candles is another home-run from John Hughes, further proving his amazing influence on the 1980s that still resonates to this day. This Blu-ray release from Arrow Video offers up great video and audio transfers to go along with some good bonus material.
Pretty in Pink may be one of John Hughes lesser films of the 1980s but still was an enjoyable flick propelled by Molly Ringwald’s wonderful performance.
Impractical Jokers is an incredibly funny show throughout its eight seasons and this movie has its moments and a few of the challenges had me laughing though the scripted segments felt like the filler.
Urban Cowboy is an overly long modernistic western-drama that might feature the normally charismatic John Travolta, but here he is playing just an unlikeable character.
Sniper: Assassin’s End is not a movie featuring high-octane, finely crafted action or fight sequences and while I was moderately entertained and never found it to be dull, I can’t say this is something I’ll remember down the line.
The Dallas Connection is another Sidaris movie that doesn’t really stand out over the rest, though having recently also watched Enemy Gold, does have a more competent plot, take that for what it’s worth, and Julie Strain is beautiful as ever.
Enemy Gold is no better or worse than most of Sidaris’ films, though it’s also really indistinguishable as outside of a scene or two, they all kind of blend together.
