Richard Jewell Blu-ray Review
Richard Jewell, based on the true story about the 1996 Olympic bombing, is director Clint Eastwood’s latest and stars Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm and Olivia Wilde.
Trapped Blu-ray Review
Trapped is an adequate enough thriller but nothing terribly notable outside of a nice cast headlined by Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon. This is the third time, at least those in my collection, released by Mill Creek.
Tin Cup: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
Tin Cup is a fun and charming romantic comedy with two charismatic performances from Costner and Russo, although it is a bit long running over two hours.

King Creole: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
King Creole is a fun musical crime-drama with Elvis Presley obviously in his and the chemistry with Carolyn Jones was absolutely wonderful.

Fatal Attraction: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Fatal Attraction is one of those quintessential movies of the 80s but even 30+ years later, it still holds up quite well. Although by today’s standards it’s probably par for the course, the sex scenes are still steamy.

30 Rock: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
30 Rock is a hilarious show, probably the funniest one I’ve come across since Seinfeld and Frasier. The ensemble was pitch-perfectly cast headlined by Tina Fey and even Alec Baldwin, along with Jack McBrayer, Jane Krakowski and Tracy Morgan.

To Catch a Thief: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
To Catch a Thief is a middle-of-the-road mystery-thriller from Alfred Hitchcock, which does say something about the filmmaker, that works because of the chemistry between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.

Police Squad: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
Police Squad: The Complete Series might have only lasted six episodes, but it probably was ahead of its time and, for my money, was actually far funnier than the first season of Seinfeld which thankfully NBC stuck with, if only ABC had done the same…

Like a Boss Blu-ray Review
Like a Boss is a poorly conceived, weak friend-comedy that features a couple fine actresses in Byrne and Hayek, but ultimately unfunny film with a plot that, even with a sub-80-minute running time (without end credits), was stretched thin.
The Passion of Darkly Noon Blu-ray Review
The Passion of Darkly Noon is quite the interesting romance-drama with an unusual style with oversaturated colors and also features a good cast with Brendan Fraser, Ashley Judd and Viggo Mortensen.

Dark Waters Blu-ray Review
Dark Waters is a well made, legal drama that’s in the same vein as 1999’s The Insider and while I don’t feel it’s as effectively directed by Todd Haynes, it is still well worth checking out.
Spies in Disguise 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Spies in Disguise is a pleasant animated feature for the entire family, with humor suitable for both kids and adults alike, and really excels with not only some great animation, but the voice talents of Smith and Holland were ideal for their roles.
