Ford v Ferrari is probably one of my favorite movies of the year, a great mix of high-adrenaline racing and excellent acting by both Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
The Good Liar is a movie only worthwhile for excellent performances by two of the best actors around in Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen, it’s too bad the plotline, and third act specifically, wasn’t better.
Frankie is an ensemble drama featuring some fine actors, headlined by Isabelle Huppert and co-starring Brendan Gleeson, Marisa Tomei and Greg Kinnear. The DVD and Blu-ray is now available for purchase or rental.
Color Out of Space might not have been completely my cup of tea as I prefer a more traditional horror, but I can acknowledge some of the creativity and there were a few great moments that presumably Lovecraft fans will appreciate.
One Missed Call might not be in the top-tier when it comes to the creepy vengeful girl subgenre within J-horror and is entertaining and fairly engaging even with some of the tropes and clichés.
Once Missed Call: Final didn’t exactly take the trilogy out on top with some silly moments, even when taking into account the premise, and the acting wasn’t as strong in comparison.
One Missed Call 2 may not be as strong of a film as its predecessor and certainly plays fast and loose with any rules, if there are any, seemingly making it up as they went along. Having said that, I did like the two lead actors and still managed to be entertained.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series might be barebones, but nice to see Mill Creek release this in high-definition and in nice packaging (similar to their other series releases like The Mandy Project).
Motherless Brooklyn is a nice little passion project from Edward Norton and you can see that come through with his direction and performance. However, that same passion also made for an overly long film.
When a Stranger Calls is an entertaining suspense-thriller featuring fine performances from lead actors Charles Durning and Carol Kane, and while this is a barebones release by Mill Creek, it is the right price point to pick up.
Edge of the Axe has its moments here and there, but too many scenes, especially through the third act, were a bit dull and even with some decent kills, not sure if this is worth the price admission.
Two on the Guillotine comes to the Blu-ray format through the Warner Archive Collection, already available released on January 28. Although there are no features, the video/audio transfers were both well done.
Penelope is a 1960s-era comedy featuring the lovely Natalie Wood comedy marking its debut on Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection, available now.
Countdown is a mind-numbingly dumb movie which I wouldn’t mind if it had an ounce of fun to it, and despite liking lead actress Elizabeth Lail, couldn’t save it.
