F1: The Movie might not break new ground in terms of the story but the action is well filmed and the performance by Brad Pitt reminds you just how charming he can be. Director Joseph Kosinski is on a hot streak with this and Top Gun: Maverick.

Superman (2025) is a fine start to the revamped DC Universe under the guide of James Gunn and Peter Safran. David Corenswet is fun as Superman and Nicholas Hoult truly makes you hate Lex Luthor.
At best I would say Jurassic World Rebirth was watchable and okay as a time-waster but it joins the ranks of the others in the franchise of being mediocre.

Scent of a Woman arrives on 4K Ultra HD courtesy of Shout Factory. The drama stars Al Pacino, Chris O’Donnell and a young Philip Seymour Hoffman. Features unfortunately only include two new interviews.

The Conjuring is one of the better supernatural-horror-thriller in spite of a few plot holes (or conveniences). Under the skilled direction of James Wan, this is an all-around entertaining movie especially with the chemistry shared between Farmiga and Wilson.
Air America isn’t a great war-drama-comedy especially compared with the classics, but I still found it mildly entertaining and both Gibson and Downey Jr. acquit themselves fairly well.
Lethal Weapon comes to 4K Ultra HD and while the movie is still classic for good reasons, and is still so much of fun to watch, this 4K Ultra HD release has much to be desired with two featurettes while none of the bonus material was ported over.
Strangers With Candy arrives on Blu-ray from Shout Factory on August 10th and features Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello along with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Dan Hedaya, and Allison Janney.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a fine entry into a one-note franchise and this one at least gives us a different way for Death to go after its victims. If you’re even a moderate fan of the previous entries this one is worth checking out.

Meg 2: The Trench is a movie that could’ve been a whole lot of fun but I found it to be a sludge to sit through and at times, early on mainly, took itself too seriously before finding its campiness for the finale.

This Sean Connery 6-Film Collection comes at a fairly high price and while I do think both the video and audio are an upgrade, not big enough to splurge unless you don’t already own these previously.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is a charming show that probably newer generations may not appreciate as it has quintessential 1990s style and is cheesy, but I had a lot of fun re-watching with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher having great chemistry.

The Drew Carey Show: The Complete Series was a successful sitcom from 1995 through 2004 and is a classic format with Drew Carey, like Jerry Seinfeld before him, portrays a version of himself. The series set is a great compilation put together for the first time at a reasonable price.

Godzilla vs. Biollante was released back in 1989 and was part of a resurgence for the giant lizard. This Criterion Collection release offers up great video and audio transfers to go along with some solid bonus features.
