Hot Seat is just another throwaway direct-to-video flick that features Mel Gibson in a supporting role with Kevin Dillon joining the ranks of actors to star in these shelf-filler films.
A Fugitive From the Past debuts on Blu-ray tArrow Video program featuring a new 1080p transfer and several scene-specific commentary tracks. This is available on September 27th.
Aside from my issue with plot, Blow Out is a film that should be seen along with Coppola’s similarly themed The Conversation starring Gene Hackman which came out in 1974, 7 years earlier.
SEAL Team: Season Five stars David Boreanaz and Max Thieriot and after the first four episodes, transitioned to Paramount+ allowing for more foul language. The DVD arrives on September 13th and includes featurettes, deleted scenes and a gag reel.
The Equalizer: Season Two continues the drama series starring Queen Latifah, Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira, Laya DeLeon and Lorraine Toussaint. The DVD comes out on September 20th.
Paradise Road is a movie that has a powerful message and honestly isn’t a bad film with fine performances but in the end never quite makes the impact it was intending and instead was on the forgettable side.
Cool World was an interesting concept and had some fun visuals but the characters were as thinly developed and the story felt sloppy, if not also uninteresting. Had potential but the end result was a mess and not a surprise why I never bothered to re-watch since its release.
Cat People arrives on 4K Ultra HD from Shout Factory with a new 4K scan from the original camera negative. The film stars Natassia Kinski, Malcolm McDowell, John Heard and Annette O’Toole.

The Black Phone is a solid horror-thriller and box office wise another hit from Blumhouse, however I wasn’t quite as enamored compared to others as it got repetitive at times. That being said, I was entertained and Ethan Hawke’s performance was pretty scary.
NCIS: The Nineteenth Season comes to DVD from Paramount/CBS on August 16th and features a couple new characters alongside veterans including Mark Harmon, Sean Murray, Katrina Law and Gary Cole.
Event Horizon is a movie I’ve seen a few times and my ratings ranged from 3.25-3.75 with this go-around on the lower end. There is some entertainment value but the film doesn’t exactly reach its full potential.
