Law & Order: Special Victims Unit needs to be commended for staying on the air for an astounding 25 seasons and while I don’t find this a must-watch series, the acting at least was passable and some compelling stories.
Reacher: Season Two cones to 4K Ultra HD (and Blu-ray) and stars Alan Ritchson as the titular character in this second season with more thrills and action.
Icons Unearthed: Fast & Furious is the third release in the VICE series and comes to Blu-ray from Mill Creek Entertainment and features interviews Tyrese Gibson, Lucas Black and others.
Vikings: Valhalla arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on August 27th through MGM. The series stars Sam Corlett, Frida Gustavsson, Leo Suter and Bradley Freegard.
Succession: The Complete Series arrives on Blu-ray on August 27th from Warner Bros. and all of the featurettes from the individual season releases are ported over.
Abigail is another fun and entertaining horror-thriller (with dark comedy) from Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett and is inline with Ready or Not.
Anchorman isn’t a favorite of mine but all these years later is still quotable and a lot of fun to watch with Will Ferrell in all his over-the-top glory.
Tarot is just another run-of-the-mill supernatural-horror film that doesn’t break any new ground with the well worn genre but worse, has not one ounce of entertainment value with cardboard cutout characters with superficial personalities.
Twister might not be feature an award-winning screenplay but it is a fun summer popcorn fest that even nearly 30 years later still holds up in both entertainment but also visual effects and a great cast.
Girlfight is a well done drama featuring a breakout performance from a young, pre-Fast and the Furious, Michelle Rodriguez and despite not seeing it in over two decades, still holds up and is well worth checking out as it likely went under the radar.
The Flash: The Original Series is a fun enough superhero show that has all the hallmarks of the early 90s and before the subgenre was taken seriously. Still, John Wesley Shipp is wonderful as Barry Allen.
Once Upon a Time in the West is a classic western for good reason and features great performances from all involved, but especially Henry Fonda, Jason Robards and Charles Bronson.
Bound is still my favorite of The Wachowskis movies, even above The Matrix, which itself has also aged quite well. This one has two amazing performances from Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano for his part was wonderfully chaotic.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is I suppose one of the better offerings in the MonsterVerse but that may be faint praise given, outside of Kong: Skull Island, these movies tend to be forgettable and this one pays less focus on the humans at least.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan finally gets the character due treatment, though I was entertained by the feature films, giving him time to develop over the five season run, and John Krasinski showcasing his action and dramatic chops.
