The Final Word on Physical Media
April Fool’s Day is a fun horror-comedy with a respectable ensemble. The kills aren’t bad and while some of the story elements stretched the plot a bit, I still found this to be an entertaining.

The Contractor/The Fan double feature Blu-ray release isn’t anything remarkable as these aren’t high-quality movies to begin with, however both films do have their moments and Wesley Snipes at least never felt like he was phoning it in.
Fit to Kill is ever so slightly better than the previous entry, Hard Hunted, as the humor worked a tad more and there weren’t as many slow moments compared some of the other movies in this series.
Hard Hunted is pretty much in-line with the others in this series, especially the last couple, mostly that the cheesy and camp does not outweigh some of the duller moments that keeps it out of good-bad territory.
The Song of Names is based upon the novel by Norman Lebrecht and stars Tim Roth, Clive Owen and Catherine McCormack arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on March 24th.

Cupid is a fun enough concept I guess but the execution didn’t meet the potential and doesn’t help that the acting was rather bad on just about everybody’s part, not to mention that killer cupid was pretty hilarious more so than menacing.
The Sonata does have its moments and the performance from the young Freya Tingley was one of the highlights. However, the film does plod along somewhat and yet also at the same time, felt like there needed to be more.
Return of Ultraman is another zany science fiction fantasy adventure series. There are some fun moments amongst the stilted dialogue and half-baked storytelling which, more often than not, culminate with Ultraman taking on the episode’s creature.
Hudson Hawk isn’t as bad of a movie as it’s been made to be, but certainly not great by any stretch as some of the humor, not to mention the overcomplicated story, doesn’t always work.

Bombshell, starring an all-star cast including Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, John Lithgow and Margot Robbie comes out on Blu-ray and DVD from Lionsgate this Tuesday, March 10th.
Titans: The Complete Second Season is a solid step up from season one, though I am biased as a fan of Deathstroke who was the central villain, and the new Titans crew is a lot of fun, yes even the arrogant Jason Todd.

UltraSeven, the third series in the Ultraman franchise, and while this is not always my cup of tea, it still holds some entertainment value at least and plenty of funs as you watch men in goofy costumes fight amongst miniature buildings.

Masked and Anonymous is a movie I never had heard of before despite featuring a noteworthy cast, most of whom appeared for the opportunity to work with veteran musician Bob Dylan. For fans of Dylan, this might be a treat.

The Affair: The Complete Series includes all five seasons of the drama-mystery starring Dominic West, Maura Tierney, Ruth Wilson, Joshua Jackson and Anna Paquin.

Rosewood Lane and White Noise: The Light aren’t exactly top-of-the-line movies and the pairing is a bit odd as one is a grounded thriller while the other is in the supernatural realm.
