Two Weeks in Another Town Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

2 Weeks in Another Town is a well done, somewhat inside baseball of Hollywood, and a fine follow-up to The Bad and the Beautiful, that features two well done performances by screen legends Kirk Douglas and Edward G. Robinson.

Beirut Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

Beirut is an uneven yet ultimately engaging enough drama-thriller helped by the charismatic on-screen performance from its star, Jon Hamm. The geo-political story written by Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy never quite gels but it’s still worth a rental at least.

7 Days in Entebbe Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

7 Days in Entebbe is what I would call a competently made average drama-thriller. The performances from Rosamund Pike (especially) and Daniel Bruhl are both well done and the story in of itself was interesting, but how it was presented never gelled quite right. Even so, it’s probably worthy of a rental if you’re interested in the subject.

Alex & Me Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

Alex & Me is a fun little inspirational flick that the family will enjoy, especially anyone in the 10-14 age range, even when things have that sugary, Disney-esque type of humor and a plot that seemed ripped from the 90s.

My Sister Eileen Blu-ray Review

My Sister Eileen is a cute and fun 1950s-era comedy-musical with many of the tropes you would expect from the era, and all of it enjoyable thanks to three wonderful performances by Janet Leigh, Betty Garrett and Jack Lemmon.

Terminal Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

Terminal had plenty of potential with a respectable cast headed by Margot Robbie who turns in another insane performance along the lines of Harley Quinn, sadly the story wasn’t up to snuff and it had a very artificial cool factor that didn’t work.

Sherlock Gnomes Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

Sherlock Gnomes wasn’t awful or anything but between a limited gnome-world and humor that rarely, if ever, landed, it was a bit of a chore to sit through especially when it sounded like the actors couldn’t give two rips either.

Thoroughbreds Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

Thoroughbreds is one of the more unsettling movies I’ve seen in some time featuring two tremendous performances from what should be the next generation of talented actors in Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy.

Acrimony Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

Acrimony is hardly terrible but it’s also par for the course of a Tyler Perry film. The talents of the lovely Taraji P. Henson are utterly wasted as she doesn’t get to show anything other than hostility considering any nice moments of the character went to the younger version.

The Hurricane Heist 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review + BD Screen Caps

The Hurricane Heist could’ve been a great B-movie action-er but outside of some genuinely funny moments, this is the sort of plot I’ve seen many times over the years, most of them destined for the DTV market, where this one should have landed. As it is, this is not in the least terrible and probably passably entertaining at times.

Ninja III: The Domination Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps

Ninja III: The Domination is certainly a strange movie with a half-baked script for sure, with questionable character motivations nearly all around, but it’s hard not to be entertained by its silliness.
