Saving Silverman is a movie of its time with its core cast, especially Jason Biggs coming off the American Pie and its sequel, and an early film from Jack Black.
Midnight in the Switchgrass is another straight-to-video (or streaming) flick that might grab ones attention seeing Bruce Willis and/or Megan Fox on the cover but what you get is a half-baked story, some shoddy editing and another sleepwalking performance from Willis.
I Wouldn’t Be in Your Shoes debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Don Castle, Elyse Knox and Regis Toomey.
Icy Breasts, a terrible and inaccurate title, is a decent mystery-drama featuring from what I can tell for a foreign film, solid performances from Alain Delon, Mireille Darc and Claude Brasseur.
There Was a Crooked Man debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Hume Cronyn, Warren Oates and Burgess Meredith.
Although not the strongest movie within Guy Ritchie’s filmography, Wrath of Man sees the filmmaer re-team with Jason Statham to make a solid, and all around entertaining action-thriller well worth checking out.
The Harvey Girls debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Judy Garland, John Hodiak, Ray Bolger and Angela Lansbury and is out December 22.
House of Wax, while far from great, is still a decently entertaining remake featuring some well done practical and halfway respectable visual effects plus had some creepy moments.
Almost Famous is a superbly made music-drama from Cameron Crowe, digging back to his days as a teenager writing for Rolling Stone. The movie features a fantastic cast with Kate Hudson and Billy Crudup being the highlights.
Dead & Buried is a fun little horror-mystery with a plot that would’ve fit in with an episode of Tales from the Crypt. The gore effects from Stan Winston were well done for its time and Jack Albertson was the standout amongst the cast.
Another 48 HRS is another average if not also forgettable sequel to a movie that I personally never was in love with, although I found it mostly entertaining. The dynamic between Murphy and Nolte wasn’t very strong and the manufactured conflict was pretty annoying.
48 Hrs is a great buddy-action flick but not because of the story but, like others in the genre, the dynamic between the two leads. Both Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy do a great job bouncing off one another.
