Neptune’s Daughter debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Esther Williams, Red Skelton and Ricardo Montalban and is out March 14th.
The Fan has some interesting commentary on sports and the fanatic fan, however the finale was utterly ridiculous. However, the performances from both Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes were good and coming at a time when both actors were still giving it their all.
Women Talking is a drama scripted and directed by Sarah Polley and stars Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Ben Winshaw and Frances McDormand and arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on March 7th.
The Adventures of Batman is a show of its time and while I can appreciate the animation style, everything else was tough to sit through. I suppose if you’re a Batman and/or DC completist, perhaps this is worth picking up.
I don’t mind admitting Chicago is an amazing musical that holds up just as well today as it did 10 years ago and still deserving of its 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture.

Death Wish is quintessential 1970s crime and grit and with the performance of Charles Bronson makes it a classic in its own right. It’s a fairly thought-provoking flick as well about vigilante justice and its effect on society.
No Mercy, as it stands, is not a memorable film but passably entertaining nevertheless though I wasn’t buying the relationship with Gere and Basinger.
Christmas in Paradise comes to Blu-ray from Lionsgate and stars Kelsey Grammer, Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus and was released on November 15th.
Twilight is a perfectly watchable neo-noir crime drama thanks in large part to a great cast with Newman, Sarandon and Hackman giving great performances, however the script isn’t the best and really not much memorable with the direction either.
