Assault on Precinct 13 comes to Blu-ray courtesy via Mill Creek Entertainment. This bargain release version (sans bonus material) stars Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, Maria Bello and Drea De Matteo.
Fortress: Sniper’s Eye is just as bland and forgettable as its predecessor and nothing much to really latch on to as there’s no real good bad elements and it’s even harder to watch now knowing what Bruce Willis is going through. For that alone just skip this.
Agent Game, despite its confusing title, wasn’t a half bad direct-to-video flick though the editing was messy and the action scenes could’ve been better choreographed, however there was enough here that kept my attention.
The Initiation of Sarah actually isn’t a half-bad made-for-TV supernatural horror film from 1978 and while it’s pretty water downed and resembles Carrie if only a bit, this is well worth checking out.
Firestarter is one of those remakes/re-adaptations that asks the question: why bother? The end result was a film that has very little to offer and will be forgotten not long after you finish watching.
While a movie like Eraser was primed for a reboot (better yet, a TV series) as the concept is good, the result with Eraser: Reborn was poorly conceived from script to performances.
The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue comes to Blu-ray courtesy of Synapse Films and includes extensive documentaries and commentaries. The Blu-ray comes out June 7th.
The Clock debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Judy Garland and Robert Walker and is out June 7th.
Grand Slam is a well made heist-thriller directed by Giuliano Montaldo, featuring wonderful performances from Janet Leigh, Robert Hoffmann and Klaus Kinski.
Ziegfeld Girl debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars James Stewart, Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr and Lana Turner. The Blu-ray comes out June 7th.
Stunt Rock might’ve been an interesting idea on paper and admittedly Grant Page has a great personality to the point I wish this was a documentary on the man instead of mixing a fictionalized storyline.
Savage Sisters is a passable but pretty forgettable 1970s-era female-led action flick but Gloria Hendry, Sid Haig and John Ashley are highlights.
Love Slaves of the Amazons may have an eye-catching title (not to mention the lovely lady on the cover), but the movie itself is pretty bland and downright boring, a chore to sit through even with the short 81-minute running time.
Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse is the latest direct-to-video feature from DC animated, this one geared more toward a younger audience and fans of either property. The Blu-ray-DVD combo pack is available May 24th.
The Batman is a good film. Not great. I did like that Matt Reeves had a different and unique take on the character who has seen the big screen a handful of times dating back to 1989 and while there is room for improvement.
