Lethal Weapon comes to 4K Ultra HD and while the movie is still classic for good reasons, and is still so much of fun to watch, this 4K Ultra HD release has much to be desired with two featurettes while none of the bonus material was ported over.
Strangers With Candy arrives on Blu-ray from Shout Factory on August 10th and features Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello along with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Dan Hedaya, and Allison Janney.
Final Destination: Bloodlines is a fine entry into a one-note franchise and this one at least gives us a different way for Death to go after its victims. If you’re even a moderate fan of the previous entries this one is worth checking out.
Meg 2: The Trench is a movie that could’ve been a whole lot of fun but I found it to be a sludge to sit through and at times, early on mainly, took itself too seriously before finding its campiness for the finale.
This Sean Connery 6-Film Collection comes at a fairly high price and while I do think both the video and audio are an upgrade, not big enough to splurge unless you don’t already own these previously.
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is a charming show that probably newer generations may not appreciate as it has quintessential 1990s style and is cheesy, but I had a lot of fun re-watching with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher having great chemistry.
The Drew Carey Show: The Complete Series was a successful sitcom from 1995 through 2004 and is a classic format with Drew Carey, like Jerry Seinfeld before him, portrays a version of himself. The series set is a great compilation put together for the first time at a reasonable price.
Law Abiding Citizen was a bit of a disappointment for me. I know what the filmmakers’ were after by making giving the audience a difficult choice of which character to ‘root’ for, but the moral choice didn’t work for me.
Godzilla vs. Biollante was released back in 1989 and was part of a resurgence for the giant lizard. This Criterion Collection release offers up great video and audio transfers to go along with some solid bonus features.
Trap is the latest thriller from M. Night Shyamalan and stars Josh Hartnett, Seleka Night and Alison Pill. The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray were released on November 5, 2024.
Juror #2 may not be the highlight from Clint Eastwood as a directory, however it is a perfectly watchable legal drama with decent enough performances.
The Searchers is a great western-drama from the renowned John Wayne pairing up with acclaimed director John Ford. While I’m not the biggest fan of the western genre with few exceptions, this one still a great drama that is well worth checking out.
No Country for Old Men is certainly a solid western-drama that features tremendous performances by Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem, the latter especially making for a quiet but nevertheless menacing villain. That said, this probably being my third viewing, it’s not one that entirely gripped me.
Classified is a middling thriller that stars Aaron Eckhart, Abigail Breslin and Tim Roth. The DVD was released November 5th.
Captain Planet and the Planteers arrives on DVD courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment and includes The Nee Adventures of Captain Planet, though there are no features.
