Deadly Games was more deadly boring than anything else. The characters were generally annoying and the kills on the duller side. This is your typical ‘forgotten’ horror-slasher born out of the early 80s.
Escape from L.A. seems to blend together 1980s and 1990s cheese with a mixture of success while others are just too much, though Kurt Russell is still great as Snake. I will say, this one at least does have some replay value.
Edge of Darkness arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan and is out January 8.
Catwoman: Hunted might not be top shelf entertainment from the DC Animated line but still was passable with some good artwork and voice acting by Elizabeth Gillies in the lead.
The Three Musketeers comes to Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Lana Turner, Gene Kelly, Angela Lansbury and Vincent Price and is out February 15.
Gold Diggers of 1933 debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Warren William, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon and Ginger Rogers.
Dead Heat is an all-around fun 1980s dark comedy horror film featuring some impressive makeup effects along with entertaining performances from Williams and Piscopo.
Village of the Giants is sort of your typical fantasy-comedy from the 1960s and easy to see why it was mocked on Mystery Science Theater 3000, but without them, watching on its own is kind of a chore as for the most part it’s fairly dull.
Clifford the Big Red Dog is a safe movie for the entire family, but especially the young ones with clean humor and wholesome message. Nothing great but still harmless.
The F/X movies are by no means great but they are good, old-fashioned fun with Bryan Brown making for a charismatic lead along with Brian Dennehy who is great in every scene.
Murphy’s Law isn’t Charles Bronson at his best and is more memorable for the young Kathleen Wilhoite and her plethora of lovely insults which makes this so hilarious and the story at least is serviceable with a great and utterly scary villainous.
The Skulls franchise isn’t great by any means and while none of them are awful, they never really tapped into what could’ve been a fun, over-the-top thriller and instead each was rather forgettable.
Apex is just another poorly made direct-to-video flick with Bruce Willis likely showing up for a day or two, though I will say he at least attempts to give some semblance of a performance instead of the blank expression he often shows in these types of movies.
Fortress is nothing that I haven’t seen before from these direct-to-video films with an uninspiring story and another mundane performance from Bruce Willis with his now usual blank, expressionless face.
Wayne’s World is an all-around funny music-comedy showcasing both Mike Myers’s and Dana Carvey’s talents and the movie still holds up all these years later.
