Dune is a movie that has plenty of technical achievements by director Denis Villeneuve and his team but very little emotion at its core, even with a respectable cast.
The Allnighter isn’t exactly a quintessential movie from the 1980s, probably not even second tier either, and while it’s pretty safe but it’s light-hearted entertainment.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced the date and released artwork for a reboot of the Resident Evil franchise starring Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen with Donal Logue and Neal McDonough. It arrives on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on February 8th.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is slightly better than its predecessor yet still not great although Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and Venom was easily the highlight while we still get the CGI vs. CGI fight sequence during the finale which I find rather boring.
I Dream of Jeannie was well before my time and wasn’t one I watched if/when it was in syndication back in the day either, but even being a product of its time has some funny moments. This Complete Series Blu-ray however has much to be desired…
Krampus I’m sure has its fanbase and while the movie has its moments, along with some respectable effects, I wasn’t terribly enamored finding this to be only moderately entertaining with no real standouts.
The Red Shoes normally isn’t my sort of movie, namely a musical not to mention a ballet musical, but I can admire the direction, cinematography and the performances from two leads.
Busting is a fairly average crime-drama from the 1970s that features a respectable performance by Elliott Gould and a decent enough chase sequence, but otherwise not a whole stands out especially compared with others from the era.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, a 4-episode series originally streamed on Netflix arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Sony Pictures on December 21st.
The Silence of the Lambs is easily one of my favorite movies of all-time (top 10) and is probably The Godfather of the suspense-thriller genre with incredible performances from Foster, Hopkins and Levine and an all-around great experience.
The Long Goodbye is a fun and engaging enough neo noir mystery that features a great performance from Harold Gould alongside solid direction by Robert Altman.
The Giallo Essentials collection has three movies Arrow Films previously released some years ago and I guess if on sale might be worth picking up. In regards to the three movies included, one I thought was pretty good (What Have They Done to Your Daughters?) while the other two had their moments but nothing especially noteworthy.
The Giallo Essentials collection has three movies Arrow Films previously released some years ago and I guess if on sale might be worth picking up. As for the movies, only one I’d consider a true giallo and none are particularly great but watchable.
Street Fighter is a bad movie. Not the worst, but pretty bad for sure. Outside of Raul Julia, in his final theatrical role, who was having fun as the over-the-top villain, everything else was a dud.
Creepshow: Season 2 arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from RLJE Films on December 7th. This horror-anthology series features guest stars including Keifer Sutherland, Joey King, Justin Long, Ali Larter and more.
