The Final Word on Physical Media
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.

Impasse is an adventure comedy starring a young Burt Reynolds along with Anne Francis, arrived on Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber on January 11th.
I can respect the talent of Edgar Wright as he is a visually great filmmaker and while I wasn’t totally engrossed with his latest outing, I will say Last Night in Soho is well worth checking out.
Superhost is a passably entertaining horror-thriller thanks to Gracie Gillum’s performance as an imbalanced crazy person while the social commentary on vlogging is pretty fun to watch.
Halloween Kills is an ill-conceived follow-up to 2018’s Halloween which itself was an ill-conceived sequel to the 1978 original. There’s not much here to admire outside a couple technical aspects, and it doesn’t give me much hope for Halloween Ends.

The Addams Family 2, starring the voice talents of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz and Nick Kroll arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from MGM this Tuesday, January 18th.
Breakheart Pass is an all-around fun and entertaining western-thriller with Charles Bronson once more great in the lead.
The Toolbox Murders is a mediocre slasher where the mystery element goes by the wayside halfway through (not that the identity isn’t hard to tell) but features a creepily fun performance by the great Cameron Mitchell.

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…
