Vacation might turn some off and the certainly the humor is off-color but for myself, it managed to surpass my exceptionally low expectations where I did manage to laugh more than a few times and tolerated characters who might annoy others.
The Hitcher arrives on 4K Ultra HD courtesy of Warner Bros. and given a commentary and an interview with the director.
Friends was a cultural and iconic show which has yet to be outdone. Its success was thanks in most part due to the cast which worked so well together and shared amazing chemistry throughout the 10 year run.
Knuckles speeds onto 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray and features voice actors including Idris Elba and Adam Pally.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit needs to be commended for staying on the air for an astounding 25 seasons and while I don’t find this a must-watch series, the acting at least was passable and some compelling stories.
Reacher: Season Two cones to 4K Ultra HD (and Blu-ray) and stars Alan Ritchson as the titular character in this second season with more thrills and action.

Succession: The Complete Series arrives on Blu-ray on August 27th from Warner Bros. and all of the featurettes from the individual season releases are ported over.
The Strangers is a movie that still holds up today as it did 10 years ago. Its simplicity, and restraint of using jump scares, really helps it stand out from others in the thriller/horror genre even when character development is, at best, minimal.
Can’t Hardly Wait still is a favorite high school movie of mine, partially because it came out at the end of my junior year and because even though I’ve seen it several times over the years, I still manage to laugh and it’s just a fun, almost comfort-like movie.
Game Night might not be one day some comedy classic but it is an awfully fun movie that features plenty of laughs and a entertaining ensemble cast led way by Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams and, albeit a small part, Michael C. Hall.
Black Mass was a decent movie however with this cast lineup and an interesting figure in the history of mobsters, I didn’t find it terribly compelling and as good of a performance Depp gives, his look was distracting.
Abigail is another fun and entertaining horror-thriller (with dark comedy) from Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett and is inline with Ready or Not.
Anchorman isn’t a favorite of mine but all these years later is still quotable and a lot of fun to watch with Will Ferrell in all his over-the-top glory.
