The Final Word on Physical Media
Quick Change is one of my favorite comedies of all time and does feature fun performances from all involved, especially Bill Murray who wore a few hats as actor, producer and co-director. Even though I’ve seen this multiple times, it still holds up.

The Little Things had plenty going for it with no less than three Academy Award winners headlining, and while Washington, Malek and Leto all give fine performances, the film fails as a crime-drama and as a character-drama.

Heartworn Highways is a music-documentary on what is called “outlaw country” and features interviews with the stars of the era including Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Steve Earle. Available on Blu-ray and DVD April 27th.
The Switchblade Sisters has an uneven story but I still found it to be entertaining and the lead actresses were pretty fun in their roles, Joanne Nail especially.
