Event Horizon is a movie I’ve seen a few times and my ratings ranged from 3.25-3.75 with this go-around on the lower end. There is some entertainment value but the film doesn’t exactly reach its full potential.

She’s the Man might not exactly be some teen comedy classic but had a few moments here and there and was a launching pad for Channing Tatum. The new Blu-ray comes from Paramount released on March 3rd.
Godzilla (v.2014) isn’t a bad movie, not by any stretch, but it didn’t quite meet its full potential. The visual effects are great and when Godzilla finally shows up on screen, 59-minutes in no less, the energy picks up only to get bogged down again with the human element.

The Undoing is a well made suspense-mystery featuring some compelling performances from Kidman, Grant and Sutherland that easily overcomes some of the shortcomings.

Stiletto is a slow burn thriller and while I don’t mind these sorts of movies, there’s little suspense or thrills and sorely underwritten characters, particularly the main as portrayed with little charisma by Alex Cord.
The Fear is far from a great independent horror-thriller but admittedly there are some moments of pure entertainment, mostly for the climax more so than the bulk of the film that don’t make much sense.
Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.
Vanguard is a poorly conceived and worse very unentertaining action-thriller where the usually wonderful Jackie Chan seemingly just phoning it in with rather generic fights and really awful CGI work.

Lady Sings the Blues stars Diana Ross as the incredible singer, Billie Holiday, and arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Paramount and includes a featurette and a set of deleted scenes.
The Don is Dead may not be top-shelf in the mafia crime-dramas but the performances for the most part were pretty good, headlined by Anthony Quinn, and some so-so suspenseful scenes, it’s just nothing overly memorable.
Runaway Train is a great suspense-thriller and one of the few success stories from the Canon Group, garnering strong reviews and even two Academy Award nominations for Voight and Roberts.
Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.
Fatale isn’t a great movie but I can appreciate the pulpy, neo-nourish elements and nice to see Hilary Swank and Michael Ealy who both give solid performances.
