The Dark Power maybe had the potential to be a fun zombie-horror-comedy but like Alien Outlaw, it meanders through most of its already short 80-minute running time and by the finale I kind of tuned out.

Alien Outlaw is a B-movie of the sci-fi western variety and while certainly not good and drags for the first half, I will say at least Kari Anderson plus Lash McRue were a lot fun and I can’t say I hated the experience.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One might not be the strongest in the long-running franchise with a story that’s obviously only half told. Still, the action sequences were excellent as always and even though it is well over 2.5 hours, there’s never a dull moment and is entertaining from start to finish.
The Others is a well made gothic-drama-horror film featuring wonderful performances, most notably by Nicole Kidman. Under the direction of Alejandro Amenábar, it’s a great movie to watch any time of the year.
School of Rock was never one of my favorites to come out – and the story itself might be on the clichéd and predictable side – in 2003 but for music enthusiasts, and fans of Jack Black and Richard Linklater, it might hit the right note.
The Complete Story of Film brings together two extensive documentaries — The Story of Film: Odyssey and The Story of Film: A New Generation — and features numerous clips from around the world and interviews with filmmakers.
Promising Young Woman is a revenge drama-thriller starring the wonderful Carey Mulligan who gives a great performance, even if the movie didn’t always work for me.
Kiss the Girls is a fine suspense/thriller, based on the James Patterson novel, headlined by a respectable cast headlined by Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd.
Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later I thought was an entertaining movie and although it does have that late 90s slasher vibe revitalized thanks to Scream, it’s still a decent enough Halloween film, and one better than the more recent reboot trilogy.
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is one of the better feature films with the Dark Knight and just a well written and amazingly animated film all around with a great voice cast.
The Audie Murphy Collection comes to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber and includes Hell Bent for Leather, Posse From Hell and Showdown.
Triage X: Complete Collection arrived on Blu-ray from Sentai on June 6th and includes clean opening and closing animations as well as an interview.
The Flash is an entertaining if not also flawed movie that is probably is one of the better offerings from DC in a while, though maybe that’s faint praise. I did like the humor and of course seeing Michael Keaton back again was the highlight.
The Ranown Westerns comes to 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection and features five films directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Randolph Scott.
Enter the Dragon is a great martial arts suspense-thriller starring the enigmatic Bruce Lee in his final film and while it’s nothing groundbreaking in terms of the plot, there is enough there to keep it entertaining from beginning to end.
