Robert the Bruce, although not a sequel, picks up where the events of Braveheart left off and stars Angus Mcfaden (who also co-scripted) and Jared Harris. The Blu-ray release comes with a commentary and a featurette.

Pride and Prejudice, starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, comes to Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection coming with an excellent video and solid audio transfers, alongside a few bonus features.

Haven Blu-ray Review
Haven isn’t one of the top notch amongst the interconnected ensemble dramas and really doesn’t have a whole lot to say, though thankfully not as heavy-handed but I generally thought the performances were alright at least.
Pennyworth: The Complete First Season Blu-ray Review
Pennyworth is the latest series based on characters from DC Comics, this time getting the suspense-filled drama about the background for the future Wayne butler, Alfred. The season arrived on Blu-ray June 23rd.

First Snow Blu-ray Review
First Snow might not have the strongest writing but performances from both Guy Pearce and J.K. Simmons, albeit a small role, does make this a worthwhile watch.
Wonder Woman: The Complete Collection Blu-ray Review
Wonder Woman in terms of content is a show of its time and I’m sure today’s audiences might have a difficult time sitting through an episode, I still find it fairly entertaining thanks in large part to Lynda Carter’s committed performance.

Even Money Blu-ray Review
I usually enjoy these interconnected ensemble movies but Even Money never quite gelled though the performances from Danny DeVito, Tim Roth were rather good, but not enough to make this a must rental or purchase.
Possession Blu-ray Review
Possession had an interesting premise but not enough to stretch it into feature film length or at least provide some consistent story that was engaging rather than a bit on the dull side.
Scoob! 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Scoob may not satisfy hard-core fans of this long-running franchise but I found it mildly entertaining and the CGI animation was pretty good and for the most part liked the voice casting.
Force of Nature Blu-ray Review
Force of Nature isn’t the worst movie around and from a technical perspective, like most of these Grindstone/EFO pictures, competently made, but the script, and in particular the finale, needed some work.
L’Innocente Blu-ray Review
L’Innocente (The Innocent) makes its North American debut on Blu-ray through Film Movement and stars Giancarlo Giannini (most Americans will recognize from Casino Royale), Laura Antonelli and Jennifer O’Neill.
The Other Lamb Blu-ray Review
The Other Lamb is a new psychological horror-thriller film from director Malgorzata Szumowska and starring Raffey Cassidy and Michiel Huisman, comes to Blu-ray & DVD on July 28th.
Survive the Night Blu-ray Review
Survive the Night is merely one of those bland movies that’s just competent enough to not be bad yet have such an average script to be all that entertaining, even as a time-waster.
Airplane: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Airplane remains one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen and has endured the test of time, though probably some jokes would not be looked favorably in today’s climate and a movie like this wouldn’t be allowed to be made today. Still, funny as hell.

Nathalie: Escape from Hell Blu-ray Review
Nathalie is a sleazy film for sure with horrible dubbing and a thin plot, yet still found it semi-tolerable with Patrizia Gori being easy on the eyes and at least Jacqueline Laurent was hilariously bad with her cackling.
