Birds of Prey, despite its madcap narration by Robbie’s Harley Quinn, is a rather forgettable film, though Quinn is still an interesting character, sadly overshadowing the others.
The Postcard Killings Blu-ray Review
The Postcard Killings is a movie that I would’ve lost any interest in if not for a respectable cast, led way by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and the film at least did have a couple twists, though the final act it does lose quite a bit of steam.
Days of Thunder 4K Ultra HD Review
Days of Thunder isn’t a great racing film and rather low in the rankings amongst both Tom Cruise and Tony Scott’s resume, but the scenes of the actual races were pretty good and as a whole, was entertaining enough.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Sonic the Hedgehog might not be top-tier family entertainment but even as someone who doesn’t quite have the same sort of nostalgia, I still found it to be a lot of fun, mostly to an almost old-school performance from Jim Carrey.

Top Gun 4K Ultra HD Review
Top Gun is a wildly entertaining action-romance featuring the ever so charming Tom Cruise, surrounded by a solid supporting cast including McGinnis, Edwards and Kilmer, directed by the late Tony Scott.
The Rhythm Section Blu-ray Review
The Rhythm Section is a failed attempt at the female-assassin subgenre despite having a fine actress in Blake Lively at the center, supported by Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown.
The Photograph Blu-ray Review
The Photograph, a drama from the director of The Weekend, features two charming leads in LaKeith Stanfield and Issa Rae, albeit the story itself is on the slow side. The Blu-ray/DVD is available on May 12th.
War of the Worlds 4K Ultra HD Review
War of the Worlds certainly is not top shelf Steven Spielberg and generally I didn’t like it quite as much as I did 15 years ago, however I will say the visual effects mostly held up and I can’t say I was ever bored.
Flashdance: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Flashdance is at times cheesy — as many of these 1980s dramas tended to be — but it’s entertaining, features a great soundtrack and incredible performance from a phenomenal performance from Jennifer Beals.

Grand Isle Blu-ray Review
Grand Isle is the latest direct-to-video thriller starring Nicolas Cage and also features Kadee Strickland and Kelsey Grammer and is now on Blu-ray.
Richard Jewell Blu-ray Review
Richard Jewell, based on the true story about the 1996 Olympic bombing, is director Clint Eastwood’s latest and stars Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm and Olivia Wilde.
Trapped Blu-ray Review
Trapped is an adequate enough thriller but nothing terribly notable outside of a nice cast headlined by Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon. This is the third time, at least those in my collection, released by Mill Creek.
Gunsmoke: The Complete Series DVD Review
Gunsmoke isn’t usually my cup of tea but I did find the series to be rather compelling and features a nice ensemble cast led way by James Arness and the show does harkens back to a simpler time, although for its time, probably was more real compared with other programming in the 1950s and 60s.
Tin Cup: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
Tin Cup is a fun and charming romantic comedy with two charismatic performances from Costner and Russo, although it is a bit long running over two hours.
