The Final Word on Physical Media
Clue is one of those comedies that have stood the test of time. The actors are so funny and perfectly cast for their respective roles and despite being based on a board game, and as inane/forced as the plot is, it’s reasonably mysterious to go along with the comedy.

Love Actually is just an all around fun, charming and heartwarming romantic-comedy-drama that features an amazing ensemble cast and even though I’ve seen this numerous times, it still doesn’t fail to make me smile.

Silver Bullet is by no means a good movie or even all that entertaining, though the acting from Busey and Haim were good and the effects work was fairly impressive considering the time period. I suppose if you’re a super-fan of Stephen King’s works this might hit the right spot.

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.
White Lightning might not hold a candle to other Burt Reynolds gems like Smokey and the Bandit, and perhaps there is a reason this, and its sequel, Gator, aren’t fondly remembered, however outside fo a couple okay car chase sequences, there’s not a whole lot that’s memorable.
Le Mépris (Contempt) is a drama from director Jean-Luc Godard and stars Brigitte Bardot Jack Palance, Michel Piccoli and Fritz Lang.
The Fugitive remains one of the best action-thrillers I’ve seen in many years and easily a standout of TV to screen adaptations. Despite being 130-minutes long, the film flies by and utilizes each minute with little filler.
The Nun II isn’t unwatchable for sure and I do like Taissa Farmiga who possesses some of that lovely screen presence as her big sister, but the movie does not break any semblance of new ground in the possession-horror genre.
Meg 2: The Trench is a movie that could’ve been a whole lot of fun but I found it to be a sludge to sit through and at times, early on mainly, took itself too seriously before finding its campiness for the finale.
Neon City is a sci-fi apocalyptic thriller from 1991 and stars Michael Ironside and Vanity. The Blu-ray released by Kino Lorber includes an Audio Commentary and an interview with Ironside.
Natural Born Killers is a frenetic thriller-drama from writer-director Oliver Stone and while it’s not a movie I ever really liked, it does have great style and amazing performances from Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis.
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.
