Women Talking is a drama scripted and directed by Sarah Polley and stars Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Ben Winshaw and Frances McDormand and arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on March 7th.
The Adventures of Batman is a show of its time and while I can appreciate the animation style, everything else was tough to sit through. I suppose if you’re a Batman and/or DC completist, perhaps this is worth picking up.
Epic Showdowns features four action movies including Kull the Conqueror, The Cowboy Way, The Jackal and End of Days and features a variety of stars like Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Kiefer Sutherland and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre gets yet another release and while this is a case of squeezing as much money out of the strong fan base as possible, this movie has never looked or sounded better.
I don’t mind admitting Chicago is an amazing musical that holds up just as well today as it did 10 years ago and still deserving of its 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Dazed and Confused doesn’t quite live up to what I’ve heard about the film and yet there is a cool factor and a certain sense of nostalgia that makes this liberally boundless story so damn enjoyable through and through.
The Return of Swamp Thing is pretty much a sequel-in-name-only and stars Heather Locklear, Louis Jourdan and Dick Durock as the titular character.
Bones and All, a romantic-drama-horror, comes to Blu-ray from Warner Bros. and stars Taylor Russell, Timothee Chalamet and Mark Rylance.
The Last American Virgin comes to Blu-ray from MVD Entertainment and contains interviews with the cast and crew as well as the trailer and a photo gallery.
Cloverfield has held up pretty well since the (nearly) 10 years since its release. Sure, the dialogue isn’t the sharpest and T.J. Miller got on my nerves, but the suspense is well done and there was some actual emotional resonance with these characters.
London debuts on Blu-ray through Mill Creek Entertainment and stars Chris Evans, Jason Statham, Jessica Biel and Joy Bryant. No features were included, however.
Death Wish is quintessential 1970s crime and grit and with the performance of Charles Bronson makes it a classic in its own right. It’s a fairly thought-provoking flick as well about vigilante justice and its effect on society.
Prey for the Devil is just another run-of-the-mill possession-horror-thriller offering nothing much new to the genre outside of the idea of the Catholic Church’s exorcism school which doesn’t get fully utilized here.
The Italian Job may have an iconic chase sequence and a strong performance by the wonderful Michael Caine, but having now seen this twice, I didn’t think it was anything especially entertaining yet still watchable.
No Mercy, as it stands, is not a memorable film but passably entertaining nevertheless though I wasn’t buying the relationship with Gere and Basinger.
