Tully was a surprisingly well done drama from director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody, both teaming up again for another solid film. Along with those two, Charlize Theron turns in a wonderful and powerful performance.
Breaking In Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Breaking In isn’t a fresh suspense/thriller as the story has been done, to some extent, done before though with the twist of a mother trying to break back into the fortified home. Gabrielle Union delivers a fine performance in what is in the end an entertaining throwaway thriller.
Affairs of State Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Affairs of State probably could’ve been a fun and cheesy erotic political thriller but at times it wanted to be taken a bit too seriously and send a message that only would resonate with one side of the aisle.

The Death of Superman 4K UHD & Blu-ray Review + BD Screen Caps
The Death of Superman was a great addition to DC’s Animated Movie line with a tight and well told adaptation of the famous story, doing far better justice than Superman: Doomsday, and some fine voice talent work in addition, though Rainn Wilson’s Lex Luthor sounded off.

Life of the Party Blu-ray Review
Life of the Party might be a far more tolerable Melissa McCarthy vehicle compared to Tammy and The Boss, but it’s still not all that good, either, with the humor rarely hitting the mark.
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean + Screen Caps
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean is a solid western which is saying something coming from someone who generally isn’t the biggest fan of the genre outside of the classics and it excels thanks to Paul Newman’s charms.

Billy Budd Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Billy Budd is a well made, high-seas adventure film that features a great breakout performance from Terence Stamp marking only his second feature film (his first also was released in ’62).
Lionheart Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Lionheart is a film with the right mixture of cheese and genuine entertainment and was one of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s breakout role. Although his acting still wasn’t great (seemed to get better the more major roles he received), I still enjoyed the film in spite of the flaws.
Dark Crimes Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Dark Crimes had some potential and as a fan of these procedural murder-mysteries, this should’ve been right in my wheelhouse, but instead we get a dry and at times dull story with poor pacing; outside of Jim Carrey’s devoted performance, this is not something I could recommend.
Someone’s Watching Me Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Someone’s Watching Me might not be top shelf John Carpenter, even when taking into account the limitations of being made-for-television, but it is quite entertaining with some genuine thrills.

I Feel Pretty Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
I Feel Pretty is a movie with a fine message but falls flat with poorly written jokes and a plot that doesn’t exactly feel fresh, a rehash of something like Shallow Hal.

Genghis Khan Blu-ray Review
An uneven adventure-drama, Genghis Khan is still a well acted, primarily by Omar Sharif in the title role, and entertaining enough film.
Cinderella Liberty Blu-ray Review
Cinderella Liberty is a well acted, if not uneven, drama-romance with two great performances by James Caan and Marsha Mason who did receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
Super Troopers 2 Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Super Troopers 2 might’ve been a passion project for the many fans of the 2001 film that garnered cult status over the course of a decade, but for someone who only felt so-so about that one, this sequel was, most of the time, painfully unfunny.
