Cat People arrives on 4K Ultra HD from Shout Factory with a new 4K scan from the original camera negative. The film stars Natassia Kinski, Malcolm McDowell, John Heard and Annette O’Toole.
A Clockwork Orange might be a classic and I can see some of its attributes with the style and acting from Malcolm McDowell, but for myself I found it difficult to sit through, mainly for a lack of interest in what was going on.
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced the Steelbook release of Rob Zombie’s 31 which stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and Malcolm McDowell.
Bombshell, starring an all-star cast including Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, John Lithgow and Margot Robbie comes out on Blu-ray and DVD from Lionsgate this Tuesday, March 10th.
The Teen Titans: The Complete Series release is a great set especially if you didn’t already own the individual releases, plus it saves a small amount of shelf space for those lacking it.

The Star Trek: Picard – Movie & TV Collection is not a release for fans of the franchise but those who have a low or at best moderate interest in the series but never purchased the original TNG movie collection.

I Spy is a half-baked TV-to-movie adaptation that flopped at the box office and it’s easy to see why, not only does it feature a weak plot, but the chemistry between Wilson and Murphy was not there.
Class of 1999 is cheesy as all hell but an incredibly fun 1980s film (albeit released in 1990) that features a great supporting cast including Malcolm McDowell, Stacy Keach and Pam Grier alongside the young actors who served well in the leads.

The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb is a harmless but nevertheless bad adventure-fantasy that tries to be the low budget version of The Mummy but fails, along with some poor performances albeit not helped by shoddy writing.
The DC Universe: 10th Anniversary Collection is an excellent release that even though some of the animated movies aren’t the best, having them in one place is nice. The only issue I have is, there is going to be more releases and given how physical media is going, not entirely sure there will be a volume 2 release, but who knows.

Death Race 2050 might not be very good but the filmmakers weren’t trying to make it very good and as a throwback to the 1975 original it certainly does the job well. That said, watching it solo, it wasn’t all that fun with the gimmick wearing thin early on but I suspect if you watched in a group, there might be some entertainment value.
31 is another below average horror movie from Rob Zombie though the opening sequence with a creepy ass performance from Robert Brake at least was memorable, shame the movie wasn’t about his psychotic clown character.
Time After Time is an obscure movie from the late 1970s but as cheesy as it is in some instances, it’s still a fun flick featuring good performances from Malcolm McDowell and David Warner with honorable mention to Mary Steenburgen before she would fall in love with another time traveler a decade later.
Just Visiting is really the typical film to come from the early 21st century and, from what I’ve read, a poor remake of the French original where it appears filmmakers brought in John Hughes to “Americanize” the story and for that, it makes for a safe but utterly forgettable movie.
