The Dead Zone doesn’t quite enter into classic territory for me, but I did generally find it entertaining thanks to a charismatic enough performance from Christopher Walken who actually plays the lead fairly straight.
The Final Countdown is a thinly plotted but ultimately entertaining sci-fi mystery drama featuring the legendary Kirk Douglas in the lead. While it’s more or less an expanded episode of the old Twilight Zone series, it’s still a fun time.
Judas and the Black Messiah, starring Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stainfield, arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, on May 5th and comes with two featurettes.
The Believers isn’t a bad supernatural thriller though it does kind of fall apart towards the third act to the point of near absurdity, but even so, might be worth a watch if only for some half-decent performances from Martin Sheen and Robert Loggia.
The Amazing Spider-Man certainly had opportunities to be a great movie and although I still enjoyed the film, sometimes even immensely, there are times the script could’ve been tweaked. Even so, the casting was pretty good starting with Andrew Garfield who will hopefully find more bearings with the sequel(s) while Emma Stone was a delight.

O is a harrowing movie headlined with strong writing but even stronger performances from a young and impressive cast, primarily Mekhi Phifer and Josh Hartnett. The Blu-ray offers up an OK video transfer but the DTS-HD MA more than makes up for it even when not all the features from the DVD were ported over.
