Air America isn’t a great war-drama-comedy especially compared with the classics, but I still found it mildly entertaining and both Gibson and Downey Jr. acquit themselves fairly well.

Lethal Weapon 4K Ultra HD Review
Lethal Weapon comes to 4K Ultra HD and while the movie is still classic for good reasons, and is still so much of fun to watch, this 4K Ultra HD release has much to be desired with two featurettes while none of the bonus material was ported over.
Hot Seat Blu-ray Review
Hot Seat is just another throwaway direct-to-video flick that features Mel Gibson in a supporting role with Kevin Dillon joining the ranks of actors to star in these shelf-filler films.
Agent Game Blu-ray Review
Agent Game, despite its confusing title, wasn’t a half bad direct-to-video flick though the editing was messy and the action scenes could’ve been better choreographed, however there was enough here that kept my attention.
Agent Game arrives May 24 on Blu-ray and DVD
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced the date and released artwork for the suspense-thriller Agent Game starring Dermot Mulroney, Annie Ilonzeh, Jason Isaacs, Katie Cassidy and Mel Gibson.

Dangerous Blu-ray Review
Dangerous is just another run-of-the-mill direct-to-video film that had its moments and at least was moderately entertaining if only for Scott Eastwood and Mel Gibson in his brief screen time.
Bird on a Wire Blu-ray Review
Bird on a Wire seemed to have the ingredients for a fun action-comedy with the starpowers, especially for 1990, of both Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn, however despite their individual charms they really didn’t share great chemistry.
Fatman Blu-ray Review
Fatman isn’t especially memorable but I always enjoy seeing a gruff Mel Gibson and his portrayal of a grounded Santa Claus. The movie is saved thanks to an entertaining final sequence as well as Gibson and Walton Goggins.
Mad Max 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
It’s easy to see why Mad Max has reached cult status, even with the low budget, director George Miller, along with star Mel Gibson’s on-screen charisma, is still very well regarded 40 years later.
Force of Nature Blu-ray Review
Force of Nature isn’t the worst movie around and from a technical perspective, like most of these Grindstone/EFO pictures, competently made, but the script, and in particular the finale, needed some work.
Braveheart: 25th Anniversary Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
Braveheart is one hell of a film with a powerful performance from Mel Gibson, even when his Scottish accent wasn’t always the best. Beyond that, his direction was well done with some great choreographed battle scenes.

Braveheart 4K UHD + BD Screen Caps
Braveheart is one hell of a film with a powerful performance from Mel Gibson, even when his Scottish accent wasn’t always the best. Beyond that, his direction was well done with some great choreographed battle scenes reminding you, just as it did on Gladiator, of old school epic Hollywood.
Daddy’s Home 2 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Daddy’s Home 2 might not be very good and some Christmas comedy-classic-in-the-making this is not, but I did manage to chuckle a few times here and there and I did genuinely enjoy seeing Mel Gibson generally being a dick, otherwise it’s an unmemorable film.

Review: Blood Father BD + Screen Caps
Blood Father is a beautifully crafted drama about redemption and reconciliation featuring two great and emotional performances by Mel Gibson and Erin Moriarty in conjunction with an efficient story that doesn’t wear out its welcome with superfluous scenes.
Review: The Singing Detective BD + Screen Caps
The Singing Detective is a bit jarring in its presentation yet there’s some fine moments especially with the performance from Robert Downey Jr. and to some extent Mel Gibson if only for the weird hairpiece and make-up which was more distracting than anything. The Blu-ray release by Olive is decent enough I guess but there were some minor issues with the video while the audio is better than expected. That said, for the money it’s a bit much.
