The Big Easy is a forgettable but still mildly entertaining romance-thriller with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin. I doubt I’d watch this one again anytime soon but worth at least one viewing.

Superman: 5-Film Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
The Superman: 5-Film Collection has four movies making their debuts on 4K, though really only two of them are worth a damn. I suppose if you’re a Superman fan, maybe it’s worth it, but probably only when it’s on sale.

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut 4K Ultra HD Review
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut does a valiant job giving viewers Donner’s original concept for the sequel and utilizing not only some new visual effects but some rehearsal footage to give as complete of a vision as possible.

Superman II 4K Ultra HD Review
Superman II is hardly perfect and with Richard Lester replacing Richard Donner probably made for a whiplash of a movie in terms of tone, but this still managed to be an entertaining sequel though the goof levels were taken up a notch.
Shooter 4K Ultra HD Review
Shooter is a film that works with Mark Wahlberg’s strengths as an action hero and combined with the fine direction by Antoine Fuqua makes this worth checking out if you hadn’t already in the 15 years since the release.
Nashville: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Nashville is a lengthy but ultimately decent ensemble musical-drama-comedy from Robert Altman and features David Arkin, Barbara Baxley, Ned Beatty, Karen Black, Keith Carradine, Shelley Duvall, Jeff Goldblum amongst many, many others.

Superman: The Movie 4K Ultra HD Review
Superman: The Movie is a special movie that perhaps the current generation might find a bit hokey in its innocence, but I think it still holds up pretty well, albeit I’m still not a big fan of some of the goofier moments.
Exorcist II: The Heretic: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
The Exorcist II: The Heretic is not a good movie but one must give kudos to a talented cast, most notably Linda Blair and Richard Burton, for doing their best to wade through a sometimes insane plot.

It is quite the time we live in for media, even if the physical is on the decline, as now after decades where it lived only on the bootleg forum, we finally get to see Superman: The Movie – Extended Cut aka the TV Version, restored in HD and although I’ll be sticking with the other version.

Review: The Unholy BD + Screen Caps
The Unholy is an uneven movie with some 1980s supernatural-horror charms but in spite of some spirited, so to speak, performances, this was a rather forgettable film from the era.
Steven Spielberg: Director’s Collection Blu-ray Review
The Steven Spielberg: Director’s Collection is a fine selection, that Universal has access to, that general movies fans will appreciate, even if a couple aren’t that great (1941 and Always specifically). However, given the studio’s history, those who already own previous releases like E.T. and Jurassic Park, could wait as I’m sure the exclusive titles will come available on their own at some point down the road.
