Tarantula: The Deadly Cargo is a pretty dull movie and has most of the feels of a made-for-tv flick from the 1970s. I do think this one in a group setting you might find some entertainment but watching it alone it wasn’t scary or suspenseful.
The Carey Treatment debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Jaems Coburn, Jennifer O’Neill and Pat Hingle and arrives on Blu-ray on May 10th.
Paramount Home Entertainment releases the Gunsmoke: Movie Collection, which includes Return to Dodge, The Last Apache and To the Last Man, onto DVD in one set, though the discs were previously released individually.
Brewster’s Millions was an incredibly fun comedy flick with the great Richard Pryor turning in a hilarious performance set against an outrageous but hilarious premise.
Batman & Robin is just an all around terrible movie and truly a corporate movie made to sell toys, but thankfully it did tank at the box office ushering in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, but man this movie did not improve, even on the so bad its good level.
Batman Forever certainly was a change-up for the franchise after the very dark turn in Batman Returns and to say it’s a 180 is putting it lightly. Although I acknowledge it’s not good, I do have an affinity for the movie due to nostalgia.
Batman Returns is one of the least favorite of all the Batman movies over the years, though it is far more competently made than Batman & Robin, and I still enjoyed Michael Keaton in the lead.
Batman (1989) was a transformative superhero movie taking a character that largely was known as a light-hearted joke and turning him into the rightfully brooding and Dark Knight.
No Down Payment is a well done and underappreciated movie about 4 families living in 1950s suburbia and features some great performances, particularly Joanne Woodward, Tony Randall and Cameron Mitchell.
