It’s taken me a while to get around to watching Ryan Gosling in Drive, I’m not sure what was holding me back, but I finally settled into this one, and I have to admit, I really dug it. First off, let’s mention the cast that surrounds Gosling in this film, there’s not an actor that…

The Church (1989) – Michele Soavi
Lamberto Bava stepped out of the director’s chair for Michele Soavi, but remained heavily involved in the production alongside Dario Argento. It was originally supposed to be a third entry in the Demons series, but Soavi wanted to make a slightly more elevated picture, and Demons 3 was forgotten to tell a different kind of…
Edenville (2023) – Sam Rebelein
I love a good horror novel, and I often find myself cruising best of lists to find something that catches my interest and haven’t heard of. Apparently in October of last year, I missed a stellar horror release by Sam Rebelein. Combining folk, cosmic and body horror, Edenville pulled me in and completely enraptured me…
Punch-Drunk Love (2002) – 4K Review
I’ll be honest. I wasn’t a fan of Adam Sandler. I never really found him that funny. His style just didn’t appeal to me. When I saw him in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love, however, I saw a completely different side of him as he took on the lead role of Barry Egan in a…
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) – 4K Review
Stanley Kramer’s funny, provocative, and poignant Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner from 1967 has been a hole in my viewing history for far too long. With the arrival of Sony’s release of Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection Volume 4, I was able to remedy that, and I was finally able to settle in and…
His Girl Friday (1940) – 4K Review
The first film in the Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection, Volume 4 is wonderful and fantastic, His Girl Friday, helmed by the incredible Howard Hawks, and starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, I was very eager to dig into the film to see how the upgraded image looked, as well as the chance to…
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) – 4K Review
I was delightfully surprised by Paramount Pictures Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Things, but if I had known that John Francis Daley was involved, I wouldn’t have been. Daley has been a delight since I came across him in Freaks and Geeks, and whether in front of or behind the camera, he’s always fantastic (check…
Broadcast News (1987) – James L. Brooks
Holly Hunter is a treasure and she sparked in Broadcast News. She shines so wholly that she almost eclipses her co-stars Albert Brooks and William Hurt. James L. Brooks wrote and directed this Oscar-nominated film (seven of them, including best picture, actress, actor, supporting actor and didn’t take home one) that lets a love triangle…
Star Trek: The Next Generation 4K Movie Collection
Space, the final frontier… I can remember each and every time I saw a Star Trek movie in the theatre, and much like the 4K release of the Trek films featuring the cast of The Original Series, Paramount Picture’s release of the four films featuring The Next Generation cast in 4K has let me see…
Tropic Thunder (2008) – Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller directed the ultimate Hollywood satire with Tropic Thunder. He developed the story with Justin Theroux, and the pair wrote a script with Ethan Cohen. It’s sharp, pointed, and under its endlessly quotable dialogue and performances is a skewering look at Tinsel Town. Everything seems to be a lie, from promotions to images to…
