A few words about...™ Gremlins 2 -- in Blu-ray

    Talk about two films that one would presume would fit into the original / sequel category.   Gremlins 2 does not.   Far more satirical in mood, and less toward the "horror" concept, G2 is an entertaining film that should please those looking to kill a couple of hours.  Plenty of "in" jokes, which probably makes a viewing of Gremlins essential.   The Blu-ray, from WB, looks just fine.  What appear to be original-ish grain levels, nice color, densities.  A quality package, and a decidedly fun film.   Image - 4   Audio - 4.5   Recommended.   RAH » read more

    A few words about...™ Smokey and the Bandit -- in Blu-ray

      Director Hal Needham came out of the stunt arena, and it shows in his Smokey and the Bandit.   Three and a half decades later, the film is still a hoot.   The Blu-ray, which appears to be the same transfer as the 2007 HD release, looks fine for what it is.   Great color, lush, virtually no grain, and slight haloes in their proper places.   It is what it is.   Low budget, fun, and an older transfer from Universal.   Image - 2   Audio - 4   Definitely okay.   RAH » read more

      The Woman in Black Blu-ray Review

      The Woman in Black is in many respects an old-fashioned gothic horror film, one which convincingly demonstrates that less can be more when it comes to evoking thrills and chills. The film is refreshing in its willingness to eschew gratuitous gore in favor of spooky atmosphere, ghostly apparitions, and things which go bump in the night. The film also is noteworthy because it provides evidence that there will be life after Harry Potter for actor Daniel Radcliffe. » read more

      John Carter 3D Blu-ray Review

        The most infamously unsuccessful movie at the box-office thus far in 2012 (though Battleship and Dark Shadows may give it some competition), Andrew Stanton’s John Carter mixes elements of science fiction, fantasy, and western lore into a moderately entertaining but strangely old-fashioned adventure tale. The storytelling is a bit muddled in places, and the film overall lacks enchantment despite tons of special effects and a dazzling array of talented actors doing their all to make the rather prosaic narrative achieve a spark of delight. Alas, despite everyone’s best efforts, the film works only fitfully despite the noblest of intentions from all concerned. » read more
