Song to Song UHD Review
Told in a series of visual and auditory fits and starts, Terrence Malick’s Song to Song is arty, pretentious, unsatisfying, and ultimately pointless.

The Untouchables: The Scarface Mob DVD Review
The Scarface Mob may take some liberties with the real story for the sake of dramatic impact, but it’s an enjoyable feature length look at the origin of television’s The Untouchables and is recommended for fans who don’t already have these programs in their movie format.

The Sea Chase Blu-ray Review
The Sea Chase, one of two John Wayne films to be released on Blu-ray by the Warner Archive this month, is a strange one. For one thing, it is difficult to wrap one’s head around the idea of Wayne portraying a German (albeit an anti-Nazi German) captain of a freighter […]
Life UHD Review
Another malevolent alien does away with a spaceship full of crew in Daniel Espinosa’s Life, an effective if painfully derivative sci-fi horror picture released within weeks of Ridley Scott’s next Alien adventure.
Blow-Up Blu-ray Review
Director Michelangelo Antonioni takes a rather jaundiced look at the London swinging singles scene of the 1960s in Blow-Up, the director’s tenth film and a great international success critically and at the box-office, his first full length feature in the English language.

Snitch UHD Review
Less an action movie than a dramatic suspense picture with action elements, Snitch shows the continuing maturation of Dwayne Johnson as an actor and focuses on an element in the criminal justice system that may have been heretofore unknown.
