I didn’t have big expectations going into this one, but I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Really good performances from Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening, and the whole movie just has a fun, easygoing feel to it. It’s based on a pretty crazy true story, but never feels overdone. Just a really well-made, enjoyable movie that ended up being much better than I expected. Definitely wo...

Shout can be hit or miss for me, but this one is definitely a hit. Wrath of Man is one of my favorite Jason Statham movies and probably one of my favorite Guy Ritchie movies too. The 4K transfer looks really good and the audio is strong, especially during the action scenes. The darker look of the movie comes across really well without losing too much detail. Statham and Ritchie just work togethe...

I wanted to like The Core more than I did, but overall I thought the movie was pretty forgettable. It has a fun disaster-movie idea, but the story and characters never really pulled me in. The 4K transfer is decent, but nothing that really impressed me. The audio was probably the highlight of the disc — some really good bass, surround activity and a few scenes that actually sound pretty big. Not...

I really like Kino and this is another solid release from them. Career Opportunities is one of those fun early 90s movies that’s easy to watch. Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly are great together and it still has that classic John Hughes feel. The 4K transfer looks really good with nice detail, natural grain and a big step up from older releases. Audio is solid too, but nothing that really stan...

Columbia Classics does phenomenal work, and Jerry Maguire is no different. I love this movie — Tom Cruise is great as a successful sports agent who blows up his career after deciding he wants to do business differently, and the mix of sports, comedy and romance still works really well. The 4K transfer is excellent, with a natural film look, great detail and really nice HDR without making a ’90s m...

I love Arrow’s work! I’m not a fan of some of their B-horror films — they’re just not really my thing — but when this came out, I was excited. This movie has always looked pretty rough — dark, grainy, and just not a great-looking film — but Arrow knocked it out of the park with what they had to work with. It still looks like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, just the best I’ve ever seen it look. The...

I love boutique labels, but Shout Factory can be hit or miss. This Pleasantville release is actually pretty decent. The movie still holds up, the picture looks good for a Blu-ray, and the audio is fine but nothing impressive. My biggest criticism is that some of the rules around characters turning color feel a little inconsistent — Paul Walker’s character being one example. Still, it’s an enjoya...
