Jason Statham, aka Mr. January, is back with another action thriller, Shelter. If there was ever any question… The King of January is Jason Statham. He’s back to reclaim (as if he ever needed to reclaim it) his crown and kingdom with his newest film, Shelter. The action thriller directed by Ric Roman Waugh is another in the series of the SCU (that’s the Statham Cinematic Universe for those not in the know), where an endless supply of rogue government adjacent entities mess with the wrong lone wolf ex-special ops badass, and said lone wolf ex-special ops badass takes everything down.

There is murder afoot at a secluded island resort, and Hercule Poirot is on the case in Evil Under the Sun. New to 4K UHD from Kino Lorber. The Films Murder Mysteries are my cinematic catnip. Since seeing Clue as a kid, the concept of solving a crime has been an intriguing one.  Though I love the genre and one of its greatest heroes, Hercule Poirot, 

There’s a murder in a small town, and Miss Marple is on the case in the adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d. New to 4K UHD from Kino Lorber. The Films In 1980, Director Guy Hamilton took on his first Agatha Christie adaptation with (his second being Evil Under the Sun), The Mirror Crack’d.  Though unlike Hamilton’s other Christie adaptation this one has Miss Marple as its central protagonist.  

Samuel L Jackson is tired of these Snakes on the Plane!!! The Cult Action Horror Comedy gets a new 4K UHD from Arrow Video. The Films You had to be there. That is often what I think about films like Snakes on a Plane. The zeitgeist-y type of film that many just shrug at now. One that people have seen countless times on TBS or TNT (Bill Simmons devotes an entire podcast to them … The Rewatchables).

Logan is back to wrap up 2025 with a Top Five in Film.   For a few years now, I’ve been avoiding compiling a Top 10-type of list and instead just written about all of the films I watched in that given year. Primarily, that’s been because I haven’t watched more than about fifteen films in a year in a very long time.

The stylish French thriller Diva makes its way to 4K UHD thanks to Kino Lorber.  They have filled the disc with a new 4K Restoration and wonderful special features.   The Films Jean-Jacques Beineix’s Diva is as cool as cinema gets. It’s also highly complicated and full of itself and knows just how good it is. Basically, one of the most French pieces of Cinema you’ll ever see.

The Deadites come to terrorize a family in Evil Dead Rise. Arrow Video gives us a full-blown 4K UHD special edition. The Films I’m always in the bag for an Evil Dead film. I don’t think it’s a hot take to say there hasn’t been a single bad Evil Dead film. That’s not even a mild take. I think the hot take may be, in my humble estimation, the…

The long out-of-print Rock ‘n Roll Girls Rebelling classic Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains comes to 4K UHD thanks to Fun City Editions, loaded with special features and a new 4K Restoration!  The Films Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains isn’t just the best rock movie you’ve ever seen, it’s possibly one of the best rock movies, period, end of discussion.

Tommy Lee Jones takes over a Battleship in the Andrew Davis-directed Die Hard riff Under Siege. The all-new Arrow Video 4K UHD comes armed with an all-new restoration and special features. The Film Die Hard ripoff films are only as good as their villains. The stories are always the same basic setup or premise. A yadda-yadda-yadda wants to take over a specific location for some cash grab but is thwarted by some sort of skilled man of war.

The Robert Altman High School Cult Comedy O.C. and Stiggs makes its Blu-ray debut thanks to Radiance Films.   The Film There really wasn’t a genre that Robert Altman didn’t touch. Including the 80’s High School Comedy made so famous by John Hughes. Unlike Hughes, Altman’s film was so radically punk rock and by that definition anti-authoritarian that it went sight unseen (for the most part) during the 80s.

Turtle Power!!! The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy comes to 4K UHD in a beautiful new box set from Arrow Video. The Film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Is it sacrilege to say that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is quite possibly one of the best comic book adaptations of all time? The Steve Barron-directed action-adventure is as smart an adaptation of a comic book because it both respects the multiple source materials (the blockbuster indie comic created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird and the very different animated series) while carving out its own original story.

The Ninja Trilogy - the action series that brought the shadow assassins to the 1980s has been given 4K UHD upgrades thanks to Kino Lorber! The Film Enter the Ninja The exact moment when Cannon Films became CANNON FILMS and the 1980s started to gain its identity. The film that everyone, of a certain age, either remembers with fondness or disdain.

Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver star in the delightfully deranged Dust Bunny, the feature film debut from writer/director Bryan Fuller. Writer/director Bryan Fuller has made big swing television. Wonderfalls. Pushing Daisies. Hannibal. It should surprise no one familiar with his unique vision that his debut feature film Dust Bunny, is as big a swing as anything he did on television.

Alan Delon plays an industrialist whose dark past comes to haunt his drug addicted son, who is on trial for the murder of a police officer in Boomerang.  New to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.  The Film Boomerang's theme is one of the oldest. You may be through with the past, but the past isn’t through with you…

A family is torn apart in the Anniversary, the new thriller starring Diane Lane and Madeline Brewer. It should be said upfront, Anniversary, the new film from Polish Filmmaker Jan Komasa, is not for everyone. Komasa has made a film that slowly turns the noose around the shiny veneer of upper-middle-class existence and freedom until it’s left gasping for its final breaths.

The thrilling WW2 shark horror film Beast of War available on Digital thanks to Well Go USA!   Beast of War is the kind of B-Movie horror action film that’s clever, gory, and scary in all the right ways in a lean and mean 87-minute package.  Writer/Director Kiah Roache-Turner takes his talents from zombies (the Wyrmwood series) to killer spiders (

The Jim Carrey smash hit VFX Comedy The Mask comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video.   The Film Of the three films that Jim Carrey starred in during his historic run in 1994, The Mask is not only the best of the three but also holds up to the test of time. The timeless quality gives the thirty-year-old film a still fresh quality.

Dan Curtis’ Classic Monsters brings the Director/Writer/Producer’s adaptations of three classic monsters restored to Blu-ray, thanks to Kino Lorber. The Film Dracula It’s always interesting how someone chooses to adapt Bram Stoker’s often-told horror classic. Though the structure remains the same, you often find the nuances within that structure change significantly, giving you a varied result. Dan Curtis’s Dracula adaptation has interesting changes but allows for a truly wickedly fun performance by the vampy Jack Palance as the Count.

Marcus Nispel’s 2003 remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video. The Film When I approach viewing any horror remake, I consider this: why remake it? After Gus Van Sant’s “Psycho” thing, I’ve had to ask myself this question, and especially half a decade later, when they decided to remake arguably one of the seminal horror films of the 1970s.
