Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“The Last Boy Scout” is one of the most enjoyable buddy cop films of the Nineties. Tony Scott’s beautifully shot action film has received a wonderful 4K release by Arrow Video that easily earns our highest recommendation. They simply do not make them like this anymore.
MVD has risen to the occasion again with an excellent 4K release of “Death Warrant” starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Like their release of “Lionheart,” the film has never looked better!
“Double Impact” is one of Van Damme’s most enjoyable films. MVD Rewind Collection has updated their 2019 release for 4K UHD, resulting in the definitive way to experience the picture. Highly recommended!
“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” is an entertaining and unhinged science fiction adventure that leans heavily into dark satire of our very strange times.
“One Battle After Another” is a triumph that meets the precarious political climate of our times head on while delivering an exceptional action experience. Warner’s 4K delivers exceptional video and audio.
Arrow Video has started 2026 out with a bang. “Under Siege,” starring Steven Seagal, has been given a true facelift that will make fans (like myself) want to leap for joy. Andrew Davis’s classic action film has received the royal treatment.
“Jurassic World: Rebirth” is the best entry in the series since “Jurassic Park.” While not perfect, there is a lot to like about the Gareth Edwards directed and David Koepp written film.
“Black Belt Jones” pairs Jim Kelly with director Robert Crouse just one year after “Enter the Dragon.” Sadly, “Black Belt Jones” is not nearly as good as that picture. Regardless, Warner Archive has done a tremendous job on their new restoration.
