Mars Attacks! is a singular comedic film experience. Boasting one of the best ensemble casts ever assembled , Tim Burton was allowed to gleefully kill almost all of them onscreen in hilarious ways. Warner’s 4K UHD is amazing.
“The Late Show” is an enjoyable offbeat private detective film from writer-director Robert Benton. The 1977 film has been given a release by Warner Archive.
Philip Roth considered Larry Peerce’s adaptation of “Goodbye, Columbus” to be the best adaptation of his work. Fun City Editions has done a great job of bringing it to Blu-ray.
“Honey Don’t!” is the second collaboration between Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke in their Lesbian B-movie trilogy. The film failed critically and commercially, but it still has its moments and strong turns from its cast.
“Detroit Rock City” is probably just a bit too juvenile to appeal to the masses, but fans of the picture will be excited to see that Sony has given their 2015 Blu-ray a re-release.
Warner Archive has given the 2005 romantic-comedy “Just Friends” a Blu-ray release. The film is much funnier than I remembered it being twenty years ago, with solid turns from Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, Chris Klein, and Amy Smart.
Steven Soderbergh’s 2009 film “The Informant!” tells the true story of F.B.I. informant Mark Whitacre, and the crimes he simultaneously hid from the F.B.I., with an eye towards the darkly comedic aspects of the story. Matt Damon and Scott Bakula shine. Warner’s 4K is a solid upgrade.
