Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is a family film that should please young and old fans of the original films. Directed and written by Jason Reitman, the movie strikes the right balance between nostalgia, thrills, and humor. Sony’s disc looks and sounds great.
Double Dragon is a train wreck, but it is also an incredibly entertaining relic from the Video Game adaptation boom of the Nineties. MVD Rewind has gone above and beyond to provide a definitive edition of the film.
The new presentation of the classic Richard Donner film The Goonies is a tremendous upgrade visually from all prior versions. Warner Bros. Have given the film a beautiful new 4K release.
Sonic the Hedgehog is a pleasant distraction to watch with the kids. The film is decidedly clean and innocent which puts it above most of the pack as far as family movies go. The Paramount UHD release looks and sounds great.
The Witches is a great adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl novel for children. Anjelica Huston lights up the screen in WB Archive’s new Blu-ray.
