Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“Bringing Out the Dead” is a mesmerizing Martin Scorsese picture featuring great performances by Nicolas Cage, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore, and Patricia Arquette. The Paramount 4K is exceptional with a great transfer and Dolby Atmos audio alongside features by Reverend Entertainment.
“Pet Sematary: Bloodlines” is a prequel to Stephen King’s horror classic. Despite some good ideas, the film fails to generate tension or craft compelling characters. Paramount has given the film a good 4K UHD presentation.
“Terms of Endearment,” James L. Brooks’s tearjerker comedy which won five Academy Awards, has been given a 4K UHD upgrade by Paramount Pictures. Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson, and Debra Winger are wonderful in the film.
Paramount Pictures has given the 1997 thriller “Kiss the Girls” a 4K UHD release. Morgan Freeman stars as Dr. Alex Cross from James Patterson’s bestselling novels.
Paramount has given “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” a beautiful 4K UHD steelbook release. It stands as one of the best teen comedies ever made. The film has aged beautifully and deserves a place in your collection.
“The Truman Show” has been given a fantastic 4K UHD upgrade to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The film was a great success showcasing Jim Carrey’s dramatic talents and the beautiful scenery of Seaside, Florida.
“Top Gun: Maverick” gave theatrical audiences a reason to take a breath and eat some popcorn. It is a satisfying sequel and a loving tribute to Tony Scott. “Maverick” is our favorite film from 2022.
“Pulp Fiction” is considered by many to be Tarantino’s greatest film. It is certainly his most influential and one of the definitive films of the independent movement of the Nineties.
