Review: #OutOfThePast (4K)

"There is something really satisfying about watching a classic film noir like this receive this kind of treatment. It doesn’t need to be reinvented, it just needs to be presented properly."

Review: #ResidentEvil📷

"I could feel that survival-horror DNA. It feels like you’re watching someone work their way through a game, except you’re sitting in a theater watching it unfold rather than holding a controller."

"Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl is a movie I really wanted to enjoy, but unfortunately, the film itself left me with very little to get excited about."

"The 4K release gives a strong home-video presentation that complements the film’s gritty visual style rather than trying to clean it up or make it something it isn’t."

Review: #AuntieMame (4K)

"An absolute feast when it comes to production and costume design. Warner Archive utilized original color separations to help reconstruct the film’s original palette, and the results are spectacular."

Review: #MarsAttacks! (4K)

"Burton and cinematographer Peter Suschitzky created a very specific comic-book aesthetic for this movie, and the new HDR grade respects that look rather than trying to modernize it."

Review: #Hokum (4K)

"It’s creepy, emotionally resonant and refreshingly confident in its storytelling. McCarthy continues to prove that horror doesn’t need to rely on jump scares when atmosphere & strong filmmaking can accomplish much more."

Review: Mortal Kombat II (4K)

"It isn’t perfect, but once the tournament begins, the movie becomes the action spectacle I was hoping for. It’s bigger, bloodier, and far more confident than its predecessor."

Review: The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (4K)

"This remains as one of the great fantasy adventures ever put on film. While its visual effects are products of their time, they possess a handcrafted magic that’s impossible to replicate digitally."

Review: Anyone But You (4K)

"While the disc is an easy recommendation for fans of the movie, I personally see this as more of a one-night rental than a must-own addition to the collection."

Review: #Eraser (4K)

"What stands out is just how committed it is to being a crowd-pleasing blockbuster. Many of the action scenes remain exciting, and while CGI has aged, it all contributes to the film’s 90s charm."
