Aliens Are Nothing to Worry About | The Green Veil (2024) Series Premiere on The Network

The Green Veil (2024) - John Leguizamo as Gordon Rogers

As the first original series for the launch of a new free streaming platform with the nondescript name of The Network (or possibly just Network, judging by the company logo) that seemed to come from out of nowhere this week, you could say that The Green Veil has flown under the radar. Amusingly, flying under… Read More Aliens Are Nothing to Worry About | The Green Veil (2024) Series Premiere on The Network

Are We Talkin’ Little Space Friends Here? | The Abyss (1989) 4K Ultra HD

The Abyss (1989) - Ed Harris as Bud Brigman

Discounting his debut on the schlocky Piranha II: The Spawning, which the filmmaker himself leaves off his résumé, 1989’s The Abyss remains the only box office failure James Cameron has directed to date. Since emerging with The Terminator in 1984, Cameron has helmed one blockbuster hit after another, including two (Titanic and Avatar) that respectively… Read More Are We Talkin’ Little Space Friends Here? | The Abyss (1989) 4K Ultra HD

Cut the Snyder Release | Rebel Moon: Part Two (2024) on Netflix

Rebel Moon: Part Two (2024) - Sofia Boutella

Released at the end of 2023, Zack Snyder’s would-be sci-fi epic Rebel Moon: Part One turned out to be such a non-event that I half-expected Netflix to quietly scuttle the sequel without making a fuss or drawing attention to it. Honestly, would anyone have even noticed if it simply never showed up when originally announced?… Read More Cut the Snyder Release | Rebel Moon: Part Two (2024) on Netflix

Don’t Lose Your Head | Fallout Season 1 (2024) on Amazon Prime Video

Fallout (2024) - Aaron Moten & Ella Purnell

Considering how extensively the popular Fallout video game series satirizes American consumerist and media cultures, the fact that its inevitable live-action television adaptation would be produced by retail giant Amazon for distribution on its streaming service seems both fitting and more than a touch ironic. That the first season of the show would actually turn… Read More Don’t Lose Your Head | Fallout Season 1 (2024) on Amazon Prime Video

You Do Not Have Time to Tango | True Lies (1994) 4K Ultra HD

True Lies (1994) - Jamie Lee Curtis & Arnold Schwarzenegger

James Cameron’s 1994 action blockbuster True Lies had been neglected for so long during the home video era that most fans gave up hope for a decent release of it years ago. Remarkably, after literal decades of unfulfilled rumors, what seemed impossible finally happened. Cameron’s production company Lightstorm Entertainment (via its current corporate distributor, Disney)… Read More You Do Not Have Time to Tango | True Lies (1994) 4K Ultra HD

People Seem a Little Aggressive Around Here | Road House (2024) on Amazon Prime Video

Road House (2024) - Jake Gyllenhaal

I can’t say I recall ever hearing anyone beg for a remake of Road House. The original 1989 film is both a product of the time it was made that can’t easily translate to the current day, and is still pretty much perfect for what it set out to be. The movie didn’t need a… Read More People Seem a Little Aggressive Around Here | Road House (2024) on Amazon Prime Video

I Thought You’d Be Bigger | Road House (1989) Vinegar Syndrome 4K Ultra HD

Road House (1989) - Patrick Swayze & Sam Elliott

For a cult film with such an exalted reputation, Road House winds up being surprisingly modest in scope or ambition when you watch it play out. As a young boy who hit his teenage years in the late 1980s, I’d of course seen the movie before, and more than once, but my last viewing was… Read More I Thought You’d Be Bigger | Road House (1989) Vinegar Syndrome 4K Ultra HD
