Killing Somebody Is Hard Work | The Horror of Dolores Roach (2023) Amazon Prime Limited Series

The Horror of Dolores Roach (2023)

The scariest thing about The Horror of Dolores Roach may well be its Blumhouse production credit, the presence of which could easily frighten away viewers expecting (but not wanting) a Saw or Insidious type of schlock-fest. In fact, the Amazon Prime series is a very enjoyable, darkly comic thriller with a few thoughts about class… Read More Killing Somebody Is Hard Work | The Horror of Dolores Roach (2023) Amazon Prime Limited Series

You Call This Archaeology? | Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 4K Ultra HD

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade almost was, and in many fans’ estimation probably should have been, the last adventure for the iconic screen hero. After the disappointing (yet still extremely profitable) Temple of Doom, the film was a significant return to form and offered many unmistakable notes of closure to bring this blockbuster trilogy… Read More You Call This Archaeology? | Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 4K Ultra HD

Anything Goes | Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 4K Ultra HD

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Whether it be a case of selective memory or rose-colored glasses, I find it fairly amusing the way disgruntled Indiana Jones fans, when complaining about how much they dislike later entries in the series, tend to either forget that Temple of Doom happened or act like it was ever one of the good ones. The… Read More Anything Goes | Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 4K Ultra HD

Nothing But Vipers Beyond These Walls | Jack Ryan Season 4 Premiere (2023) on Amazon Prime

Jack Ryan Season 4 (2023)

After forcing fans to suffer an extended two-year wait between the show’s second and third seasons, Amazon Prime rushed a fourth (confirmed to be final) season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan into production for a streaming debut just six months since the last one ended. To balance out that gift, however, this will be the… Read More Nothing But Vipers Beyond These Walls | Jack Ryan Season 4 Premiere (2023) on Amazon Prime

It’s Not the Years, Honey | Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 4K Ultra HD

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

With the combined talents of George Lucas as producer and Steven Spielberg directing, I don’t think anyone ever doubted that Raiders of the Lost Ark would be another big smash. Between Jaws and Star Wars, the two men had each only recently held the title for the highest-grossing movie of all time, back-to-back, Spielberg handing… Read More It’s Not the Years, Honey | Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 4K Ultra HD

Ain’t You Got No Shame? | Showgirls (1995) Vinegar Syndrome 4K Ultra HD

Showgirls (1995)

An infamous box office bomb and target of critical ridicule, winner of both Worst Picture at the 1996 Razzie Awards and later Worst Picture of the Decade in 2000, Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls was, for many years, a movie that few people liked, and fewer still would actually admit to liking. Over the ensuing decades, the… Read More Ain’t You Got No Shame? | Showgirls (1995) Vinegar Syndrome 4K Ultra HD

That Was Radical! | Bumblebee (2018) 4K Ultra HD

Bumblebee (2018)

The first live-action Transformers movie directed by someone other than Michael Bay is, not coincidentally, the first live-action Transformers movie that’s any good. Because we live in an unjust world, 2018’s Bumblebee was also the lowest-grossing Transformers film up to that point by some considerable margin. As someone who grew up in the 1980s with… Read More That Was Radical! | Bumblebee (2018) 4K Ultra HD

Notably, the show also marks the second attempt this year to adapt Schwarzenegger’s 1994 blockbuster True Lies into a television format.

This Doesn’t Feel Right | Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) 4K Ultra HD

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

I distinctly remember seeing Star Trek: Nemesis during its opening weekend in a mostly empty theater auditorium. That experience was all too common for those few other fans who likewise made the effort. The film remains, to date, the lowest grossing Star Trek movie and the only one to lose money at the box office.… Read More This Doesn’t Feel Right | Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) 4K Ultra HD

Androids Do Not Have Fun | Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) 4K Ultra HD

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)

You’d think that by its ninth feature film, the Star Trek franchise might have found some sense of consistency or had a clue how to build off the success of its biggest box office hit at the time (1996’s quite good Star Trek: First Contact). Sadly, that wasn’t at all the case. The next big-screen… Read More Androids Do Not Have Fun | Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) 4K Ultra HD
