Paramount is releasing Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on 4K Ultra HD two years after releasing a limited edition 35th anniversary SteelBook. John Hughes’s love letter to Chicago, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, celebrated its 375th anniversary almost two months ago since being released in theaters in 1986. “Life movies by pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller Thirty-seven years since the theatrical release,…

Rio Bravo gets the 4K Ultra HD upgrade after the film’s 4K restoration premiered earlier this year at the TCM Classic Film Festival. Working in partnership with The Film Foundation, Rio Bravo was restored and remastered by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services: Motion Picture Imaging and Post Production Sound. The Film Foundation, launched by Martin Scorsese in 1990, has restored more than 900 films. A small-town Texan sheriff, John T. Chance (John Wayne) arrests…

River Wild is an unnecessary reimagining of the 1994 thriller, The River Wild, starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, and David Strathairn. I have to admit that the idea of a new film did pique my curiosity. At the end of the day, it doesn’t do anything better that the first film already did. No offense to Adam Brody, Leighton Meeston, or Taran Killam but they are not Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, and David Strathairn. It’s…

Iron: The Legacy of Cal Ripken Jr. is a one-hour documentary that was made for the 20th anniversary of Ripken’s 2131st baseball game. After returning from The National Sports Collectors Convention over the weekend and relaxing, I decided to give this documentary a watch on the MLB app. I don’t know if I watched when it first premiered in 2015 but it was a nice way to wind down my night. If anything, it would…

Marvel Studios is showing signs of franchise fatigue as espionage thriller Secret Invasion concludes its uneven run on Disney+. The series didn’t do what its comic book counterpart did in changing up Marvel’s status quo. Instead, it killed off Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn). We barely even had time to mourn Hill’s passing before Fury and Talos figured out a plan. Perhaps most surprisingly, Secret Invasion does not even feature a tag…

Haunted Mansion is the newest film to adapt a Disney ride for the big screen but this comedy is too long and fails to deliver the laughs. After having so much fun watching Jungle Cruise in 2001, it pains me to see that the fun is missing in their newest attempt to bring a theme park attraction to the big screen. There’s no reason that this film needed to be over two hours long. Rather…

Sophie Kargman sat down with Solzy at the Movies shortly after the world premiere of Susie Searches last year during TIFF. The comic thriller is an expansion of the 2020 short film and a solid feature debut. There’s been a number of comedic whodunits in recent years including Knives Out, Glass Onion, The Afterparty, Only Murders in the Building, etc. At first glance, Susie Searches looks like a regular ol’ whodunit. But as we dive…

Adam McKay’s Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, marks the 15th anniversary since its theatrical release in 2008. When one looks at the Judd Apatow-produced films in the 00s, Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) are signature man-children. Both adult children are still living at home with their parents. Neither one of them enjoy the idea of becoming step brothers. There are times when they’re bonding over things…
