Not even the star-studded cast has the talent to save Hudson Hawk from being a really terrible action-adventure comedy. What piqued my interest in the film was both its cast and the synopsis listed on the Blu-ray. When you say a film is the best action-adventure comedy ever, it is going to draw my interest. Maybe I should have checked out the Wikipedia page first or even the awards page on IMDb because sheesh, this…

Fancy Pants is newly available on Blu-ray after being remastered in HD from a 4K scan of the original YCM Three-Color Technicolor Elements. After feeling let down by Sorrowful Jones, I decided to make Monday night a Bob Hope/Lucille Ball double feature. Hope and Ball team up in this Western and it’s very hysterical. It’s not just that the comedy is way better in this movie but we see the duo at their full comic…
"Fancy Pants Reteams Bob Hope, Lucille Ball"
Sorrowful Jones, which sees Bob Hope and Lucille Ball team up for the first time, is now available on Blu-ray with a new 2K master. The film is adapted from a story by Damon Runyon and a remake of the 1934 film, Little Miss Marker, starring Shirley Temple. If people think remakes are such a problem today, it was barely over 15 years since the earlier film was released. Moreover, the earlier film is what…

Delegation focuses on a trio of high school friends during a class trip to visit historic Shoah sites in Poland prior to joining the IDF. In America, Jewish high schoolers often get the chance to participate in the March of the Living. If I recall correctly, it’s a trip that sees students spending a week visiting Shoah sites in Europe before spending a few days in Israel. Things aren’t much different in Israel except their…

After its theatrical and earlier digital release, Paramount Home Entertainment released Devotion on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD. My original review of one of the best movies of 2022: Devotion brings the Adam Makos book to the big screen in this inspiring true story about Navy fighter pilots Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner. The climax of the film focuses on the most brutal battle during a war that most people tend to look over these…

Following its theatrical and digital releases, Empire of Light is now available for audiences to bring home on Blu-ray and DVD. My review ran shortly after the Canadian premiere during TIFF. There’s no denying that the film is the cinematography from Roger Deakins is beautiful. This is one of a number of films about the power of cinema in 2022. As for the rest of the film, not everyone will agree. To each their own.…

Mystery Men is about a year and a half away from marking its 25th anniversary but Kino Lorber recently released the film on 4K UHD. It’s kind of weird. This is the sort of film that I probably would have seen when it came out in the late 1990s. After all, I am a Ben Stiller fan. As to why I did not watch this box office flop in 1999, your guess is as good…
