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.

The King of Comedy–the fifth collaboration between filmmaker Martin Scorsese and actor Robert De Niro–marks its 40th anniversary. According to the film’s logline on Hulu, it “is a funny depiction of the dangers of celebrity fandom.” This is partially true because The King of Comedy is a film about the depiction of celebrity fandom but it’s definitely not funny. If it were funny, there would have been plenty of laughs over here but the laughs…
