Of all the films Warner Archive could bring to Blu-ray, they chose to give The Ice Pirates – yes, The Ice Pirates – a loving hi-def upgrade. Thankfully, they’ve done their typically wonderful job, picture and audio absolutely top-notch, so fans of this unabashedly silly, visually rambunctious sci-fi comedy will undoubtedly be pleased as far as that goes. Everyone else? Well, everyone else will likely wonder why all the fuss and bother – that’s if they even care to watch the movie in the first place.

Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies holds up remarkably well on subsequent viewing, both Mark Rylance (who is nominated for an Oscar) and Tom Hanks turning in virtuoso performances as the two men central to all the Cold War antics that transpire.

For viewers in the right frame of mind, The Car is a heck of a lot of fun, and I for one can completely understand why it’s developed such a passionate cult following ever since its initial 1977 theatrical release.

The New Girlfriend might not showcase [François Ozon] at his best, but it does feature him continuing to try and tell stories many of his contemporaries would shy away from, this film finally ending up as a courageous saga of friendship, acceptance and identity I was happily captivated by.

[What] is here is enjoyable if taken on its own terms, much of Jane Got a Gun playing out with a 1940s or ‘50s Hollywood élan I found more than satisfying. The movie is a Western made for Western fans, and I have no problem with that whatsoever.

Kansas City Confidential is a seriously great motion picture totally deserving of its status as a noir classic, standing the test of time in ways few similar efforts have.

[The] stuff that does work in The Finest Hours is so solid, so deliciously crafted, so splendidly acted this obvious climactic misstep isn’t near as disastrous as it could have been, the film itself still a rousing tale of sacrifice, ingenuity and heroism I couldn’t help but enjoy.

Kung Fu Panda 3 concludes on a definite high note, filled with eye-popping animated set pieces as well as thrilling story beats that I was perfectly entertained by. If it is the end of the road for this particular hero, he certainly goes out a winner. In other words, this sequel is a total Skadoosh! and there’s not a heck of a lot more to add.
