The Final Girls (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 1st, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDThe Final Girls is a total hoot, start to finish, beginning to end, and I admit to having watched it about four or five times since the Blu-ray arrived for review. It’s a genre-bending smash that gets better with each viewing, the film a glorious comedy-horror hodgepodge featuring stellar performances from Malin Akerman and Taissa Farmiga ranking as two of 2015’s finest.

Goodnight Mommy (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 1st, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDI was able to watch Goodnight Mommy again, and, truth be told, it’s very close to a masterpiece. Still difficult. Still tough. Still emotionally devastating on an emotionally primal level. But the filmmaking is just beyond reproach, while the last half hour is mesmerizing in the extreme. Not an easy sit, but a worthwhile one, and here’s my push urging anyone with an even slight inkling of interest to make the attempt to give the film a go.

No Escape (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 23rd, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDI don’t have a whole lot new to add. No Escape is incredibly well made, and is suitably thrilling for much of its running time. Yet it is also really difficult to watch at times, and I can’t help but feel a little xenophobic on some levels – which is maybe the point – for enjoying it as much as I did. Make of that what you will.

Passage to Marseille (1944) – Warner Archive
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 23rd, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDWho cares about Humphrey Bogart’s exceedingly odd casting as a French war hero? I certainly don’t, Passage to Marseille a wonderful old school patriotic WWII actioner with a unique overlapping flashback structure that’s beyond one-of-a-kind.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 17th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDIt’s quite possible The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is the single most underrated – and underappreciated – major studio tentpole that was released to theaters this past summer. It’s fantastic stuff, holding up beautifully on repeat viewing, just getting better and better each time I watch it.

Mr. Holmes (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 16th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDMr. Holmes holds up beautifully on repeat viewing. Additionally, it cements in my mind that both McKellan and Linney give two of 2015’s best performances, and even if Oscar (probably) won’t recognize them as such that doesn’t make what they accomplish here any less extraordinary.

Inside Out (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 9th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDInside Out is a masterpiece. It’s one of the 2015’s best films. It’s one of Pixar’s best films. What else is there that I need to say?

Toy Story That Time Forgot (2014)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 8th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVDMuch like Toy Story of Terror!, Disney/Pixar’s latest animate special Toy Story That Time Forgot is a heck of a lot of fun, made with much the same love and care each of the three highly acclaimed, Oscar-winning motion pictures were. For the right price, I’d definitely add this Blu-ray to my library, and I’m guessing kids will watch it over and over again no matter what the date on the calendar reads.
