Once Upon a Time: The Complete Fourth Season (2014-2015)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 19th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

Fans won’t care, and Frozen fanatics are almost certain to disagree, but gosh darn it if I didn’t feel like Season 4 of Once Upon a Time is running in rather obnoxious and tiresome circles while it’s dealing with the Elsa/Anna storyline. Same time, there’s still a lot of quality stuff going on here, and the writing involving both Regina and Emma is, more often than not, wonderful.

Person of Interest: The Complete Fourth Season (2014-2015)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 19th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

Overall, though, this is a wonderful season, and other than a couple of throwaway episodes that don’t add up to very much by and large this is a pretty solid narrative that grows in intensity and power as things progress…Person of Interest is on solid footing, make no mistake, and I can’t see fans of the show turning their backs on this program anytime soon.

Ejecta (2015)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 18th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

The only reason I watched Ejecta for a second time was because Scream! Factory made the decision to release the film on Blu-ray. I admit I didn’t loathe the film near as much this time around as I did that initial viewing, not that this should be viewed as some sort of massive reversal in opinion.

The Salvation (2015)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 17th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

The Salvation (2015) doesn’t do anything new, it just does what it wants to do very, very well, director Kristian Levring crafting a beautifully austere Western that builds to a suitably bullet-riddled conclusion overflowing in emotion. Fans of the genre owe it to themselves to lasso up this Blu-ray and give it a look as soon as they can.

Innerspace (1987)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 4th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

But, in the end, it’s the way Dante keeps absolute control of all that’s happening that is most wondrous. So many tangents going at once, so many balls in the air, yet Innerspace rarely falters, never take a misstep, everything building to a rollicking, humorously joyous conclusion that’s as winning now as it ever was way back in 1987.

Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991) – Warner Archive

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 4th, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

Showdown in Little Tokyo might not be any good, but that doesn’t make it a disaster, and while I’m still scratching my head wondering why Warner Archive bothered with this one for fans of the stars giving the Blu-ray a look isn’t remotely a bad idea.

Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead (2014) (Blu-ray)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 3rd, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

Wyrmwood is a hoot. It’s also remarkably easy to re-watch. I had a blast revisiting this one, and I imagine genre fans who lap this sort of stuff up greedily will likely end up feeling much the same. Simply terrific.

Ghost Town (1988)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 3rd, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

I’m not sure I’d tell anyone to pay full price for this Scream! Factory release, the lack of extras are definite downer. But the moment Ghost Town went on sale I’d snatch directors Mac Ahlberg and Richard Governor’s underrated little 1988 gem up as fast as I could, this horror/western hybrid far more entertaining than it arguably has any right to be.

Kill Me Three Times (2015)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 3rd, 2015 - Blu-ray and DVD

Nope. Still don’t like it. Pegg’s terrific, and Stenders does stage a couple of amusing grotesque sequences of bleak black comedy that did get me to giggle a tiny bit, but overall this film is just too flatly unappealing and boringly obvious in its machinations to be worth much in the way of a viewer’s time.
