Clint Eastwood 4K Steelbooks- WB chose to stick to Eastwood last year by making his best movie in a decade a limited release and then buried it on streaming. But this year they show him some love by releasing some of his classics on 4K and steelbooks. There is no need to go over these classics, I have bought them all multiple times in multiple formats and let me say: these are all gorgeous! It is the best they have ever looked and sounded, and they are loaded to the gills with special features. If you are an Eastwood fan order these now and enjoy. The word is he is working with WB on some other releases, so fingers crossed! The highest of recommendations.
Tombstone- A successful lawman's plans to retire anonymously in Tombstone, Arizona, are disrupted by the kind of outlaws he was famous for eliminating. There is another movie on the making of this movie that has not been made yet but hopefully it will get made one day soon. With all the behind-the-scenes drama this movie had no business of being so kick-ass and an instant Western classic right when it was released. The fantastic casts carries this move to great heights and it is very fitting that we get this after Val Kilmer left us as this may have been his best role as Doc Holiday. Again, the highest of recommendations.
Working Man- Levon Cade left his profession behind to work construction and be a good dad to his daughter. But when a local girl vanishes, he's asked to return to the skills that made him a mythic figure in the shadowy world of counter-terrorism. I love my some Statham! I missed this at the theater but I found this at Wallyworld last week so I did not have to rely on Mr. Amazon to bring me this. I am sure this is action packed and is co-written by one Sly Stallone so looking forward to spinning this soon.
Andora- A young stripper from Brooklyn meets and impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled. It won a bunch of Oscars, not that that means anything anymore, but I do like Sean Baker’s work and the Criterion sale is coming up soon.
Captain America: Brave New World- Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, finds himself in the middle of an international incident and must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan. Wow, what a mediocre movie. It’s not bad but it’s not good either. I expected more here hoping Marvel was getting their stuff together but you have to wait for Thunderbolts* for that.
Mickey 17- During a human expedition to colonize space, Mickey 17, a so-called "expendable" employee, is sent to explore an ice planet. An interesting looking flick until the trailer turned me off of it. Will check this out on Max sometime.
Drop Zone- A tough cop teams up with a professional skydiver to capture a renegade computer hacker on the run from the law. Snipes made some good action flicks back in the 90s before he went to jail and I remember this one fondly. Will have to reacquaint myself with this one sometime soon.
