Flaming Brothers was not one of the major Hong Kong films that came over in the ‘90s. So it’s a new one to me I got to discover now that Eureka is releasing it on Blu-ray. As it fits into...
There was an 8K restoration of Tron screened at the Academy Museum. If the 4K looks like this I wish I could have seen double the K. Tron’s digital effects may seem primitive now but there is still something special...
31 years is way too long to go without a new Naked Gun movie, so thankfully this year’s reboot is now available on VOD. It’s full of bonus features with more laughs, including alternate takes and deleted jokes. The interviews...

The Accountant 2 proved The Accountant can be a franchise. By emphasizing the mismatched brothers, Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal join the ranks of 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and more. It’s also a rare L.A. movie so it’s...
When Poseidon came out in 2006, I interviewed the entire cast and director Wolfgang Petersen at the junket. There were high hopes for it. It was a then-modern retelling of The Poseidon Adventure with all the advantages visual effects could...
