ANIMAL [BLU-RAY]: (2014) "A hackneyed horror flick without originality, Animal seems as generic as its title. Whatever suspense it could muster fails to emerge due to its thin story and forgettable characters/situations." Starring Keke Palmer, Elizabeth Gillies. Shout! Factory, $19.97, 2/17/2015.
THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL [BLU-RAY]: (1978) "While I can't claim that The Boys From Brazil is a classic, it's definitely a compelling and entertaining ride. It's worth watching just to see some fun and physical performances from some great actors." Starring Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier. Shout! Factory, $24.97, 1/6/2015.
STARRY EYES [BLU-RAY]: (2014) "As an attempt to meld horror and satire, Starry Night falters. It lacks the humorous bite to dig into that side of the tale, and the terror elements feel forced and silly." Starring Alexandra Essoe, Amanda Fuller. Dark Sky, $29.98, 2/3/2015.
SCREAM 2: (1997) "As a sequel to a semi-spoof, Scream 2 encountered unusual challenges. It didn’t surmount all of these, but it worked well enough to provide a mostly entertaining flick." Starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette. Lionsgate, $19.98, 3/29/2011.
A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES [BLU-RAY]: (2014) "A Walk Among the Tombstones occasionally threatens to turn into an engaging thriller, but it suffers from too many clichés to prosper. Although a good lead performance from Liam Neeson helps, it comes with too many trite moments to succeed." Starring Liam Neeson, Dan Stevens. Universal, $34.98, 1/13/2015.
RONIN [BLU-RAY]: (1998) "Three times I’ve watched Ronin and three times I’ve wanted/expected to like it. Three times I’ve felt only moderately involved by it. The film includes many solid parts but they never coalesce to form a rich whole." Starring Robert De Niro, Jean Reno. MGM, $19.99, 2/24/2009.
THE JUDGE [BLU-RAY]: (2014) "With a strong cast and a meaty subject, The Judge boasts potential for greatness. However, it tends toward the sappy/sudsy side of the street, choices that leave it as a moderately entertaining courthouse drama but not a consistently satisfying one." Starring Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall. Warner, $35.99, 1/27/2015.
