Candyman (2021): This was recommended here when I watched the original movie a few months ago. I got lucky and found the 4k disc at my used dvd store. It's obviously not as good as the original movie, but I really enjoyed it. Gore is fun, and we get plenty of it. There's even an exposition cartoon.
Matinee (1993): Like any normal human, I like Joe Dante movies. Especially the suburbia stuff. Following Red Letter Media videos on Dante's movies, I realised I hadn't seen Matinee in a while. So, to Amazon I went and ordered the 4k disc, because that's how I roll. Not my favorite Dante, but that's like saying I have a least favorite pizza, either way I get pizza. On RLM, they said the movie is too much about the kids, but I think they just wanted more Goodman, Picardo and Miller. Where's my 'Burbs 4k?
Suburbicon (2017): It was mentioned in a Blank Check episode because it's written by the Coens. I thought I hadn't seen it, but as the movie went on, I realised I did see it before. Clearly it left a mark. It's a weird movie, about a home invasion and how it affected Matt Damon and family, with a twist of course. There's also the B-story of a black family moving in the white neighborhood, mostly happening in the background, just as a things-were-not-good-back-then kinda story. It obviously all end in chaos and death. I didn't hate it, Clooney is a good director, but it was missing the Coen's flare, which showing in the writing.
AKA Charlie Sheen (2025): As Patrick said, it's mostly about his substance abuse and all the bad things he did. They kinda talk about his movies and tv shows, but just as a way to bring the dr*g use in the conversation. I zoned out for most of it. I'll give him this, he's very candid, doesn't shy away from difficult questions, though he seems to take it with kind of a 'it is what it is' attitude.
Mortal Kombat (1995): Much better than the 2021 reboot, or at least more fun. They didn't forget it was from a videogame, with all the craziness that comes with it. The special effects are a bit dated, like the fights with the 4-arms dude are less than convincing, but some of the puppetry shots are pretty good. Also, if anybody likes techno music, this is the soundtrack for you.
Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997): James Remar replace Christophe Lambert as Raiden, that's a win in my book. The movie is still not very good, but I like cheese, so I still find it more entertaining than the reboot.
The blu-ray 3-pack I got comes with the first season of Mortal Kombat Legacy, which was made in 2011. It was pretty cool, and at 10 minutes per episode, they go straight to the good stuff.
I'm Not There (2007): A much more interesting Bob Dylan biopic than what came out last year. I get it, the new one has a wider appeal, and I'm not shaming anybody for liking it. And it was shot in and around Montreal, which is always fun for me.
Happy Gilmore (1996): The sequel s*cked, I had to do something to scrub it from my brain. Cue the Kino 4k disc. I miss the old Sandler, when he just made funny movies with simple jokes, then something ridiculous would come up, like the guy in the background at the arena, mouthing the words to the love song playing over Sandler kissing Julie Bowen.
Hang on to your hats, I had a big movie week...
