Jurassic World Rebirth (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Those pesky humans are back at it again! Jurassic World Rebirth introduces a whole new set of characters out to disturb the peace and inadvertently become lunch. You’d think that after all these decades, they would learn their lesson. The pitch this time is that they need DNA samples from multiple creatures to help create a cure for heart disease. One from land (Mosasaurus), one from land (Titanosaurus), and one from the sky (Quetzalcoatlus). Once they get all three, they’ll unlock the Final Boss: the dreaded Distortus Rex, a grotesque hybrid reject that was apparently too hideous for public eyes. No helicopter is safe around this creature. All you need is a nice set of flares to distract this wobbly fool.

Directed by Judd Apatow in his feature debut, the film managed to be crude, outrageous, and yet unexpectedly sweet. Now, two decades later, it holds up not only as a cultural time capsule of mid-2000s comedy but also as the launchpad for careers and a film that helped redefine what an R-rated comedy could be.

The Accountant 2 (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Sometimes a sequel shows up years later and feels like a cheap cash-in. Other times, it picks up right where things left off and runs with it. The Accountant 2 does a bit of both—keeping the quiet intensity and precision gunfights from the first film, but also opening up Christian Wolff in ways that make him more relatable than ever. It’s bigger, faster, and a lot more personal, swapping some of the slow-burn mystery for heart, humor, and some genuinely touching moments.

Master and Commander – The Far Side of the World (4K UHD Steelbook Review)

When Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World hit theaters in 2002, it was something of a quiet giant. It didn’t explode at the box office in the way a $150 million film typically aims to, but those who saw it immediately recognized its depth, sophistication, and attention to detail. Peter Weir’s film was a critical darling, earning 10 Oscar nominations and winning two, including Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing. Still, it was often labeled “slow” by general audiences who were perhaps expecting something closer to Pirates of the Caribbean, which had launched around the same time. What they got instead was a meticulously crafted historical drama about leadership, loyalty, and life aboard a Royal Navy ship in the Napoleonic Wars.

The result is an intriguing, uneven, but ultimately worthwhile addition to Marvel’s ever-expanding world.

Small Soldiers (4K UHD Steelbook Review)

A Snapshot of 1998: The Year of Wild Ideas – The late ’90s were a strange and wonderful time for movies. It was the same summer that gave us ArmageddonThe Truman ShowSaving Private Ryan, and Rush Hour. The box office was saturated with big-budget spectacle, disaster epics, and high-concept comedies.

Though it received a mixed reception upon release, Small Soldiers has since carved out a niche as a cult favorite, especially among those who were kids during its original run.

Clueless, 30 years after its release, plays like a full-on ’90s nostalgia bomb. Irreverent, sweet, and deceptively smart, this comedy remains just as sharp and funny as ever. The cast is stacked with familiar faces—some we still see today, some we wish we saw more of, and maybe even one or two we wouldn’t mind seeing less. But at the center of it all is Alicia Silverstone, who skyrocketed from ingénue to movie star, playing Cher like a modern-day Emma Woodhouse from Jane Austen’s classic novel. She’s brighter than she lets on, and she’s got style—for herself and for everyone around her. As we stroll down memory lane, we’re revisiting one of the best comedies of the 1990s—a film that made critics swoon and ignited the box office in an era when an original teen comedy could still become a cultural event.
