A Real Pain (Blu-ray Review)

I have a confession to make.  When I hear about actors making directorial debuts, sometimes I think to myself: “Again??” I often wonder if it’s the natural progression of actors to want to do something they’ve observed their directors doing for so long.  Maybe they’ve got gestating thoughts on what they’d do if they had the chance to run a show of their own.  Sometimes, my beleaguered response is worthwhile.  Other times, there are films coming from talented artists that do more than just act.  Now that my confession has been made, we can get to the meat and potatoes of this feast – A Real Pain! By the time Jesse Eisenberg’s film came to Hulu and physical media, it had already become a sensation in festivals and racked up tons of award nods for Kieran Culkin, winning a Golden Globe for him and the film respectively.  So how is it coming from an everyman movie fan perspective you ask? Find out and see if the film truly is A Real Pain.

Jackie Brown (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

2025 is kicking off with a lot of style on 4K UHD with the releases of Quentin Tarantino’s hyperviolent Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, along with his low-key crime film, Jackie Brown, the subject of this review. The 1997 Elmore Leonard adaptation was once seen as a comedown from a man who caused a major jolt in independent cinema following the arrival of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. However, over time, more and more have begun to see Tarantino’s neo-noir-ish blaxploitation tribute as one of his most mature and best features. Personally, Jackie Brown sits highest and is one of two or three films I currently state as my favorite of all time when asked. Certainly high marks for any movie to live up to, but it’s not without my own justification. Now presented with a new 4K restoration, many more can enjoy how the score goes down in Jackie Brown, with the film looking as good as possible. Booyah!

Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Following Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, a few more of the earlier Quentin Tarantino films have found their way to 4K UHD, and these releases have been served quite well. Here we have a look at Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2, which tell a rip-roaring rampage of revenge story too big for just one movie. Uma Thurman stars as the vengeful bride in what amounts to Tarantino’s version of a comic book movie – an epic mashup of inspirations drawn from 70s exploitation films, spaghetti westerns, and kung-fu flicks, among other sources. The results are two incredibly entertaining features, each with stylistic and character-related choices to establish them as singular entries while fitting together as a blood-soaked tale of a scorned woman who went after those responsible. These 4K releases offer nothing new in terms of special features, but the visual remastering, complete with HDR grading, is worth highlighting. Now it’s time to get into this A Band Apart production.
