            <description><![CDATA[It&amp;rsquo;s been a bit since we last saw a really good creature feature horror film that wasn&amp;rsquo;t played to comedic leanings, a cheap mockbuster, or completely missed its potential. As an example, I enjoyed the hell out of Cocaine Bear, but that was because it was more funny and gory than actually scary. I thought the concept for 2025&#039;s Anaconda&amp;nbsp;was a perfect setup, but y&#039;know, it helps when your giant snake movie actually has a giant snake for longer than the last 20 minites. Before this year, I couldn&amp;rsquo;t recall the last man-vs-nature creature feature horror picture that plastered me&#8230;]]></description>

            <link>https://bluray.highdefdigest.com/151996/girlstown.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Girls Town is a fun, albeit serious, look at four young high school seniors who, after a classmate&amp;rsquo;s death, try to navigate life, their future, and the patriarchal forces that stand in their way. After their close friend Nikki&amp;rsquo;s (Aunjanue Ellis Taylor) suicide, three girls, Emma (Anna Grace), Angela (Bruklin Harris), and Patti (Lili Taylor), discover her diary where she admits her cause for suicide.
Girls Town is a superb 90&amp;rsquo;s indie movie and feels incredibly similar to Hal Hartley movies in the best way possible, but substitute Brooklyn for Long Island. The film follows a group of 4 friends&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Greenland caught me off guard when I saw it some years back. I saw the ads and, like so many other folks, tuned it out as yet another disaster movie. It became background noise. I saw a positive review from a writer I admire, and the gist of it was, &quot;I know it looks derivative, but it&#039;s got some real heart to it.&quot; And then someone else I knew said they liked it, followed by someone else, and so on and so on. Eventually, I saw it, and I liked it quite a bit. There was an emotional rawness to&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I Met Him in Paris&amp;nbsp;really should have been titled&amp;nbsp;&quot;I Met THEM in Paris,&quot;&amp;nbsp;because this mid-1930s screwball romcom begins with its heroine meeting&amp;nbsp;two&amp;nbsp;men in a Paris bar, both of whom are instantly smitten. Both guys then spend the rest of the movie relentlessly pursuing her in their respective, inimitable ways. And while Paris does play a part in the film, it&#039;s a small one. The bulk of the zany action transpires in Switzerland, and it&#039;s out on the slopes, on the ice rink, and in bobsleds and horse-drawn sleighs, where some of the funniest scenes of this underrated romp take place.&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Honest talk up front...Truth is, I was prepared to punch in this review about two weeks ago. I&amp;rsquo;d written a longer, more detailed season-focused review and appreciation of this series created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, but a random technical disaster struck my cloud storage. But something happened where I lost (at a guess) about 30% of my stored review drafts, including roughly 15 gigs of full-scale Blu-ray and 4K images. One day, all of that material was there; the next day, it was just gone. The folders are still there, but the images and documents? Poof,&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Clark Gable winningly played charming rascals for most of his 30-year career, and one of the characters that best represents that signature persona is &quot;Candy&quot; Johnson, a cocky, cynical con man who woos the lovely Lana Turner in a one-horse Nevada town in&amp;nbsp;Honky Tonk. A somewhat schizophrenic film that unevenly blends comedy, drama, and romance, this high-spirited western was MGM&#039;s top moneymaker in 1941 and the year&#039;s second highest grossing movie behind Warner Bros&#039;&amp;nbsp;Sergeant York.
You&#039;d think all that dough would ensure&amp;nbsp;Honky Tonk&#039;s legacy, but director Jack Conway&#039;s film fell by wayside over the ensuing decades, largely because it can&#039;t&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[One strategy Hollywood employed to fend off the encroaching threat of television before the advent of CinemaScope was to hit the road. Traveling across the globe to shoot a movie instead of recreating locations on a studio soundstage or backlot often resulted in a box office bump, as the allure of exotic locales enticed viewers back into theaters. Africa was a popular destination because it was largely unexplored by average Americans and afforded audiences the opportunity to see wildlife in its natural habitat instead of behind bars in a zoo.&amp;nbsp;The African Queen&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;King Solomon&#039;s Mines&amp;nbsp;turned lucrative profits by transporting audiences to&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In the year 3000, or somewhere thereabouts, some time after a devastating nuclear war, the world has been rebuilt in the same fashion that every other post-apocalyptic movie from the 80s is, replete with silly costumes and women with big hair. This time, though, women (called &quot;Fraus&quot;) have inherited the desolated landscape, and they rule with an iron fist. Men (called &quot;Plugots&quot;) are enslaved and treated as mere sexual objects. As the movie begins, two Plugots, Krovis (Chuck Wagner) and Gruss (William Wallace, who also narrates), escape during a riot and flee to a city that had been irradiated during&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Though they&#039;re both called The Verdict, the 1946 film noir mystery and 1982 courtroom drama that netted Paul Newman a Best Actor Oscar nomination have only their title in common. The 1982&amp;nbsp;Verdict&amp;nbsp;is by far the better known movie, but that doesn&#039;t mean we should dismiss its very distant 1946 cousin as a cinematic footnote. Not by a long shot. The 1946&amp;nbsp;Verdict&amp;nbsp;stands on its own as a riveting whodunit that&#039;s distinguished by an airtight plot, colorful characters, plenty of suspense, and atmosphere galore. You may never have heard of it, but once you see it, you&#039;ll understand why it enjoys such&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As a rule, sequels don&#039;t measure up to the film or films they follow. They almost never top them (The Godfather, Part II&amp;nbsp;is a notable exception), and it&#039;s just as unusual to find a sequel that&#039;s exactly the same as its preceding movie - no better, no worse, and at times a virtual doppelg&amp;auml;nger. By the Light of the Silvery Moon&amp;nbsp;is that rare bird.
A charming, lightweight, down-home musical in the same vein as the incomparable&amp;nbsp;Meet Me in St. Louis, this Doris Day-Gordon MacRae vehicle was produced hot on the heels of their enormously successful musical&amp;nbsp;On Moonlight Bay, and features&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I love it when a book, film, or television series lives up to an elevator pitch. That quick, one sentence that a friend or someone whose opinion you trust sells you on an idea, and you then spend hours enjoying yourself. For me to get into Resident Alien, all it took was a friend bluntly stating, &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s like Northern Exposure, but if the new doctor was actually an Alien played by Alan Tudyk.&amp;rdquo; Sold. I knew of the Dark Horse comic series, but I hadn&amp;rsquo;t read it. So at roughly the same time as I was diving into Episode One&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[1939 produced more high-quality films per capita than any other year in Hollywood history, and one of them is&amp;nbsp;On Borrowed Time. Never heard of it? Well, that&#039;s probably because this touching spiritual tale has been overshadowed for decades by the likes of&amp;nbsp;Gone with the Wind,&amp;nbsp;The Wizard of Oz,&amp;nbsp;Stagecoach,&amp;nbsp;Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,&amp;nbsp;Wuthering Heights,&amp;nbsp;Of Mice and Men,&amp;nbsp;The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Women,&amp;nbsp;Ninotchka,&amp;nbsp;Gunga Din,&amp;nbsp;Dark Victory,&amp;nbsp;Goodbye, Mr. Chips,&amp;nbsp;Midnight,&amp;nbsp;Destry Rides Again,&amp;nbsp;Young Mr. Lincoln,&amp;nbsp;Beau Geste, and&amp;nbsp;Only Angels Have Wings, to name just a few. Yet despite a low budget, little fanfare, and no huge stars to carry it,&amp;nbsp;On Borrowed Time&amp;nbsp;deserves to be mentioned in&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I love big, dumb action movies. To be fair, I enjoy a LOT of different genres and styles of film, but over-the-top action films will always have a special place in my heart. There are, of course, good ones, but I have a special affinity for the Big Swings. Weird vanity or passion projects that have more chutzpah than professional polish. The Killing Tide isn&#039;t quite one of those, but it certainly scratches the itch for me.
Writer/Director David Dubay began his film career in advertising, working for a company responsible for I Spit on Your Grave (1978) and The&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[You know you&#039;re in trouble when the narrator of the film tells you that you should like the main character, because nothing else, anywhere, indicates that you should, and the movie must remind us at every turn that she&#039;s terrific. Ella McCay (Emma Mackey), the title character, is, in theory, a force for good. She wants to change the world and make it better. She&#039;s a dreamer. She&#039;s a wide-eyed optimist. And she doesn&#039;t care if that ruffles some feathers, because change isn&#039;t easy. In actual practice, she&#039;s a sanctimonious windbag who isn&#039;t shy about going on and on and&#8230;]]></description>

As luck, or fate, or whatever cosmic force would have it, Gabriel (Keanu Reeves), is a guardian angel who&amp;rsquo;s looking for just that. In an odd way, the human and the angel seem to be kindred souls, looking for each other&amp;rsquo;s wisdom and unique insight into the world, even if it doesn&amp;rsquo;t come easily to either of them. Arj is struggling&amp;hellip; with everything. Financially, romantically, you name it, he&amp;rsquo;s struggling. He&amp;rsquo;s living out of his car as he works a number of jobs and gigs that don&amp;rsquo;t pay&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Is the third time the charm? Zaza, a fairly typical tale of passion and betrayal set in France during the Belle &amp;Eacute;poque period, had already been filmed twice by the time director George Cukor undertook the project in 1938. The first screen treatment dated back to 1915 and starred Pauline Frederick as the rough-around-the-edges, devil-may-care music hall performer who falls in love with a sophisticated diplomat. Eight years later in 1923, Gloria Swanson put her exotic spin on the role opposite H.B. Warner, who would notably play Jesus Christ four years later in the first and best version of King&#8230;]]></description>

In the film&#039;s opening scenes, during an undercover sting on a smuggling ring, Judy and Nick accumulate a large amount of damage in typical buddy-cop fashion, which ruffles the feathers (not literal in this case) of the chief, who threatens to split them up if they can&#039;t get their act together. But Judy is onto something, as she discovers a shedded snake skin in the crashed&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I&amp;rsquo;m not one to bail on a show unless it gets really bad. If I&amp;rsquo;m enjoying something, I like to see it through to the end. Even if I&#039;m not fully enjoying it, I have a compulsory need to see how it ends. I&#039;m someone who collected and read the entire interminable Spider-Man Clone Saga because I had to see where it went (spoiler alert,&amp;nbsp; it ultimately went nowhere). While there&amp;rsquo;s a sense of accomplishment in doing that, it&amp;rsquo;s mostly because if you spend enough time with a set of characters, you want to find out what happens to them.&#8230;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[After the blockbuster success of&amp;nbsp;Singin&#039; in the Rain, MGM wisely sought to showcase the movie&#039;s two talented juveniles, 27-year-old Donald O&#039;Connor and 20-year-old Debbie Reynolds, in a vehicle of their own. The studio rushed the pair into a low-budget, second-tier musical called&amp;nbsp;I Love Melvin&amp;nbsp;that surprised everyone by occasionally scaling A-level heights. A sprightly score, the stars&#039; charisma and chemistry, and a soup&amp;ccedil;on of MGM gloss elevate this B-movie and make the silly story easier to swallow.

            <description><![CDATA[If there&amp;rsquo;s one thing I don&amp;rsquo;t tend to like about elaborate thrillers is being ahead of the reveal. I like guessing, that&amp;rsquo;s part of the fun of a mystery. I enjoy being proven right or wrong; that&amp;rsquo;s part of the game. What I don&amp;rsquo;t like is when I&amp;rsquo;m spoonfed information in such a way that I can quickly guess what&amp;rsquo;s going to happen, what the big twist is, and it undercuts the tension, and I&#039;m left waiting for the big event. Thus, my predicament with Paul Feig&amp;rsquo;s adaptation of&amp;nbsp; Freida McFadden&amp;rsquo;s novel, The Housemaid.&amp;nbsp;
