In eighth century China, the Emperor is grieving over the death of his wife.

This is true only if you consider the incredible heights to which he would rise, because this is a fantastic film. His eye for composition was already there, especially in the opening murder sequence, but also throughout in more casual, "average" scenes that he somehow finds a way to frame like an artist. Critics who consider this minor probably focus too much on how it's more plot- heavy than Argento's best films, but I would argue it's more "major" than you remember. And Arrow's box for it is typically phenomenal for this incredible company, from the gorgeous cover art to the booklet to the copious special features, many of them brand new. This is one of the better Blu- ray releases of the season.

Matthew Griffin, featuring an appreciation of the film by Michael Mackenzie, and new writing by Howard Hughes and Jack Seabrook"John Wick: Chapter 2"2. John Wick" was a true sleeper hit, a film that did well with critics and brought in almost $9. Its fanbase grew even fuller on DVD and Blu- ray, with fans almost demanding a sequel, delivered earlier this year in a way that almost exactly doubled the worldwide gross of the first film. John Wick is a rare action movie franchise loved by both viewers and critics (as we read so often lately, there's often a divide).

Why is that? There's a beautiful simplicity to these films captured in their long action sequences of handheld combat and "gun fu," often shot in a way that you can actually tell what's going on. These films also fully embrace the mystical maverick persona of their leading man, Keanu Reeves. As for this movie specifically, it gets a little too talky in the first half regarding the mythology of this hitman universe, but when it's pumping the adrenaline it really works.

Theatrical Trailer"The Lawnmower Man"It's funny to me how much nostalgia can elevate mediocrity.

Scream Factory has turned this into an art, releasing lavish Blu- ray sets for films that were virtually laughed off the screen when they were first released. It creates a unique sense of false equivalency when films like "Poltergeist III" get the same treatment as "The Thing." "The Lawnmower Man" is an undeniably awful film. It's poorly written, acted, and directed, and yet you'd never know it from this release, one designed primarily for people who were young enough when it first came out to remember it through the rose- colored lenses of history.

The transfer is great, the special features are great, the whole release is great—well, except for the movie itself. Watch Strapped Online Free HD. Advertisement. Buy it here Special Features.

They're gonna pump these out for years, including two in 2. The LEGO Ninjago Movie" comes out later this year, and February's "The LEGO Batman Movie" is on Blu- ray for the rainy days this summer when your kids can't get outside. I think some of this high- energy entertainment gets a little too manic for its own good, but it's a mostly smart script delivered by a great cast of voice actors. Heck, I think it's the best Batman movie since "The Dark Knight," probably, although take that for what you will.

Most of all, I love how much this film embraces the entirety of the mythology of its character, even paying homage to the Adam West and Tim Burton versions that paved the way for the Nolan and Snyder reboots. It's Batman's world. We just live in it. Buy it here Special Features. Watch The Flirting Club Online Freeform.

It's one of those films that keeps popping up on lists of the best films of all time, and was given the Criterion treatment already. This year, they opened the vault and restored Ray's first film, a movie I like even more, the lyrical and somber "They Live by Night." Made in 1. Thieves Like Us, Ray's film has all the elements of noir, particularly in the way it captures a criminal underworld desperate for attention in post- WWII America, but it doesn't fall into many of the stylistic trappings of the genre.
