E-mail Print PDF
Welcome to another look at some of the highlights arriving on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. Last week was slow due to the holiday, which means that it’s time for a much busier edition with several notable efforts. So, if you can’t make it out to the movies this week or need to stay indoors for a couple of days, be sure to...

Rating: 3 out of 4 stars

Running Time: 110 Minutes

This feature from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions opened in theaters on Friday, Sept. 13.

Believe it or not, the new film Speak No Evil is actually a remake of a very popular and critically lauded 2022 Danish film. It even won awards in its homeland. This information gave this reviewer the impression that this redo might be more of an arthouse thriller than a chiller. As it turns out, that assumption couldn’t be further from the truth.

Welcome to another look at some of the highlights arriving on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. It appears that the Labor Day holiday has caused a bit of a lull on the new release front, with a limited number of discs making their debuts (next week, however, will be a particularly busy edition). But there are a few efforts to hold us over until then. So, if you can’t make it out to the movies this week or need to stay indoors for a few days, be sure to give one of these titles a try!

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ delivers supernatural shenanigans in spades

Rating: 3 out of 4

Running Time: 105 minutes

This film from Warner Bros. opens exclusively at theaters and in IMAX on Friday, Sept. 6. It has been some time since Tim Burton’s original Beetlejuice premiered. I was young when the 1988 feature arrived in theaters, and while I appreciated the title character and the movie’s sense of style, it didn’t make as lasting an impression as the director’s other titles. So, there was a bit of trepidation watching a sequel to something that didn’t speak to me strongly the first time out. Perhaps it’s because I can now better appreciate its unique dark humor, but Beetlejuice Beetlejuice turned out to be a surprisingly fun trip.

Welcome to another look at some of the highlights arriving on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. After a slow week, things have picked up considerably. In fact, it’s a ridiculously busy edition, to the point where one might wonder why these titles aren’t being spread out over a couple of weeks. Oh well.
