This is another light week, likely because studios expect the audience to still be in Avengers: Infinity War theaters on Tuesday. (That review will come later today.)

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’ve seen some good reviews of Mary and the Witch’s Flower, and I missed it during its limited theatrical run, so I’m planning to pick this up.” Blaine says, “the Dark Films collection includes D.O.A. and The Hitch-Hiker, two well made and very enjoyable film noir classics that are now in the public domain. Those titles are worth checking out, whether it be on DVD or one of the many legal streaming copies.”
Looking forward to Please Stand By. As a parent to an autistic child and a Star Trek fan, this should be right up my alley.
I never watched any of the Tremors sequels, but the first one was an absolute hoot. Maybe if I’m really bored…
My wife’s a Mary Higgins Clark fan and mother’s day is just around the corner. Hmmm..
Please Stand By wasn’t bad, but I found it somewhat forgettable. Also, there’s less Trek than a fan could hope for, but Trek isn’t really the point. It’s more of a McGuffin.
