Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “The Crow absolutely holds up, while while the 4K UHD version of High Noon is tempting, my UHD pick for this month is The Crow, and kind of my pick in general.” Blaine says, “of those I’ve seen, Fletch may be the strongest recommendation, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to pick it up.”

One reply

  1. I watched Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 1 a couple of weeks ago and it was good (it’s technically a sequel to Justice League: Warworld, but it’s not necessary to understand what’s going on).

    The two newer animated Addams Family movies were very good. I don’t think they got the same buzz as other incarnations of the family.

    Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island will always hold a special place in my heart for re-launching the franchise. Return to Zombie Island is extra silly. I know a lot of Scooby fans hated it; I got a good laugh.
