Jean Grey begins to develop incredible powers that corrupt and turn her into a Dark Phoenix. Now the X-Men will have to decide if the life of a team member is worth more than all of humanity.
Review
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is another go at the same story line centered around Jean Grey that we got in X-Men: The Last Stand. A film that was all but erased by some events that took place in Days of Future Past. Dark Phoenix is at its best when we get to see these heroes in action. There are plenty of set pieces here that deliver great action and gave me exactly what I wanted. What I wanted was more scenes building the relationships between these characters. There are some but not anywhere near as effective as I would have wanted for a film that is based around a story that pits family against family. I know this series is more than capable of delivering that type of story because Logan did it better than any other X-Men film before it. Not to mention we've seen these characters grow over a few films by now. Dark Phoenix might be disappointing when compared to the series highs of X2 and Days of Future Past but overall the strong cast really carries this film along with strong action scenes.
Video
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is presented on Blu-ray with a 1080p transfer in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. As I mentioned before, Dark Phoenix has some awesome set pieces filled with great action. This Blu-ray transfer really popped off on my screen. I'm sure the 4K of this looks amazing but the Blu-ray presentation cannot be far behind. Some of the CGI does falter when compared to other CGI that is used throughout the film. Aside from these scenes the rest of the movie looked quite sharp and there were no issues I noticed through multiple viewings.
Audio
This Blu-ray Disc features a DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track that sounded great on my system. I was really looking forward to the audio presentation because Hans Zimmer handled the score for this film. This audio track is just as impressive as the video presentation. The action pieces felt as alive as I expected, the dialogue was a bit low during some scenes but some minor adjustments on my end made that a nonissue.

In the year 2019, a plague has transformed almost every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind
Review
Daybreakers has a super interesting plot that I am surprised has not garnered much interest from major studios almost 10 years later. This movie is at its best when the world building is front and center, how would a world look if the majority of the population turned to vampires? Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe round out a talented cast that all deliver sublime performances. For a movie that was made around a decade ago, it does hold up well. This one will definitely please those of you that enjoy gory vampire movies. Although there are some minor plot holes, Daybreakers is worth the ride if you're willing to let it get away with a few things.
Audio
The 4K disc is supported with a Dolby Atmos track that makes the most of the environments presented in this movie. Anything from snarling vampires to rapid gunfire sounded crisp and clear. No noticeable issues in deciphering dialogue from background sounds.
Video
Daybreakers is presented in 4K UHD with a 2160p transfer in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. This movie has a very notable tone across the film. A darker tone that I've seen with other vampire films. As for the picture itself, I found very little issues if any. There are some signs of grain but nothing that took me out of the movie, the biggest detriment to this video presentation is the dated CGI effects but then again, it is not bad for being a decade old. The HDR does help since this is a dark film that does offer contrast from full on daylight to night time. Overall a solid 4K upgrade.

Final Thoughts
Daybreakers is a strong vampire film, it presents some interesting ideas that I hope get further explored in the future. As Halloween nears, this is not a film you want to keep out of your horror movie marathons.
Daybreakers is available now on 4K Combo Pack from Lionsgate.

“EQUAL PARTS HILARIOUS, RAUNCHY AND HEARTWARMING!” - SHAWN EDWARDS, FOX-TV
Universal City, California, September 17, 2019 – How bad can a sixth grader’s day really get? From creative masterminds Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad, Pineapple Express, Sausage Party) comes the new hit comedy Good Boys, available on Digital October 29, 2019, as well as Blu-rayTM, DVD and On Demand on November 12, 2019. Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes as the biggest original comedy opening of the year, the movie is making audiences laugh out loud with its perfect mix of side-splitting adult humor and oblivious-yet-loveable trio of grade-school friends.

After being invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max (Jacob Tremblay; Room) is panicking because he doesn’t know how to kiss.

Williams, Fox’s The Last Man On Earth) decide to use Max’s dad’s drone – which Max is forbidden to touch – to spy on a teenage couple making out next door. But when things go ridiculously wrong, the drone is destroyed. Desperate to replace it before Max’s dad (Will Forte, The Last Man on Earth) gets home, the boys skip school and set off on an odyssey of epically bad decisions involving some accidentally stolen drugs, frat-house paintball, and running from both the cops and two terrifying teenage girls (Molly Gordon; Life of the Party and Midori Francis; Ocean’s Eight).
From Point Grey producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the writers of Superbad, Pineapple Express and Sausage Party, and James Weaver (Neighbors), Good Boys is co-written and produced by Lee Eisenberg and co-written and directed by Gene Stupnitsky (NBC’s The Office).

In “The Lion King,” pioneering filmmaking techniques bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother — and former heir to the throne — has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. The all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.
