It is a banner week as far as the number of titles being released on DVD and Blu-ray. “It Ends With Us” Grade C: Too much caution keeps “It Ends With Us” from living up to its full potential. There are moments of story clarity but overall, this adaptation of the book of the same name written in 2016 by Colleen Hoover suffers from a lack of commitment. Actor, director of ‘It Ends With Us’ speaks about domestic violence Blake Lively plays Lily Bloom, a woman looking to start a new life in Boston. She has moved away from her hometown in Maine to escape the constant reminders of the brutality that enveloped her home when she was young. She thinks she has met the perfect partner but ends up in a brutal relationship. “It Ends With Us” fails to find a direct line of approach to give the story a powerful emotional surge. That doesn’t mean it is bad. It just never reaches what should have been its full potential. “You Gotta Believe” Grade C-:  The film does its best to be the “Rocky” of baseball movies. Leading off that effort is that it is based on the true story of a Fort Worth youth baseball team that went from a losing season to the 2002 Little League World Series. The batting order for the production directed by Ty Roberts (“12 Mighty Orphans”) and written by Lane Garrison includes a member of the coaching staff being diagnosed with cancer, a head coach who has never shown a real interest in the team and group of players who would all be picked last in a pickup game. It is not a Murderer’s Row but more like a Cliché Alley. One of the biggest questions looming over the project is why it took more than two decades to turn the diamond tale into a feature film. The actual run by the Fort Worth team was big news for ESPN but the fire died quickly. “Strange Darling” Grade B+: This offering falls firmly under the tales of terror genre but that is about all it has in common with the way the majority of those films have been made in the past. Director JT Mollner (“Outlaws and Angels”) has managed to take a familiar format and infuse it with engaging life, storytelling liberty and a long-lasting pursuit of nervous moments. How different this film is from the norm becomes apparent in the opening minutes. The story – written by Mollner covering six chapters – doesn’t take the path of least entertainment resistance. None of the chapters are told in a linear order but are presented with what appears a random selection but in the end makes for a compelling flow. “Trap” Grade D: The plot for director M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film is so limited in story and substance that it would have been lacking even as a TikTok video. Had he been any tighter with the script, the production would have been confused for a concert film. Shyamalan has built a career out of creating more twists than a pretzel factory. In this case, there is the anticipation that the big twist is just a scene away. Sadly, it never comes and “Trap” plays out as a standard stupid cops vs. smart criminal tale. The biggest criminal act is that “Trap” is not just poorly written but also is painfully boring because a much-needed big twist never arrives. Being frugal is not always a good thing. Blink Twice” Grade C+: The film banks heavily on a right turn made midway through the film to take the audience from a sense of tranquility to a realization of stark terror. That turn eventually comes but instead of being a sharp transition of direction, novice director Zoë Kravitz uses a wide sweeping arc that allows the audience to have plenty of time to know where the production is going. Slater King (Channing Tatum) is a sleazy tech millionaire who meets working class cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) at his fundraising gala and invites her and her best bud Jess (Alia Shawkat) to join him and his partying friends on his isolated island that appears to be a paradise. It is not. It should be noted there is a disclaimer at the beginning of the film that suggests the acts of violence are so vile that they could have a triggering effect on some moviegoers. The film definitely pushes the boundaries of its R rating.
