Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago - The Ultimate Director's Cut (2021)
Not sure this was needed
As a long time fan of Rocky 4, I was awaiting this in anticipation.
I have to say, I really didn't see it as an improvement over the original at all. It was nice to see the extra scenes but I can see why they were originally cut from the theatrical release in 1987. It's mostly chit chat that's unimportant with a few extra but unimportant lines from Drago. Sly has also taken some of the gorgeous soundtrack by vince di cola away, which was disappointing. The 4k release offers a gorgeous picture which is something to note.
The directors cut felt ironically like a less complete film. It's still great but I prefer the original.
Session 9 (2001)
Standard film, not scary at all.
The film was rather slow and really doesn't deserve the terrifying reputation it seems to have gotten according to some reviews. It is quite tame and bland. I was looking forward to a scare, but there really wasn't even one.
