Cinderella
Because Cinderella was painstakingly hand drawn and filmed (almost 75 years ago), any version will have some level of graininess to it but the 4K transfer is the best this film has ever looked.

Needful Things
As the film opens the picture quality is, in a word, awful. However, one minute in, everything changes and the 4K native (2160p) resolution kicks in putting everything in sharp focus with incredible detail.

Sisu is not for the faint of heart, but if you can stomach it, it's a well-made film worthy of your time.

There have been far scarier movies that have been made and, while some are better than Insidious, there are many more that are MUCH worse.

John Wick: Chapter 4
As a franchise, John Wick offers viewers a lot and does it well. The 4K release lives up to expectations and is a must for any John Wick fan.
