Keanu Reeves is one of the most fun and best actors around. We all love him in a variety of films and we can't wait until the next installments of 'John Wick' and 'Bill and Ted'. In between these films, it's really hit or miss with the movies Keanu chooses, but one thing is and will always be true - Keanu Reeves is a badass and a great actor. So 'Siberia' is his most recent film that probably took a couple of weeks to shoot and I'll compare it to Leo DiCaprio's 'Blood Diamond' movie because it has Keanu Reeves in the diamond business under shady and dangerous conditions.

That's all well and good, but the film doesn't follow this story a whole lot but rather plays out like a soft-core porn film that can be seen on Cinemax or Showtime Late-Night. Yes, there is a lot of sex in this movie for no real reason. Don't let the Blu-ray cover art full you - it doesn't do the movie justice, but if you check out the actual movie poster, then it makes a bit more sense. The romance is a bit of an affair with some Russian chick, as Keanu's character tries to keep in touch with his state-side piece (MOLLY FREAKING RINGWALD) out of nowhere.

However, Keanu and the cafe Russian chick do some chaotic diamond dealings and make love throughout the film. It doesn't really go anywhere and is tonally all over the place. It's not particularly a good movie, but if you like Keanu Reeves - you must rent it. The 1080p video presentation is good and the DTS-HD 5.1 mix is great. There is only one bonus feature on the disc, which is a promo fluff EPK short.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS

Keanu Reeves delivers the action in this thriller packed with pulse-pounding suspense. In Russia to sell rare jewels to a businessman with underworld connections, U.S. diamond merchant Lucas Hill (Reeves) falls into a torrid affair with Katya (Ana Ularu), a local café owner. When the deal suddenly goes south, Lucas and Katya are caught in a deadly crossfire between the buyer and Russian agents, as Lucas takes up arms in a furious fight to save Katya and himself.

Has there really been three 'Transporter' movies? Well yes, there has and the third and final one came out ten years ago in 2008. What is a 'Transporter' anyway? It's someone who is hired to deliver a package or person, mostly in dangerous situations. Jason Statham is the Transporter for all three films, which was conjured up by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) and the last two films directed by Olivier Megaton (Taken 2 and 3). It's business as usual with this third film as Jason Statham is a Transporter headed to Russia with some nasty Russians on his tail.

Also, Statham has an explosive bracelet on his wrist in case he steps a few feet away from his car, which is basically a two hour Audi commercial. Explosions, gun fights, car chases and more are the main focus of the film - nothing more, nothing less. It's fun but tired and predictable. Still, it's great to see Statham still having a blast in this role. This comes with the 4K UHD Disc, Blu-ray, and Digital Copy, along with a great 4K video presentation and a killer Dolby Atmos audio track. All of the extras come from the DVD version of the film ten years ago. There are no new ones.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS

Jason Statham is back as Frank Martin, the Transporter, in this explosive third installment of the action-adventure series. This time, Frank is presented an offer he can't refuse and ends up with a mysterious passenger and a dangerous destination — calling for a new machine and new rules. The stakes are bigger, the enemy is deadlier, and the action has never been hotter.

A couple of times a year, Fax Expo HQ puts on a great Comic Book Show, complete with celebrities, voice actors, comic book artists and writers, and cosplayers. This year with Dallas Fan Days is no different, which took place on October 19-21st at the Irving Convention Center. This year, the big draw was 'Dragonball Z', which the main voice actor Chris Sabat was in attendance and had a ton of people wanting his autograph and picture. Dallas Fan Days even had an entire Dragonball Z setup with cosplayers, artwork and statues. It looked great.

There was a big Doctor Who section with tons of fandom everywhere for the beloved series as well. Ray Park from 'Star Wars' was in attendance as well as Jaleel White from 'Family Matters'. There's a little something for every at this show, whether you're into comic books, cosplay, action figures, anime, or mainstream movies and tv shows. The cosplay this year was out of this world too as you could tell a ton of people spend many hours on their costumes to impress the masses.

Please listen to our time at Dallas Fan Days in podcast form below.

With a quick glance at the poster or film, you'd think this is just another one of the 100s of Tyler Perry films where someone dresses up as an elderly person and comedy ensues. That's not the case with 'Uncle Drew' though. Shock and awe for sure. If you're unfamiliar with 'Uncle Drew', this idea came from a Pepsi commercial where a big basketball star dressed like an old man and show up the young kids on the court.

The creator of the "Whuzzzz-uppppp" Budweiser commercials directed this film and stars a ton of NBA players as older guys in makeup along with some comedic actors who try and win a basketball tournament in Harlem. There are some endearing moments of these older friends coming together again to play the game they love along with some comedy. I was actually impressed by the film even though the story has been done many times before. Definitely recommended! The video and audio presentations are both good and the extras are worth your time here.

Official Synopsis: 

After Dax (Lil Rel Howery) loses his streetball team to his archrival (Nick Kroll), he’s desperate for a way to enter the upcoming tournament and win the cash prize. Dax stumbles upon the man, the myth, the legend Uncle Drew (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving), and draws up a crazy game plan: convince Drew and his old squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie) to hit the court one more time and prove that septuagenarians can still win the big one!
