Get Shorty is a fun, frilly crime-comedy thanks to some snappy dialogue and enjoyable performances from the entire cast including Travolta, Hackman, Russo, DeVito and the late Denis Farina.
City Slickers is a fun and best yet, timeless, movie that resonates just as well today as it did back then. What especially works is the core cast of Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby who work so well off one another.

I actually didn’t think Death Race: Beyond Anarchy was bad, just a bit more of the same from the reboot franchise, though switching things up making Frankenstein an outright antagonist or extreme anti-hero.
Sleep No More is a hybrid of Nightmare on Elm Street with Flatliners and while I don’t think it’s a great movie, does have a few fine things going for it from the atmosphere with some genuinely frightening moments and at least the performances were adequate.
The Seventh Sign is an apocalyptic drama propelled by performances from Demi Moore and character actor, Jurgen Prochnow and is all around fairly entertaining even if these type of films aren’t exactly my thing.
Unfriended: Dark Web isn’t a great movie but an okay step up from its predecessor which I greatly disliked; this entry at least at a few fun suspenseful moments and the acting wasn’t terrible, so win?
Reprisal is just another forgettable direct-to-video thriller from the illustrious Grindstone Entertainment production company and it’s also another film featuring a lackluster performance from Bruce Willis.
Both Wrapped Up in Christmas and Snowed-Inn Christmas are fine family fare movies produced to air on Lifetime as they attempt to compete with the Hallmark Channel for the cheesy holiday romance segment of the population.
A Very Merry Toy Store and Four Christmases and a Wedding is your standard holiday fare that one would see on the Hallmark Channel and given its successes, guess it’s no surprise to see Lifetime get in the act, steering away from the soap opera-like thrillers.
The Man in the Iron Mask is a well made adventure film featuring solid performances, namely Gabriel Byrne and Jeremy Irons and fairly impressive for being screenwriter Randall Wallace’s directorial debut.
The First Purge is by far the weakest of the four movies of the franchise and it’s not even close. Weak plot and thinly written characters torpedoed a series that was on a decline and for myself, I’m pretty much done.
The Resident: The Complete Season One is a perfectly serviceable medical drama but as someone who isn’t the biggest fan of that genre of television, I wasn’t entirely invested in the soap opera-like plots and characters, though the acting isn’t half bad.
In My Country is a finely acted drama from Samuel L. Jackson and Juliette Binoche telling an interesting and well written story based off of a novel.
