No Down Payment is a well done and underappreciated movie about 4 families living in 1950s suburbia and features some great performances, particularly Joanne Woodward, Tony Randall and Cameron Mitchell.

Blue Denim Blu-ray Review
The Hospital is a dark comedy that works mostly for George C. Scott though the story itself isn’t only mildly amusing. The Blu-ray has okay video/audio transfers but lacks many features.
Model Shop Blu-Ray Review
Model Shop was an okay enough drama that excels with the performance from Alexandra Hay while I found Gary Lockwood’s Matthews to be a bit annoyingly dense of a character.
Alexander Hamilton DVD
Hamilton is an interesting film based on the stage play of its time and has a solid performance from George Arliss in the feature role.
Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell BD + Screen Caps
Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell is the fifth movie in the series and while it’s hardly great even by mindless entertainment standards, it’s still an enjoyable enough time anyway especially watching Michael Gross and Jamie Kennedy having a great time with the material.

Disney’s ZOMBIES DVD
ZOMBIES is pretty much a bumble-gum TV movie you’d expect from Disney and is perfectly safe for the teenaged crowd, though if you want a refreshing telling of the zombie genre, you can choose CW’s iZombie or Warm Bodies.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space BD + Screen Caps
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a wonderful 1980s deliberate B-movie that has garnered cult status and actually features respectable make-up/costume designs and some genuinely funny moments.

Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke BD + Screen Caps
Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke is a stoner’s paradise of a movie and even as someone who doesn’t partake, or am a big fan of either Cheech Marin or Tommy Chong, found this to be a fun and entertaining time.

Den of Thieves BD + Screen Caps
Imperfect to say the least, Den of Thieves does have quite a few things going for it from an intense performance from Gerard Butler and suspense-filled crime sequences, that does somewhat overcome the lengthy running time and lack of some character development of the supporting cast.
Backstabbing for Beginners BD + Screen Caps
Backstabbing for Beginners does tell an interesting story about an event that probably not many people know or remember, and while it is fascinating, the final product was more on the respectable but not great spectrum.

Paddington 2 BD + Screen Caps
Paddington 2 is an entertaining film for the entire family and I’m sure fans of the Berenstain Bear books will get a kick out of this sequel, but even if you’re like me and are a part of only 1% of the population unfamiliar, it is still is quite fun.
The Greatest Showman BD + Screen Caps
The Greatest Showman may not be the greatest movie musical to come down the pike with some average storytelling, but the musical performances themselves and songs more than made up for its shortcomings.
Braven BD + Screen Caps
Braven was a surprisingly well made, save for a few eye-rolling moments, suspense-thriller with some solid performances from two bad-asses with Jason Momoa and Stephen Lang as they do battle against low-level drug smugglers. Well worth a rental.
Cyborg: Collector’s Edition BD + Screen Caps
Cyborg had all the hallmarks of being a fun good bad 1980s sci-fi action movie and while there are certainly some great moments, still get a chuckle out of Tremolo growls, there’s too much of it that is derivative that it became a bit boring at times.

Honor Up BD + Screen Caps
Honor Up is a poorly made, terribly written film with bad performances to boot. It honestly was a chore to sit through and there are far better options that touch upon the same subject matter.
