Occupation was a surprisingly decent enough sci-fi/thriller that should entertain any fan of B-level type of movies and the film itself does feature some respectable enough visual effects and an entertaining enough story.

Big Wednesday Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Big Wednesday is a well acted drama mixing surfing drama with 1960s culture clash, not a great movie but it is worthy of a rental.

Supergirl: The Complete Third Season Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Supergirl: Season 3 is a solid year for the Girl of Steel and features a fine performance from star Melissa Benoist who absolutely owns the role. The writing, however, still is weak though some of the actual storylines were decent and had some cool villains.

The Day of the Jackal Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
The Day of the Jackal is one of my favorite suspense-thrillers from the 1970s, alongside classics like The French Connection and The Conversation, and features a wonderful performance from Edward Fox in the titular role.

Cold Water: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Cold Water (L’eau froide) is a well acted and quite realistic drama about adolescent youth with Assayas’s screenplay holding no punches and avoids some of the pratfalls of similarly themed movies from the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Blindspot: The Complete Third Season Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Blindspot was never priority viewing, and to be fair not much television is nowadays, but I have enjoyed the series and this third season does have some fun twists and turns.

Universal Classic Monsters: Complete 30-Film Collection Blu-ray Review
The Universal Classic Monsters: Complete 30-Film Collection is one hell of a set from the studio, particularly for folks who didn’t already pick up the Legacy Collection sets, and just in time for Halloween.

Once Upon a Time: The Complete Seventh and Final Season Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Once Upon a Time has been a mixed bag of a series for me, mostly on the negative side to be honest, but I actually did enjoy this seventh and final season.
Madam Secretary: Season 4 DVD Review
Madam Secretary: Season 4 is pretty much like any of the many other political shows (like Scandal or, going way back, The West Wing) with sort of a more fantasy element compared with real life, though the election certainly gave the writers a field day for some additional drama.
Longmire: The Sixth and Final Season Blu-ray Review
Longmire was a nice western-drama featuring some fine performances, most notably stars Robert Taylor and Katee Sackoff, both consistently delivering quality work throughout the series’ six seasons.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review + BD Screen Caps
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was a misfire of a sequel and even though I wasn’t a big fan of the first movie, there were some fun moments, this one at times just felt like a rehash of The Lost World: Jurassic Park but at the very least the ending could lead to an interesting finale.

MacGyver: Season 2 DVD Review
While I don’t really have a problem with CBS and their reboot of Hawaii Five-0 but MacGyver is one that really doesn’t work both in terms of its style and the performances, most notable Lucas Till who just doesn’t look quite right in the role.
Ocean’s 8 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review + BD Screen Caps
Ocean’s Eight isn’t as slick of a film compared with Ocean’s Eleven, but despite a lacking and bland cinematography and some jarring dialogue, I did generally find this entry into the franchise mostly entertaining for the ensemble cast.

Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost DVD Review
Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost is a fun enough direct-to-video adventure from Mystery Inc. and even though the plot and culprit is as predictable as ever, still makes for a good way to spend an hour plus.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Won’t You be My Neighbor? is an incredible documentary outlining the exceptional and unconventional career of Fred Rogers and the influence he had on so many generations, including my own.
