The Skulls franchise isn’t great by any means and while none of them are awful, they never really tapped into what could’ve been a fun, over-the-top thriller and instead each was rather forgettable.

Apex Blu-ray Review
Apex is just another poorly made direct-to-video flick with Bruce Willis likely showing up for a day or two, though I will say he at least attempts to give some semblance of a performance instead of the blank expression he often shows in these types of movies.
Fortress Blu-ray Review
Fortress is nothing that I haven’t seen before from these direct-to-video films with an uninspiring story and another mundane performance from Bruce Willis with his now usual blank, expressionless face.
Wayne’s World: 30th Anniversary Blu-ray Review
Wayne’s World is an all-around funny music-comedy showcasing both Mike Myers’s and Dana Carvey’s talents and the movie still holds up all these years later.

Last Night in Soho Blu-ray Review
I can respect the talent of Edgar Wright as he is a visually great filmmaker and while I wasn’t totally engrossed with his latest outing, I will say Last Night in Soho is well worth checking out.
Superhost Blu-ray Review
Superhost is a passably entertaining horror-thriller thanks to Gracie Gillum’s performance as an imbalanced crazy person while the social commentary on vlogging is pretty fun to watch.

Halloween Kills 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Halloween Kills is an ill-conceived follow-up to 2018’s Halloween which itself was an ill-conceived sequel to the 1978 original. There’s not much here to admire outside a couple technical aspects, and it doesn’t give me much hope for Halloween Ends.

Breakheart Pass is an all-around fun and entertaining western-thriller with Charles Bronson once more great in the lead.

The Toolbox Murders 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
The Toolbox Murders is a mediocre slasher where the mystery element goes by the wayside halfway through (not that the identity isn’t hard to tell) but features a creepily fun performance by the great Cameron Mitchell.

Dune (2021) 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Dune is a movie that has plenty of technical achievements by director Denis Villeneuve and his team but very little emotion at its core, even with a respectable cast.
