Death Screams Blu-ray Review
Death Screams is a film that some may find charming as a “regional” independent film, having been shot in North Carolina. For me, I thought a fair portion was rather dull with characters that failed to resonate.
Catch the Bullet Blu-ray Review
Catch the Bullet was just an ill-fated Western-thriller that features subpar acting from a C-level cast who, in fairness, were not helped by bad dialogue and an overall screenplay.

Twist Blu-ray Review
Sometimes these modernized adaptations of classics can work or at least be bizarre and out there (see Romeo+Julet or 2000’s Hamlet) but it doesn’t seem Oliver Twist in this setting quite works on any level. As a heist film it’s bland and as suspense-thriller lacks any tension.

Batwoman: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray Review

Breakdown: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Breakdown is a simple but effective suspense-thriller with an amiable performance from Kurt Russell showing his on-screen charisma with very little to work with in terms of character development.

Meet Joe Black/Wimbledon Blu-ray Review
This is an odd-pairing, even under the “Girls Night In Double Feature” edition as one is a romance-drama with fantasy while the other is just a typical romance-comedy, but even so both films are alright and at a cheap price worth picking up.
