The Strangers: Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
The Strangers is a movie that still holds up today as it did 10 years ago. Its simplicity, and restraint of using jump scares, really helps it stand out from others in the thriller/horror genre even when character development is, at best, minimal.

Can’t Hardly Wait 4K Ultra HD Review
Can’t Hardly Wait still is a favorite high school movie of mine, partially because it came out at the end of my junior year and because even though I’ve seen it several times over the years, I still manage to laugh and it’s just a fun, almost comfort-like movie.
Game Night 4K Ultra HD Review
Game Night might not be one day some comedy classic but it is an awfully fun movie that features plenty of laughs and a entertaining ensemble cast led way by Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams and, albeit a small part, Michael C. Hall.
Black Mass 4K Ultra HD Review
Black Mass was a decent movie however with this cast lineup and an interesting figure in the history of mobsters, I didn’t find it terribly compelling and as good of a performance Depp gives, his look was distracting.
Abigail Blu-ray Review
Abigail is another fun and entertaining horror-thriller (with dark comedy) from Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett and is inline with Ready or Not.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy 4K Ultra HD Review
Anchorman isn’t a favorite of mine but all these years later is still quotable and a lot of fun to watch with Will Ferrell in all his over-the-top glory.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 4K Ultra HD Review
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga isn’t a complete misfire as there are some good moments but as great of a character that Furiosa was in Mad Max: Fury Road, I would’ve preferred a sequel rather than this prequel and maybe coming out sooner.

Tarot Blu-ray Review
Tarot is just another run-of-the-mill supernatural-horror film that doesn’t break any new ground with the well worn genre but worse, has not one ounce of entertainment value with cardboard cutout characters with superficial personalities.
Twister 4K Ultra HD Review
Twister might not be feature an award-winning screenplay but it is a fun summer popcorn fest that even nearly 30 years later still holds up in both entertainment but also visual effects and a great cast.
Girlfight: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
Girlfight is a well done drama featuring a breakout performance from a young, pre-Fast and the Furious, Michelle Rodriguez and despite not seeing it in over two decades, still holds up and is well worth checking out as it likely went under the radar.

The Flash: The Original Series Blu-ray Review
The Flash: The Original Series is a fun enough superhero show that has all the hallmarks of the early 90s and before the subgenre was taken seriously. Still, John Wesley Shipp is wonderful as Barry Allen.

Once Upon a Time in the West 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Once Upon a Time in the West is a classic western for good reason and features great performances from all involved, but especially Henry Fonda, Jason Robards and Charles Bronson.

Bound: The Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Bound is still my favorite of The Wachowskis movies, even above The Matrix, which itself has also aged quite well. This one has two amazing performances from Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano for his part was wonderfully chaotic.
