The Ipcress File is worth checking out even with its slow pace as Michael Caine is magnanimous as Harry Palmer, showcasing his on-screen charisma. In addition, there are some striking stylistic moments and shots.

Trading Places Blu-ray Review
Trading Places still holds up after all this time and following several viewings both on disc and on television over the years. It’s a bit on the nose at times and especially some clichés, yet the dynamic between Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd was wonderful.
Beverly Hills Cop 4K Ultra HD Review
Fury isn’t the best war drama around, not even in the top 5, but it’s still well made and features a great cast, with Brad Pitt delivering a fine performance (one of his best in some time), that elevates the writing while Ayer’s direction keeps the pacing just right.
Top Gun 4K Steelbook Ultra HD Review
Top Gun is a wildly entertaining action-romance featuring the ever so charming Tom Cruise, surrounded by a solid supporting cast including McGinnis, Edwards and Kilmer, directed by the late Tony Scott.
Resident Evil: Limited Edition Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
The Resident Evil: Complete Collection is a nice enough set and while I don’t think much about any of the six movies, a couple more serviceable than others, each one benefits from the 4K transfers and come with a good selection of bonus features.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter 4K Ultra HD Review
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in all likelihood will not the “final” movie of this flailing franchise and this entry just wasn’t good but not quite awful either, rather forgettable more than anything.

Resident Evil: Retribution 4K Ultra HD Review
Resident Evil: Retribution is by far the weaker film of the franchise but not completely awful as I still enjoy watching Jovovich and her physicality with the role, kicking all sorts of butt and taking out zombies and monster creatures.

Resident Evil: Afterlife 4K Ultra HD Review
Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth movie in the series, is another ho-hum entry with a mundane plot and thinly written supporting characters, though Jovovich is still in fine form and works fine for the role of Alice.

Resident Evil: Extinction 4K Ultra HD Review
Resident Evil: Extinction isn’t all that good to be honest, but I do appreciate the change in scenery from the cold and dark Umbrella Corporation facilities or the decaying cityscapes, and instead taking place in the desert with Jovovich once again playing her role well enough.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse 4K Ultra HD Review
Resident Evil: Apocalypse isn’t terrible and never made me angry, yet doesn’t get near the good-bad realm. However, I still like Milla Jovovich in the lead here and the addition of Sienna Guillory was nice.

Resident Evil 4K Ultra HD Review
Resident Evil might be the mediocre beginning of what would become a six movie franchise, but I did like Milla Jovovich in the lead as the material fits her skill set pretty well and there’s just enough to make it watchable.
Guest House Blu-ray Review
Guest House seems to harken back to the 1990s raunchy comedy and stars Pauly Shore, Mike Castle, Aimee Teeharden, Billy Zane (whose name isn’t even on the front cover) and Steve-O (whose name IS on the front cover).

Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
