Seized DVD Review
Seized is a throwaway yet better-than-expected direct-to-video action-thriller that doesn’t break any new ground whatsoever but found relatively entertaining thanks to Scott Adkins and some moderately well done stunt work.
The Pale Door Blu-ray Review
The Pale Door isn’t your ordinary western for sure with… interesting horror elements thrown in. While it’s not all that good, I guess I can commend the filmmakers for trying something a bit new for the genre even if some of it didn’t quite work.
The Haunting: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
The Haunting, even with its $80M production budget, was a moderate hit at the box office ($180M) and despite a spooky production design, the story was weak and the visual effects was well overdone.

The Tax Collector 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
The Tax Collector doesn’t really break new ground in any sense. It has a familiar story and while Shia LaBeouf was great for the amount of screen time he has, while Bobby Soto has the look of a leading man, but lacked the charisma.

Split Second: MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Review
Split Second is a sometimes cheesy, even messy, low budget cross between science fiction, buddy cop comedy and horror that works thanks to Rutger Hauer’s committed performance and at least some interesting cinematography copying the aesthetics from Blade Runner.

Requiem for a Dream: Director’s Cut 4K Ultra HD Review
Requiem for a Dream to say the least isn’t entirely a pleasant movie but with the great performances, especially Ellen Burstyn, with the compelling enough storylines, my second viewing of this was more positive.

300 4K Ultra HD Review
300 is a movie that I never really immensely enjoyed back when it was released and even today, found it to be great to look at, but little emotion behind the amazing visuals, though some of the fight scenes were pretty bad-ass.
Reversal of Fortune: Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
