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.

American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules DVD Review
American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules isn’t as bad as one would expect for a DTV film and is probably on par or even slightly better than some of the other American Pie Present films thanks to a likeable enough cast.

Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! DVD Review
Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo is a fun entry into the DTV line of animated movies. At only 76-minutes long, it’s a fine time-waster and I suspect families will enjoy this one.
Shivers: Vestron Video Collector’s Series Blu-ray Review
Shivers was a surprisingly entertaining parasite horror movie that is more or less akin to a zombie flick and works really well especially for being a low budget film. It also shows just the greatness of 1970s cinema.

Focus Features: 10-Movie Spotlight Collection Blu-ray Review
The Focus Features: 10-Movie Spotlight Collection is a good selection of dramas, some better than others and one that is a personal favorite of mine (Lost in Translation). That being said, this is only worth picking up if you don’t own any of the 10 films, though the cost per movie is reasonable.

Blumhouse of Horrors: 10-Movie Collection Blu-ray Review
All of these films in this Blumhouse of Horrors: 10-Movie Collection have been released before. This is a good set to receive as it is a space saver from owning these individually and the price per movie isn’t bad, however you do have a few stinkers.

The Goonies 4K Ultra HD Review
Although I have not fully grasped the cultural influence The Goonies has had over the past 35 years, I still found the movie to be a fun, adventurous romp with one of the better ensemble gathered who had such great chemistry with one another.

Ghost Ship: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Ghost Ship is the worst kind of horror movie. It’s pretty darn dull, nothing especially frightening although I’ll give it some props for a decent set design and gore effects, just not much else going for it.
