I usually enjoy these interconnected ensemble movies but Even Money never quite gelled though the performances from Danny DeVito, Tim Roth were rather good, but not enough to make this a must rental or purchase.

Possession Blu-ray Review
Possession had an interesting premise but not enough to stretch it into feature film length or at least provide some consistent story that was engaging rather than a bit on the dull side.
Scoob! 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Scoob may not satisfy hard-core fans of this long-running franchise but I found it mildly entertaining and the CGI animation was pretty good and for the most part liked the voice casting.
Hawaii Five-0: The Final Season DVD Review
Hawaii Five-0 comes to an end after a fairly impressive 10 season run and while the acting I don’t think was ever top notch, some of the stories, thanks to the locations, were entertaining.

Force of Nature Blu-ray Review
Force of Nature isn’t the worst movie around and from a technical perspective, like most of these Grindstone/EFO pictures, competently made, but the script, and in particular the finale, needed some work.
L’Innocente Blu-ray Review
L’Innocente (The Innocent) makes its North American debut on Blu-ray through Film Movement and stars Giancarlo Giannini (most Americans will recognize from Casino Royale), Laura Antonelli and Jennifer O’Neill.
The Other Lamb Blu-ray Review
The Other Lamb is a new psychological horror-thriller film from director Malgorzata Szumowska and starring Raffey Cassidy and Michiel Huisman, comes to Blu-ray & DVD on July 28th.
Evil: Season One DVD Review
Evil is a dark but engaging supernatural crime-drama featuring a solid cast headlined by Katja Herbers, Mike Colter and Michael Emerson being as creepy as ever. The season lays a good foundation for a second season.
Survive the Night Blu-ray Review
Survive the Night is merely one of those bland movies that’s just competent enough to not be bad yet have such an average script to be all that entertaining, even as a time-waster.
Airplane: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Airplane remains one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen and has endured the test of time, though probably some jokes would not be looked favorably in today’s climate and a movie like this wouldn’t be allowed to be made today. Still, funny as hell.

Nathalie: Escape from Hell Blu-ray Review
Nathalie is a sleazy film for sure with horrible dubbing and a thin plot, yet still found it semi-tolerable with Patrizia Gori being easy on the eyes and at least Jacqueline Laurent was hilariously bad with her cackling.

Jett: Season One DVD Review
Carla Gugino is such an underrated actress and seeing her lead another series like Jett, she is perfection and hopefully this sees a second season and not cancelled too soon like Karen Sisco.
You Don’t Nomi Blu-ray Review
You Don’t Nomi proves there’s a documentary on about just about any subject, and this one on Showgirls which has received a cult following over the years and apparently growing debate on its qualities.
Clueless: 25th Anniversary Edition Steelbook Blu-ray Review
Clueless is a timeless classic that even 25+ years later is still relevant today as it was then even when styles and lingo changes. The movie features some great performances especially from Silverstone.

Unintended: Special Edition Blu-ray Review
Unintended is a nice indie drama featuring a few fine performances, especially Elizabeth Lail who popped up on my radar screen with the show Yes. Even with no real build up to some incredible dramatic moment, I still found this to be engaging enough.
