The Final Word on Physical Media
This A Deadly Place collection is an… interesting collection of movies and while these aren’t high quality material, I’m sure they have their fans and a few I checked out were quasi-entertaining.

The Dallas Connection is another Sidaris movie that doesn’t really stand out over the rest, though having recently also watched Enemy Gold, does have a more competent plot, take that for what it’s worth, and Julie Strain is beautiful as ever.
Enemy Gold is no better or worse than most of Sidaris’ films, though it’s also really indistinguishable as outside of a scene or two, they all kind of blend together.
Gladiator is a tremendous movie that still holds up so well after all of these years, and this coming someone who really didn’t fully appreciate it upon its initial theatrical release. Seeing the “Extended Edition” version for a second time and thought it was remarkable.

Friday the 13th is certainly a classic slasher-horror and even though it’s not the most well made movie for sure, even seeing it several times over the years, it still holds up really well.

The Hunt is a controversial movie that in the end wasn’t all that controversial and instead it’s an entertaining enough horror-thriller-comedy but ultimately not all that memorable.
The Deer Hunter makes its debut on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray through Shout Factory’s well done presentation including several new interviews and previously released commentary track. The film features great performances from Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken.

The Invisible Man is a surprisingly well done update to a classic horror icon and a step in the right direction for Universal’s planned monster reboots and Elisabeth Moss is perfect in the lead and almost solely carries a film.

Reflections in a Golden Eye debuts on Blu-ray with both a colorized version and a “gold”-hued one as originally director John Huston intended.

Creepshow: Season 1 is a fun anthology series and as someone who prefers the more episodic shows, this one I found pretty entertaining even if some segments weren’t always top-notch, though the season does boast a respectable cast.
Star Trek: Short Treks I suppose is a decent bridge between seasons and if you’re a big fan of Star Trek: Discovery and its characters, these might be entertaining short episodes.
Inside Daisy Clover debuted on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection and stars the lovely Natalie Wood, Christopher Plummer and Robert Redford.
Escape from L.A. seems to blend together 1980s and 1990s cheese with a mixture of success while others are just too much, though Kurt Russell is still great as Snake. I will say, this one at least does have some replay value.

D-Day: Normandy 1944 is a perfectly serviceable overview of the incredible event that changed the tide of the war for the allies. However, there are far better documentaries out there covering the subject more in-depth.

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is a wonderful conclusion to the New 52 DCAU which had its ups and downs but produced some good features, a few of which rival the live action side.
