The Contractor/The Fan double feature Blu-ray release isn’t anything remarkable as these aren’t high-quality movies to begin with, however both films do have their moments and Wesley Snipes at least never felt like he was phoning it in.

Fit to Kill Blu-ray Review
Fit to Kill is ever so slightly better than the previous entry, Hard Hunted, as the humor worked a tad more and there weren’t as many slow moments compared some of the other movies in this series.
Hard Hunted Blu-ray Review
Hard Hunted is pretty much in-line with the others in this series, especially the last couple, mostly that the cheesy and camp does not outweigh some of the duller moments that keeps it out of good-bad territory.

Knives Out 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Knives Out isn’t quite a masterpiece but certainly has roots in a classical Agatha Christie mystery with some modern, topical twists which at times come across as preachy. Other than that, however, this is a wonderful mystery-comedy with a fantastic ensemble.

1917 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
1917 is a rare movie in these times and even rarer ones taking place during World War I. The performance from George MacKay is great but the biggest takeaway is the one-shot concept from director Sam Mendes which was pretty impressive.
Cupid DVD Review
Cupid is a fun enough concept I guess but the execution didn’t meet the potential and doesn’t help that the acting was rather bad on just about everybody’s part, not to mention that killer cupid was pretty hilarious more so than menacing.
The Ten Commandments Blu-ray Rundown
The Ten Commandments Blu-ray from Paramount now comes in Digibook form and has both the 1923 and 1956 feature films, and though they are the same discs, at a discounted price, and if not already owned, worth picking up.
The Sonata Blu-ray Review
The Sonata does have its moments and the performance from the young Freya Tingley was one of the highlights. However, the film does plod along somewhat and yet also at the same time, felt like there needed to be more.
Return of Ultraman Blu-ray Review
Return of Ultraman is another zany science fiction fantasy adventure series. There are some fun moments amongst the stilted dialogue and half-baked storytelling which, more often than not, culminate with Ultraman taking on the episode’s creature.
Hudson Hawk (Reto VHS Cover) Blu-ray Review
Hudson Hawk isn’t as bad of a movie as it’s been made to be, but certainly not great by any stretch as some of the humor, not to mention the overcomplicated story, doesn’t always work.

Bombshell Blu-ray Rundown
Bombshell, starring an all-star cast including Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, John Lithgow and Margot Robbie comes out on Blu-ray and DVD from Lionsgate this Tuesday, March 10th.
Titans: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray Review
Titans: The Complete Second Season is a solid step up from season one, though I am biased as a fan of Deathstroke who was the central villain, and the new Titans crew is a lot of fun, yes even the arrogant Jason Todd.

UltraSeven: Complete Series 03 Blu-ray Review
UltraSeven, the third series in the Ultraman franchise, and while this is not always my cup of tea, it still holds some entertainment value at least and plenty of funs as you watch men in goofy costumes fight amongst miniature buildings.

Frozen II 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Frozen II is a slight step up from the first film, though notable that I am in the minority as I wasn’t a big fan of that movie, and with this film at least the music was better.
