Shooting the Mafia Blu-ray Review
Shooting the Mafia isn’t the strongest documentary, though in fairness I don’t watch or review a whole lot of them generally, but even so this is one that seemed to ride the line between two subjects and isn’t fulfilling in either.

The Grudge: The Untold Chapter Blu-ray Review
The Grudge (The Untold Chapter) isn’t a lazy sequel (or si-quel) and thanks to Nicolas Pesce does have an interesting and dark look, but the story isn’t up to par and does rely a bit much on the jump scares.

The Contractor/The Fan Blu-ray Review
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.

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.
