After the Wedding features some great performances by a respectable cast that includes Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams and Billy Crudup, along with the young and talented Abby Quinn, but the film falters in the script and editing.

Project Ithaca Blu-ray Review
Project Ithaca is a mess of a film between some bad acting mixed with haphazard script and scattershot editing, beyond that it’s just that compelling of a story, this is the type of movie that would wind up as part of free option on Amazon Prime.
Rambo: Last Blood 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Rambo: Last Blood might not have the same feel compared with the others in the series, but I still found this to be a compelling action-thriller and another good performance from Sylvester Stallone.

Semper Fi Blu-ray Review
Semper Fi is a drama that meanders in spots and the writing isn’t always the best, including the introduction of best friends at the opening which felt off, but outside of that, the acting at least was respectable.
Snow Falling on Cedars: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Snow Falling on Cedars is a poignant, somber little drama-mystery, with great cinematography, that for one reason or another has kind of been forgotten.

Ambition Blu-ray Review
Ambition is normally the type of movie right in my wheelhouse and the film does start off well enough before coming right off the rails at the end. However, I will say lead actress Katherine Hughes acquitted herself well enough.
The Anne Bancroft Collection: Shout Select Blu-ray Review
Anne Bancroft was a fantastic and mesmerizing actress in just about everything she starred in and this collection release from Shout Factory has some of her greats, a few more notable than others.

Star Trek Discovery: Season Two Blu-ray Review
Star Trek Discover: Season Two I found to be an okay season I suppose but I’m not steeped in the history of Star Trek as a whole so any changes or updates didn’t bother me, although it’s pretty obvious to keep fans, they needed to include the old guard.

Shazam!: The Complete Live Action Series Blu-ray Review
Shazam: The Complete Live Action Series is everything that is so wrong and yet so right about the 1970s and the state of the superhero genre which at that juncture consisted of cheap production and campy humor; still, this was a fun show to watch all things considered.

Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Blu-ray Review
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood may not be Tarantino’s strongest film though I did enjoy this experience more than The Hateful Eight thanks to his attention to detail for the era along with some fun performances by both DiCaprio and Pitt.

Acceleration Blu-ray Review
Acceleration is the very type of terrible movie that Amazon Prime members could watch for free and I’m pretty sure that could be where this one is headed in few months time.
Ready or Not Blu-ray Review
Ready or Not is a darkly comedic and even thrilling film that doesn’t have the strongest story but with Samara Weaving in the lead, makes this worthy of at least a rental.
Gunsmoke: The Sixteenth Season DVD Review
Gunsmoke continues its lengthy run with this sixteenth season and although westerns still aren’t really my thing, the episode plots were relatively interesting to go along with a respectable ensemble cast.

Mary Blu-ray Review
Mary on paper at least had plenty of potential and with a recent Academy Award winner at the helm in Gary Oldman, this was an all around disappointing film with poor editing and weak plot and characters.
The Gallows Act II Blu-ray Review
The Gallows Act II might be a slight step up from the first film if only because it’s a traditionally shot film versus the found footage style, but the story still isn’t the best and the acting mostly subpar (though I did like Ema Horvath in the lead).
