The Final Word on Physical Media
Angel Has Fallen is pretty much in-line with the first two movies, meaning they’re fine time-wasters but not top-of-the-line action-thrillers and it is on the predictable side. Still, thanks to Gerard Butler and the indispensible Morgan Freeman, it still was an entertaining thriller.

I wish I could recommend this Criterion Collection release of All About Eve but even though the video and audio transfers and features were great, the cheap packaging and shoddy work holding discs using rubber hubs makes this a no-go in my book.

The 100 isn’t normally my kind of show as generally I don’t have much interest in these ever-growing post-apocalyptic shows (which I included The Walking Dead), but I did find this one to be semi-entertaining.

Wonder Woman: Bloodlines unfortunately is not only one of the lesser within the DC Animated Universe but arguably the worst and continues a bit of a slide following the disappointing Reign of the Supermen, and the poorly scripted Batman: Hush.

Road Games is not for everyone with many loving it, but I’m not one of those, however I did enjoy Stacy Keach’s performance at least and the Australian setting was interesting, just the story never came together.

This iteration of The Jetsons was well before my time, though I also wasn’t an avid watcher of the 1980s version either, but even so, this was a fun and all around enjoyable animated series.

The biggest advantage Virgin Cheerleaders in Chains has was… its title. This micro-budgeted horror-comedy did have its moments and for the most part the performances were passable, and a couple others respectable.

Official Secrets has solid performances from a respectable cast, led way by Keira Knightley and while I wasn’t terribly involved with this true story, this is still worth checking out if you’re into these kinds of movies.
Flowers in the Attic is a movie prior I had heard of but never had much desire to see, and while the film had its problems, but the performances by the cast, particularly Louise Fletcher, were impressive.
Leave it to Vinegar Syndrome to dredge up a movie like Berserker but there is something charming about this D-movie, yes it’s a tad dull at times and a weird mix of Nordic lore and 1980s slasher, but I found it fairly entertaining for what it is.
The Big Bang Theory never was a favorite sitcom for me but seemed to have a consistent 12 season run thanks in large part to the (mostly) fun ensemble cast.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold was a movie I was not looking forward to as often this is not my kind of humor and there are a few cringy moments, yet the third act was surprisingly enjoyable, reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Satanic Panic certainly has the feel of the horror-comedies of the 1970s and while there are some out-there, even insane, but there were times it slowed down a bit too much, though the performances by Hayley Griffith, Ruby Modine and Rebecca Romijn were great.
The Lion King is one of the most lazily impressive movies and it’s yet another pointless live action remake that only solidifies Disney’s warpath to re-imagining their animated classics as it went well past the $1 billion mark.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a sequel to the 2017 surprise hit which I more or less enjoyed, but this one was really trying as all of these main characters were the ones who put themselves in the predicament, although perhaps that is the most realistic aspect.
