Ultraman, which is the Series 2 of the franchise, is another fun season with for sure some outlandish story elements but a cool mash-up of the likes of X-Files, Twin Speaks and The Twilight Zone.

Ultra Q: Complete Series 01
Ultra Q: Series 01 isn’t a series I ever really heard of, but I’m also hardly an expert on Japanese television either, so going in to this for the first time, this was a pretty cool show, kind of a combination of The X-Files with Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone.
Scarface: The World is Yours – Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
Scarface might not rank up there with other classics in the crime-drama genre, but it’s a great film combining the talents of Oliver Stone’s scriptwriting and Brian De Palma’s direction, alongside the performances by Pacino, Pfeiffer and Mastrantonio.

Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle Blu-ray Review
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle exemplifies the early 2000s so damn well, and yes I realize McG was parodying the action schlock from that time period (like M:I2) but doesn’t do it very well, or at least the humor rarely lands.

Red Heat 4K Ultra HD Review
Red Heat is a sometimes engaging and entertaining 1980s-era actioner but the pairing of Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Belushi never had much of on-screen chemistry, though if you’re a fan of action schlock, probably worth checking out.
Star Trek: Picard Movie & TV Collection Blu-ray Review
The Star Trek: Picard – Movie & TV Collection is not a release for fans of the franchise but those who have a low or at best moderate interest in the series but never purchased the original TNG movie collection.

Crawl Blu-ray Review
If there’s such a thing as a breezy thriller, Crawl would be it. There might not be much of a story but I was at least moderately entertained thanks to Kaya Scodelario’s physically demanding performance and thus this is probably worthy of a rental.
A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish Blu-ray Review
A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish is the fifth in the series and for the most part, these are pretty innocent that younger viewers might love.

An American Werewolf in London: Limited Edition Blu-ray Review
While An American Werewolf in London wasn’t quite the cult classic some feel it is, but it is quite entertaining experience with a good performance from David Naughton alongside some respectable make-up and special effects.

Toy Story 4 Blu-ray Review
Toy Story 4, while hardly the best in the franchise, is still a great bookend, maybe not so much for the group as a whole, but instead for the beloved Woody character and in turn, the life Tom Hanks gave him.
Angel of Mine Blu-ray Review
Angel of Mine is a mixed bag, though I tilt it towards being worthy of a rental as the performances from both Rapace and Strahovski were top-notch and most of the film was a masterstroke of great character-driven psychological suspense-thriller.
Night Hunter Blu-ray Review
In spite of a fairly respectable cast, most notably Henry Cavill who took the role post-Superman, Night Hunter feels like a story that the folks over at Criminal Minds rejected.
The Omen Collection: Deluxe Edition Blu-ray Review
This is another great release from Shout Factory and although some of the films are far from perfect and even taking into consideration that I’m generally not always the biggest fan of the supernatural-horror genre, this is still worth picking up for any completists out there.

The Omen (2006) Blu-ray Review
There really is no reason to bother with The Omen (2006) as it offers nothing new to the 1976 version and while I wasn’t over the moon with that movie, it is still well worth watching as it is the original and did at least feature some quality performances.
Omen IV: The Awakening Blu-ray Review
Although I don’t hold The Omen in as high regards to some as I never found the plot itself all that enegaing, the film does have its moments and genuine creepiness and a bit of a dark fun factor going for it.
