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.
Omen III: The Final Conflict Blu-ray Review
Omen III: The Final Conflict is a half-baked horror-thriller that had its moments for sure, with the wonderful Sam Neill in one of his early films in his career.

Damien: Omen II Blu-ray Review
I actually enjoyed Damien: Omen II ever so slightly more than the first film, but it’s not without its problems, that being some of the editing and pacing, though Jonathan Scott-Taylor actually wasn’t bad as Damien.
The Omen (1976) 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.
Killer Nun Blu-ray Review
Killer Nun is a messy horror film under the ‘nunsploitation’ label though outside of a sometimes intense performance from Anita Ekberg and some interesting moments here and there, this never quite captured my attention.
Annabelle Comes Home Blu-ray Review
Annabelle Comes Home is the finale in what can only be described a poor and clichéd spin-off series, despite some of the more technical accomplishments, thwarted by bad, lazy scripts.
Charmed: Season One DVD Review
I never was an avid watcher of the original Charmed series but watched a few episodes here and there, but generally enjoyed it. This newest version seems to have richer production values but I haven’t yet bought in to the core trio, but there is room to grow.
Gwen Blu-ray Review
Gwen shares some similarities with the The Witch mostly with the slow burn aspects and remote landscape and time early time period. I wasn’t a fan of The Witch and didn’t think much of this film.
Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues: Complete Collection Blu-ray Review
Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues: Complete Collection is an interesting though fun anime series with your usual ‘zany’ moments, but has its moments and is set apart compared with some of its anime counterparts.

Initial D: Theatrical Collection (Legend 1/2/3) Blu-ray Review
Initial D: Theatrical Collection is a good set for fans of the series, giving all three films on one disc and although it does have plenty of the anime tropes, I did enjoy the movies for what they are.
