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.

Tell Me a Story: Season One DVD Review
Tell Me a Story: Season One is an entertaining television series from the CBS All Access streaming service with a fun premise and an interesting enough of a concept worth checking out now on DVD.
The Shining 4K Ultra HD Review
The Shining is a great and eerie atmospheric horror-thriller that might feature Jack Nicholson’s best performance, at least early on, only later when going full-on psycho, but still an entertaining flick from Stanley Kubrick.
Hawaii FIve-O: The Ninth Season DVD Review
The Ninth Season of Hawaii Five-O is solid enough entertainment but the series has grown a bit tired at times, however I do still like the ensemble cast.

Awake Blu-ray Review
I was a little disappointed in Awake as I am usually a fan of the crime-drama genre, however the convoluted and contrived plot was too much to ignore, though I do like seeing Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a leading role.
Gremlins 4K Ultra HD Review
Gremlins is a very good mid-80s film that I might not have loved but still an enjoyable viewing experience every time I’ve seen it over the years, and has excellent special effects with the Mogwais.
Pan’s Labyrinth 4K Ultra HD Review
Pan’s Labyrinth is an amazingly creative movie from filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and while I’m not totally in love with it, the visuals combined with a deeply tragic setting, the film does resonate.
Inside Man: Most Wanted Blu-ray Review
Inside Man: Most Wanted might not be great and pales in comparison to its predecessor, but I suppose it is mildly entertaining for what it is and I do appreciate it didn’t shy away from a connection to the first movie.
Shaft (2019) Blu-ray Review
Shaft is a movie I went with minimal expectations so on those grounds, I guess it exceeded them, and honestly there were some genially entertaining moments and Samuel L. Jackson, and to a lesser extent Richard Roundtree, were the highlights of the film.
Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island DVD Review
Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island is yet another fine direct-to-video movie that really doesn’t stand out all that much from the others at this point, but being only 80-minutes, does make for a quick viewing.
