Hellbound: Hellraiser II is a lesser movie than its predecessor for sure, but still was just enough bonkers to make it rather entertaining, though we only get a slight glimpse into the origins of the Cenobites.

Hellraiser Blu-ray Review
Hellraiser normally isn’t my kind of horror movie but still, had plenty of entertainment value even if the plot itself was a bit of a mess at times and the Cenobites, which were interesting designs, didn’t have nearly enough screen time.
Anna 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Anna might not break new ground and could be considered a second-rate La Femme Nikita or, more recently, Atomic Blonde, but it still was rather entertaining and Sasha Luss in her first major role actually was pretty decent.
Fear No Evil Blu-ray Review
Fear No Evil is not a great movie and certainly rather cheesy especially when it came to the make-up effects but there is a certain amount of fun to be had even if, personally, these supernatural-horror films aren’t my thing.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is by no means terrible but it certainly is a weak ending to a franchise and the main issue with this movie is lacked any real emotion, even though the technical aspects weren’t bad.

Supergirl: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-ray Review
Supergirl: The Complete Fourth Season might on the heavy-handed side in its dealings with current events, but even so the performances for the most part have been respectable especially from Melissa Benoist who embodies the role so well.

Arrow: The Complete Seventh Season Blu-ray Review
Arrow: The Complete Seventh Season isn’t a marked improvement over the past few seasons but at least a bit more entertaining and a tighter storyline that I actually enjoyed for the most part.

Vampires: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Vampires isn’t a great horror movie and certainly not top shelf in John Carpenter’s vast resume, but it does have its moments, including a fun performance from James Woods, and an interesting, even unique, origin of the vampires.

NOVA: The Planets Blu-ray Review
NOVA: The Planets is an alright documentary series though I have seen better produced from The Science Channel and the like, though this is still well worth checking out for anyone interested in our outer-space neighbors.
Into the Ashes Blu-ray Review
Into the Ashes had some potential but the first 35-40 minutes were meandering at best, dull at worst and nothing in the remaining hour could make up for it, though even then, some storytelling choices were a bit odd.
Aladdin (1992) Blu-ray Review
The Aladdin: Signature Collection Blu-ray is virtually the same from the Diamond Edition from four years ago, though this is a nice set if you don’t already own that version as the video and audio transfers are both excellent and the bonus material were at least fine.
Aniara Blu-ray Review
Aniara to say the least isn’t exactly a feel good movie of the year, but it is at times haunting, if not depressingly beautiful… The acting is quite strong from the core cast, primarily Emelie Jonsson and Bianca Cruzeiro.
Magnificent Obsession: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
Magnificent Obsession is a wonderful romantic drama featuring two great performances by Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman (who was nominated for an Academy Award), beautifully shot by director Douglas Sirk.

Blue Bloods: The Ninth Season DVD Review
Blue Bloods: The Ninth Season has some decent dramatic moments and I do enjoy the cast, primarily Tom Selleck though the others amongst the ensemble hold their own.
Do or Die Blu-ray Review
Do or Die is just another poorly made action-adventure film from Andy Sidaris and while yes most of it is rather bad, I did have a little fun watching and can imagine this would make for a great MST3K night with a bunch of friends.
