2047: Virtual Revolution was a surprisingly solid sci-fi action-thriller that does heavily borrow from Blade Runner and even The Matrix, but I had a lot of fun and was thoroughly engaged until the end.

Tsunambee DVD Review
Tsunambee of course was bad but unlike Sharknado and movies like it, there was a certain fun factor but this one was just terrible with nothing positive thing I can say.
Animalistic DVD Review
Animalistic is hardly an “enjoyable” film and doesn’t really stand out even amongst the revenge films that have come before like I Spit on Your Grave (including a remakes and sequels) but I will say for the most part Hanna Oldenburg wasn’t too bad.
Scrawl DVD Review
The more appropriate title for Scrawl should have been “Scattershot” instead with an awfully confusing plot from the get-go. The only reason this is now receiving any more attention is it does feature a pre-Star Wars Daisy Ridley.
Hi-Death DVD Review
Hi-Death is an anthology movie that has many of the pratfalls of others where most of the segments are garbage with one or maybe two having some value but here even the ones were decent, it’s cancelled out due to the cheap looking production.
The Green Inferno: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
The Green Inferno certainly has its moments and not entirely unwatchable, but it does have many of the staples of an Eli Roth film, most notable wholly unlikeable characters, though I did enjoy Lorenza Izzo’s performance.

The Sitter DVD Review
The Sitter did have some potential wasted due to a poor script though the performance from star Aisling Knight was probably lone bright spot.
The New York Ripper Blu-ray Review
The New York Ripper is hardly perfect but does have some interesting elements, most notably a serial killer who quacks like a duck, comes across more bizarre than scary or even creepy.
The Illusionist Blu-ray Review
For me, The Illusionist is a better film than The Prestige if only very slightly, but because both films came out the same year, it has been in many ways overshadowed.
Never Grow Old Blu-ray Review
Never Grow Old isn’t an especially memorable Western-drama though Emile Hirsch holds his own in the lead while John Cusack I suppose does his best with a thin role, even so, he does come across as bored versus menacing.
The Haunting of Sharon Tate Blu-ray Review
The Haunting of Sharon Tate was just a bad idea from the beginning and even if it didn’t poorly exploit the real life tragedy by interjecting an almost fantasy element, the technical aspects were pretty bad as well.

Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Turtles is a great mash-up for any fan but as someone who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, this was a lot of fun even if the Turtles’ designs weren’t my favorite, but was able to ignore as the humor was on point.

The Entity Blu-ray Review
The Entity to say the least is a unique and pretty graphic supernatural-thriller that features a brave performance from Barbara Hershey and although it’s far from perfect, definitely worth checking out.
Double Face Blu-ray Review
Double Face is normally the kind of movie up my alley. The murder-mystery is a bit uneven with the pacing and editing, but even so, I did like Klaus Kinski’s performance and it did at least keep my attention through the end.
A Vigilante Blu-ray Review
A Vigilante had good intentions but thanks to the slow and awkward delivery of a familiar story, that it was tough to sit through but for the wrong reasons. The only redeeming value I could find was Olivia Wilde’s emotional performance.
