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.
General Commander DVD Review
General Commander is just another poorly made and all around lazy action-thriller from Steven Seagal who gave up on quality work in well over a decade, this one is no different where he seems to sit around most of the time.
Trapped Alive Blu-ray Review
Trapped Alive is a middling and ultimately dull horror-fantasy-thriller and it’s really not hard to see why this didn’t really see the light of day over the past 20+ years, still fans of the subterranean monster film might get something out of this.
Double Team Blu-ray Review
Double Team is a poorly made, half-baked action-thriller though the biggest sin was how some producer or studio head thought it was a good idea to pair up an action falling star with a rainbow colored ex-NBA player.
My Nights with Susan, Sandra, Olga & Julie Blu-ray Review
My Nights with Susan, Sandra, Olga & Julie is a very interesting 1970s-era erotic-suspense-drama out of the Netherlands and features some decent enough performances, particularly from Willeke van Ammelrooy.

Crypto Blu-ray Review
Crypto isn’t a terrible movie but like most films in the Grindstone Entertainment portfolio might have a kernel of an interesting story, just not materialized thanks to the script writing, pedestrian direction and relatively cheap budget.
Satan’s Slave Blu-ray Review
Satan’s Slave is a pretty laughably bad movie that at times was bewildering at times and features Michael Gough in a villainous role, though the performances from Potter and Glendenning was wildly on one end or the other.
