The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is a perfectly fine film for the entire family but it certainly lacked not only the freshness of the first film but also the focus.

Fighting with My Family Blu-ray Review
Fighting with My Family is a surprisingly well done biographic drama featuring a transformative performance from Florence Pugh aided by a great supporting cast including Nick Frost and Lena Headey as Paige’s brash but loveable parents.
The Charmer DVD Review
The Charmer is a, well, charming little romance-drama featuring two lovely performances from its leads, Ardalan Esmaili and Soho Rezanejad who do carry the film rather well.
Backdraft 2 Blu-ray Review
Backdraft 2 isn’t great but at least I found it to be a serviceable enough of a direct-to-video sequel that I’m not sure many were exactly clamoring for, especially when you’ve got Chicago Fire that can quench the thirst for the fire-mystery subgenre.
Ghosts of Mars Blu-ray Review
With an incredibly stupid story, bad visual effects, and some terrible acting ever imagined possible, Ghost of Mars will go down in history as one of the worst Sci-Fi/Horror around. Kind of surprising this is came from the legendary John Carpenter.
Bonanza: The Official Ninth Season: Volumes 1 & 2 DVD Review
Bonanza: Season Nine is a fine enough season but as someone who isn’t the biggest fan of westerns in general and haven’t really cared enough about the show to keep up over the course of nine seasons, but the restoration work from CBS was well done.

Finding Joy DVD Review
Finding Joy is an endearing and charming drama featuring some sharp writing and a great performance from co-creator Amy Huberman.
The Kid Who Would Be King Blu-ray Review
The Kid Who Would Be King is a decent enough, family-oriented fantasy film that takes the old tales bringing it to a newer generation.
Serenity Blu-ray Review
Serenity is certainly an oddball of a movie and although certainly the terrible critical reception didn’t help, it’s no wonder why the studio probably had a hell of time on how to market this.
Alien: 40th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD Review
Alien is of course a sci-fi/horror classic and obviously a cash cow for the studio with numerous re-releases on various formats and now it has come to 4K UHD and it does look excellent and ported over an already great lossless track.

Dark River Blu-ray Review
Dark River is a very well acted British-drama with some beautiful cinematography showcasing the North Yorkshire countryside and features a great performance from Ruth Wilson.
The Hole in the Ground DVD Review
The Hole in the Ground is a gem of a horror-thriller featuring a tremendous performance from Seána Kerslake whom I hope to see more of especially Stateside.
The Suckling Blu-ray Review
Imagine a movie called The Suckling wasn’t very good, even in the age old so bad, it’s good. The acting is poor and story non-existent but I suppose for your indie horror purists, you might get something out of this.
My Scientology Movie DVD Review
My Scientology Movie does deliver some good laughs though it doesn’t really give much more insights into the organization than has already been examined with Going Clear.
Superstition Blu-ray Review
Admittedly these supernatural-horror movies aren’t generally my thing and Superstition is no different and despite some okay performances and the filmmakers doing the best they can with a thin script, this is not even close to be worthy of a rental.
