Stan & Ollie is a nice little biographical drama-comedy with good performances from its leads, Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly.

The Deadly Mantis Blu-ray Review
The Deadly Mantis is a bit of a lame 1950s sci-fi-fantasy film that is more boring though some of the small scale scenes with the mantis wasn’t half bad at least, it was far more interesting watching the “MST3K” episode included than the movie itself…
The Witches Blu-ray Review
The Witches features a fine performance from Joan Fontaine but the story isn’t very engaging, even a little disjointed at times, though on the plus side, it is a different kind of Hammer picture.
King of Thieves Blu-ray Review
King of Thieves had an interesting true story premise for sure and while the cast itself is filled with some legendary older actors, the script writing needed some work, the direction was pedestrian and seems like Michael Caine was miscast.
The Street Fighter Collection Blu-ray Review
The Street Fighter Collection is a decent introduction to the martial arts genre and while none of them are truly ‘good’, I did find the first movie to be a lot of fun, the third one being so-so while the sequel was rather dull.

Accident Blu-ray Review
Accident was poorly conceived made worse thanks to stilted dialogue and some rather poor acting from the cast. The two leading ladies might be, ahem, nicely put together, and the director certainly gratuitously flaunts them but acting was not their strong suits.
A Woman of Affairs DVD Review
A Woman of Affairs was technically based on the novel “The Green Hat” but due to censorship, the story was changed so much it apparently bared little resemblance (kind of makes me wonder if the book might be due for a new adaptation).
Strip Nude for Your Killer (Arrow Video) Blu-ray Review
Strip Nude for Your Killer was if anything dull and not very engaging, though at least lead actress Edwige Fenech was a lot of fun. It has its moments, however and might be worth taking a chance, just know you’re not getting classic giallo.

Dynasties 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Dynasties is an incredibly well made documentary mini-series featuring engaging storylines with the animals and with only 5 episodes, this is worth binge-watching over the course of a day.
Aquaman 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Aquaman is an outrageously fun superhero movie that might not break new ground in terms of story, it does introduce audiences to a relatively unexplored world. Jason Momoa was the perfect casting of a character that was once a joke.
The Vanishing Blu-ray Review
The Vanishing is a well made if not also rather forgettable drama/psychological thriller that excels due to the performances from Gerard Butler and Peter Mullan making this worthy of a Red Box rental.
Nemesis 2/3/4 Triple Feature Blu-ray Review
The Nemesis sequel trilogy set is three pretty poor movies, not that the first film was some gem, however these movies don’t have much charm to them.

Out of Love DVD Review
Out of Love is a nice little romance-drama, recounting the ups and downs of a couple from a sweet meeting through their relationship with good performances from Naomi Velissariou and Danil Vorobyev.
London Fields DVD Review
London Fields bar none is one of the worst films I’ve come across in the last few years with a terrible screenplay unaided by either stilted acting from the likes of Thornton and Heard to Sturgess chewing the hell out of every scene he was in.
Lord of War 4K Ultra HD Review
When I last saw Lord of War 13.5 years ago, I wasn’t completely enamored beyond the acting and… my opinion roughly remains the same, some solid performances though I guess I was more engrossed with the story this go around.
