Willard is a creepy enough adaptation that works thanks to Crispin Glover’s wonderfully creepy performance, perhaps his best role.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is another lackluster movie of this new franchise that, especially when we go to Hogwarts for a short time, made me wish I was watching the Harry Potter franchise instead of this one.

Kalifornia: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Kalifornia is one hell of a road trip of a movie that excels thanks two amazing performances from Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis, and if this film had found any traction, Pitt at the very least should’ve gotten an Oscar nomination.

Do It Yourself DVD Review
Do It Yourself is a bit of a gem of a film and one of the reasons I love reviewing movies because it’s highly doubtful, damn-new impossible, I would have ever seen this movie otherwise.
Barb Wire Blu-ray Review
Barb Wire had the potential to be a wild, bat-s insane sci-fi actioner and instead we get a sloppily edited movie with some poor performances combined with a bad script and pedestrian directing.
Starsky & Hutch Blu-ray Review
Starsky & Hutch is one of the better, for what it’s worth, TV-to-film adaptations as Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson were great together and the humor mostly landed and seeing this 15 years later was a lot of fun.
Bohemian Rhapsody 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
There’s no doubt Queen is a true hall of fame band and Freddie Mercury a transformative musician, but this bio-pic, while well produced and finely acted, feels a bit sterilized relaying Mercury’s life but keeping it within the PG-13 realm.

There’s Nothing Out There Blu-ray Review
There’s Nothing Out There isn’t great B-movie horror or anything yet there is a fun element to these independently made films where there is a lot of passion both in front of and behind the camera.
Creed II 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Creed II is another brilliant entry into the Rocky franchise and features a great performance from Michael B. Jordan with some solid work by Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson.
All the Devil’s Men Blu-ray Review
All the Devil’s Men is actually not terrible. But it’s not very good either, though maybe in the hands of more experienced filmmakers, might have made for a passable, if not forgettable, spy-thriller.
The Key to Rebecca DVD Review
The Key to Rebecca is a well made World War II made-for-TV drama that comes to DVD for the first time courtesy of CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.
In the Heat of the Night (Criterion Collection) Blu-ray Review
In the Heat of the Night is a wonderful and culturally important film from the 1960s and while I don’t think it’s among Sidney Poitier’s best, with To Sir, With Love being my favorite of his, but it still is a great performance alongside Rod Steiger.

The Mole People Blu-ray Review
The Mole People is a cheesy B-level science fiction film from the 1950s and although it’s certainly not good, the movie is not without its charms.
Robin Hood 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Robin Hood is hardly a terrible movie, it did have some passion behind-the-scenes and I did genuinely like Jamie Foxx as John, but most everything else makes you wonder: what’s the point of a big budget movie like this?
Astro Boy: The Complete Series (2003) DVD Review
Astro Boy was never a series, in any of the incarnations, that I ever watched and this one from 2003 was… fine with some entertainment value.
