Age of Consent/Cactus Flower Blu-ray Review

This double feature release of Age of Consent, with Helen Mirren, and Cactus Flower starring a trio of great talents in Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman and Goldie Hawn (who took home an Oscar for her role), makes for a fun time.

Nightwing/Shadow of the Hawk Blu-ray Review

Nightwing and Shadow of the Hawk might not be great movies, but each has their own bit of charm, I suppose. The performances from the cast made the most out of the material, especially on Nightwing and I’d say they’re worth a look

The Satanic Rites of Dracula Blu-ray Review

The Satanic Rites of Dracula is a fun little horror-thriller that places two amazing veteran actors together in Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, the latter once again portraying one of the best cinematic villains in Dracula.

Benji: Off the Leash Blu-ray Review

Benji: Off the Leash is an okay family-centric addition to the long-running series that began in 1977 with a reboot having been released in 2018 from Blumhouse. Again, it’s solid enough though the style of humor was never my thing.

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis – Commemorative Edition 4K Ultra HD Review

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis is not DCUA’s best output to date but it’s a perfectly entertaining film with a few flaws, primarily the limited running time. But the voice casting is mostly good, even Jason O’Mara, and on the whole I enjoyed it and some of the darker humor.

Kin 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review

Kin is a nice little drama-science fiction flick but is a victim of a bit of overreaction based on its initial trailer. That said, it is enjoyable enough even when you get a finale that felt like the end of the pilot episode.

The Nun Blu-ray Review

Very faint praise perhaps, but The Nun is perhaps the better of the three spin-ff movies? Yes, I meant a question mark there… It has a decent atmosphere to it, taking advantage of the Romanian landscape and creepy abbey. Having said that, it is at times pretty dull.

The Marine 6: Close Quarters Blu-ray Review

The Marine 6: Close Quarters actually wasn’t a terrible movie and might be a step above the previous entries if only for a couple moments that were actually surprising and unpredictable.

Out of Time: Special Edition Blu-ray Review

Out of Time is a serviceable suspense-thriller mainly for the charisma of its cast, primarily Denzel Washington and to some extent, Eva Mendes, as well as John Billingsley in the comedy relief role.

Basic Instinct 2: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review

Basic Instinct 2 might be bad but it’s also hardly terrible either and I will give some credit to both Sharon Stone and David Morrissey for wading through some lurid dialogue and a mindless plot.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review

Mission: Impossible – Fallout is another rounding success in this long-running franchise and for actor Tom Cruise himself who continues to push it up a notch with the action sequences and stunts to go along with a strong enough story to carry it across the finish line.
