Shooter is a film that works with Mark Wahlberg’s strengths as an action hero and combined with the fine direction by Antoine Fuqua makes this worth checking out if you hadn’t already in the 15 years since the release.

The Matrix Resurrections 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
The Matrix Resurrections is far from terrible and it’s not the worst amongst the sequels, but it can’t recapture the magic of the original, however I did like the movie whenever Reeves and Moss were onscreen together.

Alligator: Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Alligator isn’t a half-bad movie with its cheesy moments and some respectable makeup effects, not to mention the charisma from Robert Forster in a lead role. Don’t know how much replay value it has, though it does provide a fun time.

Madman: Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
Madman might not have been great and was a Friday the 13th knock-off but I can appreciate some parts and it’s not a complete waste of time, however the down moments were pretty boring, and bland characters..

Escape from L.A. 4K Ultra HD Review
Escape from L.A. seems to blend together 1980s and 1990s cheese with a mixture of success while others are just too much, though Kurt Russell is still great as Snake. I will say, this one at least does have some replay value.
Catwoman: Hunted 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Catwoman: Hunted might not be top shelf entertainment from the DC Animated line but still was passable with some good artwork and voice acting by Elizabeth Gillies in the lead.

Dead Heat 4K Ultra HD Review
Dead Heat is an all-around fun 1980s dark comedy horror film featuring some impressive makeup effects along with entertaining performances from Williams and Piscopo.
Halloween Kills 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Halloween Kills is an ill-conceived follow-up to 2018’s Halloween which itself was an ill-conceived sequel to the 1978 original. There’s not much here to admire outside a couple technical aspects, and it doesn’t give me much hope for Halloween Ends.

The Toolbox Murders 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
The Toolbox Murders is a mediocre slasher where the mystery element goes by the wayside halfway through (not that the identity isn’t hard to tell) but features a creepily fun performance by the great Cameron Mitchell.

Dune (2021) 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Dune is a movie that has plenty of technical achievements by director Denis Villeneuve and his team but very little emotion at its core, even with a respectable cast.

Krampus: The Naughty Cut 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Krampus I’m sure has its fanbase and while the movie has its moments, along with some respectable effects, I wasn’t terribly enamored finding this to be only moderately entertaining with no real standouts.

The Red Shoes 4K Ultra HD Review
The Red Shoes normally isn’t my sort of movie, namely a musical not to mention a ballet musical, but I can admire the direction, cinematography and the performances from two leads.
The Silence of the Lambs 4K Ultra HD Review
The Silence of the Lambs is easily one of my favorite movies of all-time (top 10) and is probably The Godfather of the suspense-thriller genre with incredible performances from Foster, Hopkins and Levine and an all-around great experience.

No Time to Die 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
No Time to Die is a fitting finale to the Daniel Craig era as James Bond and while I personally still love Pierce Brosnan mainly because I grew up during his reign, Craig brought his own style to the longtime character and for the most part delivered a high-quality selection of movies.

Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence 4K Ultra HD Review
Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence is one of those movies where the behind-the-scenes drama is probably far more interesting than the movie itself, which was a patchwork mess that isn’t very entertaining.
