Scream 2022 is a decent entry into the now vaunted franchise. The kills are gorier than ever and the new cast actually mostly work and it’s nice to see the three legacy cast members back one more time even if their roles are on the limited side.

Schizoid/X-Ray 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Neither Schizoid or X-Ray are very good movies yet they’re at least watchable and even a bit of trashy fun at times, and probably better suited for group viewing for an “MST3K” style setting.

The Sword and the Sorcerer 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
While movies like The Sword and the Sorcerer aren’t really my thing (that includes Excalibur), but it was at least an enjoyable little flick with respectable make-up and production designs.

An American Werewolf in London 4K Ultra HD Review
While An American Werewolf in London wasn’t quite the cult classic some feel it is, but it is quite entertaining experience with a good performance from David Naughton alongside some respectable make-up and special effects.

The Godfather Trilogy 4K Ultra HD Review
The Godfather Trilogy is another (almost) great set from Paramount with a plethora of bonus features and excellent video and audio transfers. My only qualm is, like the DVD set, they’ve gone back to the cardboard digi-pak which means you’re SOL if any of them get damaged.
Shooter 4K Ultra HD Review
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.
