Scream VI, while satisfying enough as a horror-slasher time-waster, is one of the weaker entries and is probably on par with last year’s addition, so if that one wasn’t to your taste, this one might not change your mind on the current filmmakers.

The Truman Show 4K Ultra HD Review
The Truman Show is a great movie and has staying power in the age we live in and features a wonderful performance from Jim Carrey showing his range and ability to do dramatic roles as well as comedy.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 4K Ultra HD Review
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is an entertaining movie although it is the throwaway variety of entertainment as it’s easily forgotten soon after it’s over, but while watching, I did have fun with the ensemble cast.

John Wick: Chapter 4 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
John Wick: Chapter 4 isn’t the strongest entry in the series but still highly entertaining if not a bit on the lengthy side. Keanu Reeves is still in his element as are the stunts and action scenes under Chad Stahelski’s direction.

Evil Dead Rise 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Evil Dead Rise is a decent entry into the franchise that features some great gore effects, during the finale especially. As someone who is only a moderate fan of the series, I found this was to be entertaining but nothing terribly memorable.

National Lampoon’s Vacation 4K Ultra HD Review
Vacation is a movie that I’ve seen numerous times and it still manages to make me laugh. In regards to this 4K UHD release, the video transfer is adequate but hardly amazing and the hour-long documentary is missing.

Shazam: Fury of the Gods 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Shazam: Fury of the Gods is a perfectly entertaining time-waster (frankly, not unlike Black Adam) but it does lack the charm of its predecessor, however Zachary Levi still is great in the lead.

Dragonslayer 4K Ultra HD Review
Dragonslayer is a classic 1980s fantasy-adventure film made with the rise and popularity of the “Dungeons and Dragons” card game. This 4K Ultra HD release comes with an hour-long featurette, trailer, screen tests and commentary track.
Transformers: Limited Edition Steelbooks 6-Movie Collection
The Transformers franchise is hardly great with maybe only the first two being passably entertaining, the rest just action-porn with non-sensical plot and CGI vs. CGI fights that were more tiresome rather than exciting.

Superman: 5-Film Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
The Superman: 5-Film Collection has four movies making their debuts on 4K, though really only two of them are worth a damn. I suppose if you’re a Superman fan, maybe it’s worth it, but probably only when it’s on sale.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace 4K Ultra HD Review
The less said about Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, the better. It was a misfire from the go and even the charms of Christopher Reeve could make this watchable.

Superman III 4K Ultra HD Review
Superman III was pretty much the beginning of the end of the Superman franchise. It’s not terrible but not very good either, moving to full-on goofy humor (versus a more wholesome variety of the first film), and an awful villain.
