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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
Maniac Cop 2 is by no means great, but still has some entertainment value with some decent stunt work even if the story doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
I Spit on Your Grave is certainly one of the more uncomfortable movies to come out of the 1970s and while it’s not ‘entertaining’, there are aspects to respect like the atmosphere along with a brave performance from Camille Keaton.
The Hills Have Eyes is by no means a favorite horror movie of mine despite being directed by the great Wes Craven, but it is certainly watchable with some respectable production value for the low budget along with decent enough performances.
The Middle-Earth: Ultimate Collector’s Edition set is a nice looking collection and a unique packaging that looks good on a bookshelf. The new features are fine and all and glad all of the commentaries are there, but disappointing that none of the extensive supplements were ported over.
Children of the Corn is by no means a good movie or anything, but the cheesiness does make it entertaining even if there isn’t anything particularly scary.
