Paradise Road is a movie that has a powerful message and honestly isn’t a bad film with fine performances but in the end never quite makes the impact it was intending and instead was on the forgettable side.

Cool World: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Cool World was an interesting concept and had some fun visuals but the characters were as thinly developed and the story felt sloppy, if not also uninteresting. Had potential but the end result was a mess and not a surprise why I never bothered to re-watch since its release.

The Black Phone Blu-ray Review
The Black Phone is a solid horror-thriller and box office wise another hit from Blumhouse, however I wasn’t quite as enamored compared to others as it got repetitive at times. That being said, I was entertained and Ethan Hawke’s performance was pretty scary.

White Elephant Blu-ray Review
As these direct-to-video flicks go, White Elephant at least had some elements of a stable production and I will say Michael Rooker was good in the lead while the supporting actors didn’t have a whole lot to work with

Steele Justice Blu-ray Review
Steele Justice based on the title alone should’ve made for a fun and entertaining action schlock and while there were elements, there wasn’t enough to make this a worthwhile viewing especially with a lead that had no personality.
Vampire’s Kiss: MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Review
Vampire’s Kiss was one hell of an experience and after some momentary bewilderment of what I was watching, and in particular Nicolas Cage’s wild performance, I was full-on in with this masterpiece that generated many memes.

Ants! Blu-ray Review
Ants is another eco-horror thriller TV movie from the late 1970s and is pretty much on par with the likes of Tarantulas and Terror Out of the Sky, meaning passably entertaining but not much more than that.
