The Final Word on Physical Media
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 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..

House of Gucci is hardly a bad movie but it is unnecessarily long and I personally found the Italian accents from most of the cast to be a bit cartoonish, and I don’t believe that was Ridley Scott’s intention.
Supergirl: The Complete Sixth Season is the final year of the CW series starring Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, Katie McGrath and David Harewood.

Shattered is a forgettable suspense-thriller although I did think both Cameron Monaghan and newcomer Lilly Krug were decent enough in the leads and maybe this is worth a watch when it’s available for free down the line.
Love Affair is the 1939 romantic-drama that pre-dated An Affair to Remember which is better known by most. This version stars Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer and the Blu-ray receives a much needed new video and audio transfers.

Dangerous is just another run-of-the-mill direct-to-video film that had its moments and at least was moderately entertaining if only for Scott Eastwood and Mel Gibson in his brief screen time.
The 355 is a movie that feels awfully familiar from beginning to end and although I can respect some of the action scenes and stunt work, there’s really not very much here that was entertaining with a thin plot and characters.
American Underdog is a well made romantic-sports-drama that features some wonderful performances with Zachary Levi and Anna Paquin and tells a lovely story that will appeal to sports and non-sports fans alike.
The Final Option comes to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber and includes an audio commentary, featurette and theatrical trailer. The Blu-ray was released on February 15th.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a satisfying third film (can even call this a trilogy) and while the fan service was just a tad much, I still enjoyed the film and there was enough there where it stands on its own.
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins probably has a decent concept but the execution wasn’t the best and Fred Ward, as fine of a character he might be, doesn’t quite work in the lead. Still, there is some entertainment value.

La Dolce Vita is considered by many as a masterpiece and while I certainly “get” what Federico Fellini was going for, I just didn’t find it all that interesting or especially engaging, barely managing to sit through the nearly 3-hour running time.
Deadly Games was more deadly boring than anything else. The characters were generally annoying and the kills on the duller side. This is your typical ‘forgotten’ horror-slasher born out of the early 80s.
