The biggest advantage Virgin Cheerleaders in Chains has was… its title. This micro-budgeted horror-comedy did have its moments and for the most part the performances were passable, and a couple others respectable.

Flowers in the Attic is a movie prior I had heard of but never had much desire to see, and while the film had its problems, but the performances by the cast, particularly Louise Fletcher, were impressive.
Leave it to Vinegar Syndrome to dredge up a movie like Berserker but there is something charming about this D-movie, yes it’s a tad dull at times and a weird mix of Nordic lore and 1980s slasher, but I found it fairly entertaining for what it is.
The Big Bang Theory never was a favorite sitcom for me but seemed to have a consistent 12 season run thanks in large part to the (mostly) fun ensemble cast.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold was a movie I was not looking forward to as often this is not my kind of humor and there are a few cringy moments, yet the third act was surprisingly enjoyable, reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Satanic Panic certainly has the feel of the horror-comedies of the 1970s and while there are some out-there, even insane, but there were times it slowed down a bit too much, though the performances by Hayley Griffith, Ruby Modine and Rebecca Romijn were great.
The Lion King is one of the most lazily impressive movies and it’s yet another pointless live action remake that only solidifies Disney’s warpath to re-imagining their animated classics as it went well past the $1 billion mark.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a sequel to the 2017 surprise hit which I more or less enjoyed, but this one was really trying as all of these main characters were the ones who put themselves in the predicament, although perhaps that is the most realistic aspect.
Two Evil Eyes puts together two of the most prominent horror directors, George Romero and Dario Argento and while the movie is far from perfect, and I did have a preference for Romero’s The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdermar, but The Black Cat had its moments as well.

The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a pointless but ultimately harmless sequel that the kids will enjoy and adults with kids can watch with them and not want to gauge their eyes out and the humor itself is on the obvious plain but fine.
Hobbs & Shaw is a weak entry within the franchise for sure and although I do like both Johnson and Statham and their respective characters, but having them bickering at one another reminded me that perhaps less is more.

I never really watched the original run of Veronica Mars outside of a clip here and there, so going in I didn’t really have any warm memories though I know some avid fans didn’t care for this revival but for me, I found it passably entertaining.

The Ringu Collection is another great release from Arrow Video and although the three movies included weren’t amazing, the first still being the best, but any fan of J-horror should have this in their collection.
Ringu 0 is actually a well done prequel that gives life to the Sadako character and gives a pretty good reason for enacting a curse on others later, although still not entirely sure how it gets caught on a VHS tape…
Ringu 2 is an inferior sequel but still has its moments and the atmosphere stayed relatively the same while the story did feel a little more convoluted, even confusing.
