Starman: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review

Starman is a touching romance-science fiction movie that showcased that John Carpenter’s talents went beyond the horror genre. The performances from both Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen, were both great.

Castle Rock: The Complete First Season 4K UHD & Blu-ray Review

Castle Rock: The Complete First Season is a fun and entertaining show and that’s coming from someone who generally isn’t the biggest fan of Stephen King; however as a movie buff, there are cool references to some of the King-adapted feature films.

Bad Times at the El Royale Blu-ray Review

Bad Times at the El Royale is hardly a perfect movie and it does seem like writer-director Drew Goddard channeling his inner Quentin Tarantino, yet I found this drama-thriller thoroughly entertaining ensemble, headlined with fine performances by Jeff Bridges, Chris Hemsworth and newcomer Cynthia Erivo.

When Harry Met Sally…: 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review

When Harry Met Sally… is just a wonderful and damn near perfect romantic comedy from the tightly and sharply written Nora Ephron script, Rob Reiner’s creative direction and, most of all, the incredibly chemistry shared between Crystal and Ryan.

Halloween 4K UHD & Blu-ray Review

Halloween (2018) was on the disappointing side for me though I don’t consider myself a major fan of the franchise considering there’s really only two good ones, one I consider a guilty pleasure while the rest were either average or pure garbage. I would rank this sequel/reboot in the middle of the pack.

Speed Kills Blu-ray Review

Speed Kills is another dud for the once great John Travolta but I do like the guy and hope he had one more resurgence in him otherwise he’ll likely be stuck in these terrible direct-to-video films.

Nemesis: MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Review

Nemesis is certainly not a very well made movie. The action is frenetic at best, performances on the over-the-top scale, though it did have some adorably bad visual effects.

Obsession: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review

Obsession was a rather bland mystery-drama which doesn’t have a whole lot going for it aside from some good cinematography however the acting from Cliff Robertson in the lead was weirder rather than endearing, and the film lacked De Palma’s flair.

Karate Kid Part III/The Next Karate Kid: Double Feature Blu-ray Review

While neither Karate Kid Part III nor The Next Karate Kid are great entries in the series, far from it, there are some cheesy fun moments in both and also nice seeing Hilary Swank early in her career.

Night School Blu-ray Review

Night School is just a poorly made comedy, one which I did not laugh once and goes to show perhaps Kevin Hart’s limitations when he doesn’t have the right director, material and even ensemble cast to work off of.

Venom Blu-ray Review

Venom had the right ingredients from an incredibly talented actor starring, a multi Oscar-nominated actress in the love interest role and an interesting anti-hero in the form of black goo. Unfortunately, the execution wasn’t the best.
