The Hospital is a dark comedy that works mostly for George C. Scott though the story itself isn’t only mildly amusing. The Blu-ray has okay video/audio transfers but lacks many features.

Model Shop Blu-Ray Review
Model Shop was an okay enough drama that excels with the performance from Alexandra Hay while I found Gary Lockwood’s Matthews to be a bit annoyingly dense of a character.
Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell BD + Screen Caps
Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell is the fifth movie in the series and while it’s hardly great even by mindless entertainment standards, it’s still an enjoyable enough time anyway especially watching Michael Gross and Jamie Kennedy having a great time with the material.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space BD + Screen Caps
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a wonderful 1980s deliberate B-movie that has garnered cult status and actually features respectable make-up/costume designs and some genuinely funny moments.

Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke BD + Screen Caps
Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke is a stoner’s paradise of a movie and even as someone who doesn’t partake, or am a big fan of either Cheech Marin or Tommy Chong, found this to be a fun and entertaining time.

Den of Thieves BD + Screen Caps
Imperfect to say the least, Den of Thieves does have quite a few things going for it from an intense performance from Gerard Butler and suspense-filled crime sequences, that does somewhat overcome the lengthy running time and lack of some character development of the supporting cast.
Backstabbing for Beginners BD + Screen Caps
Backstabbing for Beginners does tell an interesting story about an event that probably not many people know or remember, and while it is fascinating, the final product was more on the respectable but not great spectrum.

Paddington 2 BD + Screen Caps
Paddington 2 is an entertaining film for the entire family and I’m sure fans of the Berenstain Bear books will get a kick out of this sequel, but even if you’re like me and are a part of only 1% of the population unfamiliar, it is still is quite fun.
The Greatest Showman BD + Screen Caps
The Greatest Showman may not be the greatest movie musical to come down the pike with some average storytelling, but the musical performances themselves and songs more than made up for its shortcomings.
Braven BD + Screen Caps
Braven was a surprisingly well made, save for a few eye-rolling moments, suspense-thriller with some solid performances from two bad-asses with Jason Momoa and Stephen Lang as they do battle against low-level drug smugglers. Well worth a rental.
Cyborg: Collector’s Edition BD + Screen Caps
Cyborg had all the hallmarks of being a fun good bad 1980s sci-fi action movie and while there are certainly some great moments, still get a chuckle out of Tremolo growls, there’s too much of it that is derivative that it became a bit boring at times.

Honor Up BD + Screen Caps
Honor Up is a poorly made, terribly written film with bad performances to boot. It honestly was a chore to sit through and there are far better options that touch upon the same subject matter.
A Pistol for Ringo/The Return of Ringo BD + Screen Caps
I’m not exactly a fan of westerns in general, only enjoying the more mainstream or obvious like Unforgiven and A Fistful of Dollars, but these two Ringo movies were well produced and lead actor Giuliano Gemma had great charisma.

Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay 4K Ultra HD + BD Screen Caps
Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay is another first-rate entry into DC’s Animated features line with a story that is on the thinner side, but worth watching if only for the colorful array of characters and full embracing of the R-rating with some great bloody violence.

Father Figures BD + Screen Caps
Father Figures is just the latest in the litany of forgettable throwaway duo/buddy comedies that constantly come down the line and are in-and-out of theaters. That said, it’s not horrible and it did have a few laughs, but otherwise I won’t see it again.
