Hi-Death is an anthology movie that has many of the pratfalls of others where most of the segments are garbage with one or maybe two having some value but here even the ones were decent, it’s cancelled out due to the cheap looking production.
The Sitter did have some potential wasted due to a poor script though the performance from star Aisling Knight was probably lone bright spot.
General Commander is just another poorly made and all around lazy action-thriller from Steven Seagal who gave up on quality work in well over a decade, this one is no different where he seems to sit around most of the time.
Spunk’s Not Dead is one of those movies with a fun yet horrific front cover that doesn’t really match with some of the more cheap production of the film itself. The acting is so-so at best though it’s not altogether terrible.
Aloys is an interesting indie movie that I’d imagine someone like Paul Thomas Anderson would absolutely love. The performances from the two leads were both well done.
The Trial of Ratko Mladic is haunting documentary of a monster I suspect not many people know about.
NOVA: Rise of the Rockets is an informative episode of the series providing a glimpse at the future of both exploration as well as the corporate-backing.
The Mighty McGurk is a well acted adventure-drama featuring two wonderous performances from Wallace Beery and Dean Stockwell when he was a child actor.
Becoming Evil: Serial Killers isn’t all that well put together documentary series, in fact comes across as a bit cheap, but with the explosion of true crime that has elevated Investigative Discovery, A&E and Lifetime.
The Charmer is a, well, charming little romance-drama featuring two lovely performances from its leads, Ardalan Esmaili and Soho Rezanejad who do carry the film rather well.
Bonanza: Season Nine is a fine enough season but as someone who isn’t the biggest fan of westerns in general and haven’t really cared enough about the show to keep up over the course of nine seasons, but the restoration work from CBS was well done.
Finding Joy is an endearing and charming drama featuring some sharp writing and a great performance from co-creator Amy Huberman.
The Hole in the Ground is a gem of a horror-thriller featuring a tremendous performance from Seána Kerslake whom I hope to see more of especially Stateside.
My Scientology Movie does deliver some good laughs though it doesn’t really give much more insights into the organization than has already been examined with Going Clear.
There are some decent enough films within this Cold War Thrillers Collection and actually for the price, right now it’s <$10 online, it’s probably worth picking up especially if you enjoy 1960s-era thrillers.
