Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride is, even by low budget standards, a rather poorly made horror film though I’ll give it this, the make-up effects were at least halfway decent.

The Last Ride DVD Review
The Last Ride is a fun 1940s-era crime-drama with some solid performances by Richard Travis and Charles Lang, as well as an on-the-rise Eleanor Parker.
The Real Story: The Da Vincie Code DVD Review
The Real Story: The Da Vinci Code is an interesting, if not dated topic, even when it aired back in 2013, but still interesting nevertheless as most Smithsonian productions are generally well produced.

Dating Game Killer DVD Review
Dating Game Killer was Investigation Discovery’s attempt into the made-for-TV route, perhaps seeing the success its sister company, Lifetime, were doing.
Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance DVD Review
Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance is a Lifetime movie made to capitalize on the nation’s obsession with this royal couple and although I have no idea how much of this is factual, what is presented are charming performances from its leads.

Narcos: Season Three DVD Review
Narcos: Season Three is a fine conclusion to a decent series featuring yet another great performance from Pedro Pascal. I’ve never was a huge fan of the series having watched it once it hit home video.
Her Stolen Past DVD Review
Her Stolen Past is actually an okay if not your run-of-the-mill Lifetime TV movie as I did like Shanice Banton in the lead role, but not much else really stands out.
Girls vs. Gangsters DVD Review
Girls vs. Gangsters is the Chinese female version of The Hangover with even humor that’s not as funny (and to be fair, The Hangover is vastly overrated) and honestly was a chore to sit through. Just skip.
Wrapped Up in Christmas/Snowed-Inn Christmas DVD Review
Both Wrapped Up in Christmas and Snowed-Inn Christmas are fine family fare movies produced to air on Lifetime as they attempt to compete with the Hallmark Channel for the cheesy holiday romance segment of the population.

A Very Merry Toy Store/Four Christmases and a Wedding DVD Review
A Very Merry Toy Store and Four Christmases and a Wedding is your standard holiday fare that one would see on the Hallmark Channel and given its successes, guess it’s no surprise to see Lifetime get in the act, steering away from the soap opera-like thrillers.

The Resident: The Complete Season One DVD Review
The Resident: The Complete Season One is a perfectly serviceable medical drama but as someone who isn’t the biggest fan of that genre of television, I wasn’t entirely invested in the soap opera-like plots and characters, though the acting isn’t half bad.

Madam Secretary: Season 4 DVD Review
Madam Secretary: Season 4 is pretty much like any of the many other political shows (like Scandal or, going way back, The West Wing) with sort of a more fantasy element compared with real life, though the election certainly gave the writers a field day for some additional drama.
MacGyver: Season 2 DVD Review
While I don’t really have a problem with CBS and their reboot of Hawaii Five-0 but MacGyver is one that really doesn’t work both in terms of its style and the performances, most notable Lucas Till who just doesn’t look quite right in the role.
Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost DVD Review
Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost is a fun enough direct-to-video adventure from Mystery Inc. and even though the plot and culprit is as predictable as ever, still makes for a good way to spend an hour plus.

Truth or Dare DVD Review
Truth or Dare is a really ridiculous game to make into a horror movie to begin with, but having it done twice is so dumb. That being said, and perhaps I’m grading on a curve comparing it to the other movie, I found this one passably entertaining.
