Murder in the Big House is a tight little crime-drama with some fine performances from its lead, particularly Van Johnson and Faye Emerson.

The Chastity Belt isn’t consistently funny but did have a few amusing moments, though it did get a few extra points just for the cover which I still continue to chuckle at.

I Like Your Nerve is a fun enough 1931 romantic-comedy with charismatic performances by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Loretta Young. As for this DVD release… yeah, it may not sound or look very good but anyone who likes these types of movies, it is nice to finally get them on home video.

Chances is a bit over-the-top, which I guess is to be expected for the era, but still charming performances from Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Rose Hobart.

Judgment Night isn’t what one call a “smart” thriller or anything but it is awfully fun courtesy of its charming cast headlined by Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denis Leary (with special mention to Stephen Dorff and Jeremy Piven).

The Finger Points is a fun enough 1930s-era crime-drama that doesn’t stand out any others from that timeframe either, however. Still, for fans of this style of filmmaking might find it entertaining.

The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb is a harmless but nevertheless bad adventure-fantasy that tries to be the low budget version of The Mummy but fails, along with some poor performances albeit not helped by shoddy writing.

This Shadow Stalkers set is filled with mostly suspense/thriller-horror movies, much not very well known (at least to me) and a couple (Don’t Answer the Phone and Silent Night, Bloody Night) were previously released in another set (“Faces of Horror”) in my own collection.

Once you get past the incredibly dated and awful laugh track, Girlfriends is an enjoyable sitcom featuring four wonderful lead actresses and some genuinely funny humor and writing that only got better with each season.

Alibi is a entertaining and often darkly humorous British mystery-thriller that excels courtesy of Michael Kitchen’s first-rate performance, alongside Sophie Okonedo.

Hollywood’s Greatest Screen Legends set might be cool in theory but these are episodes of something called “Hollywood Remembers” from 2000 and these were not professionally produced though you can at least see the passion as I doubt this was some money ploy.

No Solicitors is just one of those movies you see on the shelf at a Wal-Mart and probably, for good reason, pass on by. The acting isn’t the best however I don’t mind seeing Eric Roberts hamming it up in a scene or two.

Scooby-Doo & Batman: The Brave and the Bold is a fun enough animated movie more as a fan of the humor from the cancelled Batman animated series and if any hard-core Mystery Inc. fans will also enjoy it even if the team-up itself is forced.

S.W.A.T. aired before my time and I never watched when it was on syndication (presuming it was at some point) but it is a franchise that has endured with a Hollywood movie, a few direct-to-video spin-offs and now a remake series on CBS.

While I’m not all that crazy for the animation style of this version of DuckTales, I did really enjoy this first episode… and that’s kind of what sucks about this release that it only includes this singular episode rather than the entire season
