Review: Spotlight on a Murderer BD + Screen Caps

This two-disc release from Arrow Films’ “Arrow Academy” line, Spotlight on a Murderer offers great video and audio transfers but falters a bit in the features department with only an older featurette, though the accompanied booklet is worth a read.

Review: Bambi: The Signature Collection BD + Screen Caps

Bambi honestly is not one of my favorite classic Disney animated films but it’s hard to become emotional over the journey for these characters and the positive message it presents that’s still more than relevant today that it was back in the day.

Review: Madhouse BD + Screen Caps

Madhouse maybe has a modest following, but being this my first viewing, I found it awfully tedious with little to no thrills not to mention no scares whatsoever, and add in some below average performances, even by 1980s slasher standards, it makes for just a bad movie.

Review: Joan of Arcadia: The Complete Series DVD

Joan of Arcadia was a short-lived but well acted drama-fantasy highlighted by Amber Tamblyn in what could’ve been a star-making role, alongside Joe Mantegna and Mary Steenburgen. At times it might not have been greatly compelling but it there were entertaining episodes spanning the two seasons.

Review: Beauty and the Beast (2017) BD + Screen Caps

To say I was disappointed in this Beauty and the Beast live action adaptation would be an understatement. Although the technical aspects were impressive, the performances, particularly for Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, were underwhelming, and the new music was rather forgettable.

Review: Brain Damage BD + Screen Caps

Often funny with plenty of gore for horror-hounds, Brain Damage is plenty of fun though I felt it got on the lengthy side in many instances — the sex scene in particular went on forever — yet the film was entertaining enough.

Review: Max 2: White House Hero BD + Screen Caps

Max 2: White House Hero is a safe movie for families and in particular, kids probably 10 and under as the jokes and violence are Disney-esque. No, it’s not very good and if you’re an adult, this might be tough to sit through.

Review: Sky on Fire BD + Screen Caps

Sky on Fire had potential but the execution I felt was on the sloppy side though Daniel Wu did well in a lead role and some of the action scenes were shot pretty well while the visual effects were mostly laughable.

Review: The Man in the Moon BD + Screen Caps

The Man in the Moon is a well made coming-of-age story that’s probably most memorable for being Reese Witherspoon’s introduction but also features a nice supporting cast.
