While John Little’s documentary probably could’ve used some better editing, perhaps from a more experienced traditional director, there’s no doubt the passion is there for Lee.

My Way is a nice almost fly-on-the-wall of the literal small town girl coming to big city Los Angeles tale and details how Rebekah Starr’s life changed both professionally and personally.

The Exorcist III isn’t a great movie and can’t touch the original, yet it’s a big step up from the awful sequel and the performance from Brad Dourif and to some extent George C. Scott, is well worth the price of admission along with some genuinely creepy/scary scenes.

On Dangerous Ground is probably not a well known movie in the film noir “genre” but offers solid performances from Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan and a compelling enough story to engage any fans, albeit this is not exactly a memorable movie on the whole.

Nighthawks has elements that is quintessential for the time and features a Stallone performance that I doubt anyone would remember while Rutger Hauer basically stole the show in spite of Stallone cutting down that role and beefing his up during the edit process.

Joshy is a well acted drama-comedy and one should go in knowing it is more drama than comedy but otherwise it’s a bit of a downer film that doesn’t have the best payoff despite the efforts of Thomas Middleditch who does have a few good scenes.

The Iron Giant is one of the better classic animated movies that have come along in the past 20 years and can compete right alongside Disney’s best, it’s just unfortunate Warner dropped the ball marketing it and instead it bombed at the box office. Thankfully since making its way on home video, the film has found a fanbase.

Impractical Jokers: The Complete Fourth Season is pretty much up to snuff with its previous three seasons with even more, and sometimes, awkward challenges/skits that from the first episode, in Miami, had me laughing for a second time.

Into the Forest is a somewhat depressing but very well acted drama, with the apocalyptical aspect being a catalyst rather than central plot, and specifically Ellen Page was fantastic. Now, this is not for everybody especially if you’re expecting a thriller and it is slowly paced, but if you’re patient and enjoy character studies, this is worth at least a rental.

Guilt is just like any other of these crime-dramas of late like How to Get Away with Murder and The Killing, though both of those series are/were superior to this which takes more than a few cues from the real-life case of Amanda Knox accused of murder in Italy and the media circus that proceeded. Fans of any of Shonda Rhimes dramas might find the series entertaining; I didn’t.

Nicholas Ray’s Johnny Guitar is a well written western-thriller film that features a powerhouse and spunky performance from Joan Crawford. The Blu-ray released by Olive Film’s new Signature line offers great video, good audio and a solid selection of bonus material.

The Guyver 2 — or Guyver: Dark Hero as it’s credited – has a nice fun fact to it, even more so than its predecessor but is bogged down by an exhausting 2+ hour running time. Fans of the series will probably appreciate it.

Somewhat of a cult classic at this point, The Guyver is a silly and all around cheesy sci-fi action flick that is no doubt bad but watching it with a group of friends, you can go all out MST3K on it.

Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil is a nice inclusion in Warner’s Archive Collection and while I didn’t particularly think very much of the movie, there’s at least some good elements headlined by another masterful performance from Kevin Spacey and even John Cusack contributes well.
