Edge of Sanity Blu-ray Review
Edge of Sanity is another re-telling of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde stories, this one starring Anthony Perkins. The Blu-ray from Arrow Video includes an audio commentary, many interviews and a trailer.
Steele Justice Blu-ray Review
Steele Justice based on the title alone should’ve made for a fun and entertaining action schlock and while there were elements, there wasn’t enough to make this a worthwhile viewing especially with a lead that had no personality.
Vampire’s Kiss: MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Review
Vampire’s Kiss was one hell of an experience and after some momentary bewilderment of what I was watching, and in particular Nicolas Cage’s wild performance, I was full-on in with this masterpiece that generated many memes.

The Virgin Suicides: The Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
The Virgin Suicides is a movie that didn’t have a huge impact on me then and now I can appreciate it for its direction and the performances, but nothing else otherwise in terms of any emotional impact.

Ants! Blu-ray Review
Ants is another eco-horror thriller TV movie from the late 1970s and is pretty much on par with the likes of Tarantulas and Terror Out of the Sky, meaning passably entertaining but not much more than that.
Terror Out of the Sky Blu-ray Review
Terror Out of the Sky is another made-for-television attack feature that has elements of entertainment even I didn’t find it especially thrilling or scary, but it’s okay as a time waster.
Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo Blu-ray Review
Tarantula: The Deadly Cargo is a pretty dull movie and has most of the feels of a made-for-tv flick from the 1970s. I do think this one in a group setting you might find some entertainment but watching it alone it wasn’t scary or suspenseful.

Monday Morning: MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Review
Monday Morning is a very obscure movie from the late 80s or early 90s (kind of hard to find out when exactly it was released) that might’ve had B-movie fun if not for a third act involving a hostage situation at a high school.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is the latest entry into a franchise that is below average at best and lacks the, pardon the pun, magic of the Harry Potter films both in terms of story and characters.

Fire in the Sky Blu-ray Review
Fire in the Sky is an okay science fiction drama that’s basic on a dubious true story, though I can still admire the performance from Robert Patrick and special effects work by ILM as their alien design was pretty cool.
Zero Contact Blu-ray Review
Zero Contract is a result of the pandemic and maybe I can admire the idea on paper, but in practice this is a snooze-fest of a “thriller” with headliner Anthony Hopkins appearing a bit lost in his few scenes. This is one you can absolutely skip.
