Catch the Bullet was just an ill-fated Western-thriller that features subpar acting from a C-level cast who, in fairness, were not helped by bad dialogue and an overall screenplay.

Twist Blu-ray Review
Sometimes these modernized adaptations of classics can work or at least be bizarre and out there (see Romeo+Julet or 2000’s Hamlet) but it doesn’t seem Oliver Twist in this setting quite works on any level. As a heist film it’s bland and as suspense-thriller lacks any tension.

Batwoman: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray Review
I’m not entirely sure how producers can right the ship but with a really mediocre first season and downright messy season two; the writing is probably the biggest culprit more so than the production value, which does sometimes look rather cheap.

The Equalizer: Season One DVD Review
The Equalizer: Season One has its moments and can say it was pretty entertaining; I just have questions whether Queen Latifah was the right fit as McCall as there seems to be better options out there.
Breakdown: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Breakdown is a simple but effective suspense-thriller with an amiable performance from Kurt Russell showing his on-screen charisma with very little to work with in terms of character development.

Meet Joe Black/Wimbledon Blu-ray Review
This is an odd-pairing, even under the “Girls Night In Double Feature” edition as one is a romance-drama with fantasy while the other is just a typical romance-comedy, but even so both films are alright and at a cheap price worth picking up.
The Shawshank Redemption 4K Ultra HD Review
The Shawshank Redemption is a movie I really should re-watch every other year if not every year as it’s an extraordinary and perfect film from the script to direction to the phenomenal performances from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.

Rad Blu-ray Review
Rad is a fun, and just a touch dated, sports teen drama that is fairly entertaining for what it is. For the most art the acting isn’t actually too bad and there is a fun time to be had watching amongst friends.
Two Evil Eyes 4K Ultra HD Review
Two Evil Eyes puts together two of the most prominent horror directors, George Romero and Dario Argento and while the movie is far from perfect, these were at least entertaining.
For Richer or Poorer Blu-ray Review
For Richer or Poorer is a mid/late 1990s adventure-comedy starring Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley and has its moments though some of the humor doesn’t always land. This comes to Blu-ray courtesy of Mill Creek Entertainment.
Till Death Blu-ray Review
Till Death is a simple but still highly entertaining little survival-thriller featuring a good performance from Megan Fox showing she has what it takes, with the right script, to be a lead.
