Beverly Hills 90210: The Ultimate Collection DVD Review
Beverly Hills 90210 was not a show I had grown up watching as I was only around 9/10 when it first aired and never got into even during my teen years, however it has stood the test of time as a fun primetime soap opera.

CSI: NY – The Complete Series DVD Review
CSI: NY was probably my second favorite of the three shows in the franchise, though CSI: Miami has some amazingly good-bad moments whereas this is pretty straight forward, and I do love Gary Sinise in the lead alongside a nice supporting cast.
Mission: Impossible: 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review
Mission: Impossible may be dated in terms of the technology used and some of the dialogue was clunky in order to set up some of the story, but I still was entertained by this first outing of what would become a long-running franchise.

Vanquish Blu-ray Review
Vanquish is your typical direct-to-video (or digital) film that might have a great actor like Morgan Freeman and an adequate actress in Ruby Rose, but everything else doesn’t quite work, B/C level stuff that happened to get some recognizable faces.
The Night of the Following Day Blu-ray Review
The Night of the Following Day might have an intrigueing title, the movie itself doesn’t exactly live up to it. Marlon Brando gives a fine performance, though his behind-the-scenes antics probably were more interesting.

All-American Murder Blu-ray Review
All-American Murder has a fun title harkening back to the 1990s, unfortunately the movie also harkens back to that time period of the low budget STV movies a quasi-name talent attached to draw viewers in.

King Kong (1976): Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
King Kong (1976) is certainly a flawed movie, entertaining for the most part though, but the biggest drawback is with the Kong suit which sometimes looks fine but his facial expressions were at best goofy, at worst downright creepy.

Bachelor in Paradise: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
Bachelor in Paradise is a fine, if not forgettable, 1961 romantic-comedy with many of the old fashioned plotlines and characters you’d expect. Bob Hope was okay while Lana Turner had her moments.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
Fast Times at Ridgemont High comes to Blu-ray for a second time, now getting the Criterion Collection treatment with an upgrade video transfer and a new interview feature; between the two worth the price, along with a really funny movie.
