Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
Fury isn’t the best war drama around, not even in the top 5, but it’s still well made and features a great cast, with Brad Pitt delivering a fine performance (one of his best in some time), that elevates the writing while Ayer’s direction keeps the pacing just right.

Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa Claus 4K Ultra HD Review
After the first 35-minutes or so, Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa Claus is a fun little horror-thriller with some truly hilarious scenes that made me chuckle a few times and while it is ridiculous at times, however, I found it quite entertaining seeing a kid-turn-Rambo taking on a killer Santa Claus.

The Irishman: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
The Irishman was a little disappointing if only for the amount of praise the film received from both the professional and regular everyday movie-watchers, however it was great to see three veteran actors together.

The Woman (Arrow Video) Blu-ray Review
The Woman features a respectable physical and psychological performance from Pollyanna McIntosh, reprising her role from Offspring, the rest of the film is rather predictable.

Mallrats (Arrow Video) Blu-ray Review
Mallrats has found a new audience over the past 20+ years with home video media, and myself enjoyed it a bit more) and now 2.5 decades later, manages to get a complete Blu-ray release with a few new features and an upgraded video transfer.
Daughters of Darkness: Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
Fury isn’t the best war drama around, not even in the top 5, but it’s still well made and features a great cast, with Brad Pitt delivering a fine performance (one of his best in some time), that elevates the writing while Ayer’s direction keeps the pacing just right.

White Fire Blu-ray Review
White Fire had all the hallmarks of being one of those good-bad action movies from the 1980s and while it had its moments, Ginty fights off some goons with a chainsaw, but the last two-thirds were rather dull.
Warning from Space Blu-ray Review
Warning from Space (a.k.a. Spacemen Appear in Tokyo) comes to Blu-ray from Arrow Video (released on 10/13) and comes with a select-scene commentary, American version of the film, trailers and a gallery.
V for Vendetta 4K Ultra HD Review
V for Vendetta never struck me on an emotional level and it is a bit heavy handed though presumably the graphic novel was pretty close as well, but the performances from both Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman are strong.
Space Ghost & Dino Boy: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
Space Ghost & Dino Boy is a fun 1960s-era cartoon that’s pretty simplistic in both the animation and storytelling, but still worth checking out, though personally I could skip through the “Dino Boy” segments.

The Brides of Dracula: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
The Brides of Dracula isn’t the strongest of the “Dracula” movies or even monster flicks from Hammer Films, but it certainly is the most stylish with some rich production designs and Peter Cushing great playing Van Helsing.

The Owners Blu-ray Review
The Owners isn’t exactly a unique movie (kind of similar to Don’t Breath) but at the very least starts off well enough but even with a few decent scenes in the third act, the rest of the film doesn’t have a whole lot to offer.
