Haven Blu-ray Review
Haven isn’t one of the top notch amongst the interconnected ensemble dramas and really doesn’t have a whole lot to say, though thankfully not as heavy-handed but I generally thought the performances were alright at least.

First Snow Blu-ray Review
First Snow might not have the strongest writing but performances from both Guy Pearce and J.K. Simmons, albeit a small role, does make this a worthwhile watch.
NCIS: New Orleans: The Sixth Season DVD Review
NCIS: New Orleans – The Sixth Season finds some more soap opera-esque storylines and characters and while this is still my least favorite of the franchise, I do like Scott Bakula even with his cringey Orleans’s accent.

Wonder Woman: The Complete Collection Blu-ray Review
Wonder Woman in terms of content is a show of its time and I’m sure today’s audiences might have a difficult time sitting through an episode, I still find it fairly entertaining thanks in large part to Lynda Carter’s committed performance.

Even Money Blu-ray Review
I usually enjoy these interconnected ensemble movies but Even Money never quite gelled though the performances from Danny DeVito, Tim Roth were rather good, but not enough to make this a must rental or purchase.
Possession Blu-ray Review
Possession had an interesting premise but not enough to stretch it into feature film length or at least provide some consistent story that was engaging rather than a bit on the dull side.
Hawaii Five-0: The Final Season DVD Review
Hawaii Five-0 comes to an end after a fairly impressive 10 season run and while the acting I don’t think was ever top notch, some of the stories, thanks to the locations, were entertaining.

Evil: Season One DVD Review
Evil is a dark but engaging supernatural crime-drama featuring a solid cast headlined by Katja Herbers, Mike Colter and Michael Emerson being as creepy as ever. The season lays a good foundation for a second season.
Survive the Night Blu-ray Review
Survive the Night is merely one of those bland movies that’s just competent enough to not be bad yet have such an average script to be all that entertaining, even as a time-waster.
Airplane: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Airplane remains one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen and has endured the test of time, though probably some jokes would not be looked favorably in today’s climate and a movie like this wouldn’t be allowed to be made today. Still, funny as hell.
