Trauma Center is, and this is not saying much, not the worst of these DTV releases I’ve watched, but it’s on the forgettable side with Bruce Willis mailing it in (again), although I did like Nicky Whelan in the lead.

Underwater Blu-ray Review
Underwater is a Howard Hughes’ produced movie that plods along with little suspense and very little in the way of any memorable characters, although at least the underwater photography was impressive, for what it’s worth.
The Mindy Project: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
This is a nice package put together by Mill Creek, especially if you’re a fan of Mindy Kaling’s style of humor, which I generally am.

Very Bad Things Blu-ray Review
Very Bad Things is one hell of a dark comedy and although I normally don’t care for that subgenre, I did laugh quite a few times and felt a tinsy-bit bad doing so. Also features a fun ensemble cast with Christian Slater easily being the standout.
Flesh Eating Mothers Blu-ray Review
Flesh-Eating Mothers is certainly a terrible and cheesy movie, yet it is in that so bad it’s good realm, and might be a crowd-pleaser to watch and mock with friends.
Black and Blue Blu-ray Review
Black and Blue was a surprisingly solid corrupt-cop centric thriller from Deon Taylor, director behind Traffik, and features some strong performances by Naomi Harris, Frank Grillo and yes, even Tyrese Gibson.
Game of Thrones: The Complete Eighth Season: Limited Edition Steelbook 4K Ultra HD Review
Game of Thrones: The Complete Eighth Season is probably the lesser of the series and the storylines didn’t quite gel and did feel rushed at times, though still left satisfied for the most part.
Jexi Blu-ray Review
Jexi isn’t a phenomenal comedy by any stretch and if you’re not a Adam Devine fan (and I do like him), not sure how much of this you’ll truly enjoy.
Body Parts Blu-ray Review
Body Parts is an entertaining little horror-thriller, a Frankenstein-like feature, starring the wonderfully underappreciated Jeff Fahey and the gore effects work for the time wasn’t half bad.
House by the Cemetery: Limited Edition Blu-ray Review
House by the Cemetery might have its merits and perhaps die-hard fans of Lucio Fulci may find it entertaining, but for myself it was more confusing and even tedious. However, this Limited Edition release by Blue Underground is very well done.

Holiday (1938): The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
1938’s Holiday is a charming enough romance-drama featuring a few great performances, primarily Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Doris Nolan.

MacGyver: Season 3 DVD Review
MacGyver, like the remakes of Hawaii Five-O and Magnum P.I. (which makes up CBS’ Friday night lineup) is updated for the 21st century and 21st century audiences with more flash and flare than anything resembling good storytelling.
Sliding Doors: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Sliding Doors is such an interesting concept of a movie that works thanks to the lovely performances from both Gwyneth Paltrow and a John Hannah who has a lot of quirky charm. After all these years, the film still holds up so well.

Let’s Scare Jessica to Death Blu-ray Review
Let’s Scare Jessica to Death is certainly an odd title and really doesn’t factor into the plot, which was a tad uneven at times, but I still found the film, which I discovered has a cult following to be entertaining enough thanks to a charismatic cast.

The Goldfinch Blu-ray Review
The Goldfinch is a well shot film with a great cast that includes Ansel Elgort, Sarah Paulson, Jeffrey Wright and Nicole Kidman, sadly the story wasn’t very interesting, was a tad too long.
