Ready or Not is a darkly comedic and even thrilling film that doesn’t have the strongest story but with Samara Weaving in the lead, makes this worthy of at least a rental.

Gunsmoke: The Sixteenth Season DVD Review
Gunsmoke continues its lengthy run with this sixteenth season and although westerns still aren’t really my thing, the episode plots were relatively interesting to go along with a respectable ensemble cast.

Mary Blu-ray Review
Mary on paper at least had plenty of potential and with a recent Academy Award winner at the helm in Gary Oldman, this was an all around disappointing film with poor editing and weak plot and characters.
Jake Speed Blu-ray Review
Jake Speed has its best intentions but unfortunately thanks to the lack of charisma from the main actor, and some half-baked writing, this comes across as a D-grade Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection Blu-ray Review
The Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection is an amazing set from Shout Factory that, along with 28 fun films, had great audio and video transfers across the board to go along with a nice selection of bonus material.

Silver Bullet: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Silver Bullet is by no means a good movie or even all that entertaining, though the acting from Busey and Haim were good and the effects work was fairly impressive considering the time period.

Big Trouble in Little China: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Big Trouble in Little China isn’t one of my favorite films of the 80s nor is it one of my favorites from John Carpenter, but despite some lackluster character development and a plot that feels a bit disjointed, ignoring all of that makes for a fun flick.

The Kitchen Blu-ray Review
The Kitchen is the epitome of an un-ambitious movie that is less of a love song to the crime-dramas of the 1970s and instead features a myriad of topes and clichés from the era.
Operation Crossbow: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
Operation Crossbow isn’t what I’d call a great World War II era film, but still all in all rather well made with a finale that easily outweigh some of the middling scenes that came before. That said, any fan of WWII movies, this is still well worth checking out.

Hard Night Falling DVD Review
Hard Night Falling, outside of having a terrible title, just is all around a bad movie all around. Dolph Lundgren doesn’t exactly try his hardest yet still is the best part, but that’s not say a whole lot.
All About Eve: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
I wish I could recommend this Criterion Collection release of All About Eve but even though the video and audio transfers and features were great, the cheap packaging and shoddy work holding discs using rubber hubs makes this a no-go in my book.

The 100: The Complete Fifth Season Blu-ray Review
The 100 isn’t normally my kind of show as generally I don’t have much interest in these ever-growing post-apocalyptic shows (which I included The Walking Dead), but I did find this one to be semi-entertaining.

Road Games: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Road Games is not for everyone with many loving it, but I’m not one of those, however I did enjoy Stacy Keach’s performance at least and the Australian setting was interesting, just the story never came together.

The Jetsons: The Complete Original Series Blu-ray Review
This iteration of The Jetsons was well before my time, though I also wasn’t an avid watcher of the 1980s version either, but even so, this was a fun and all around enjoyable animated series.

Official Secrets DVD Review
Official Secrets has solid performances from a respectable cast, led way by Keira Knightley and while I wasn’t terribly involved with this true story, this is still worth checking out if you’re into these kinds of movies.
