Charmed: Season One DVD Review

I never was an avid watcher of the original Charmed series but watched a few episodes here and there, but generally enjoyed it. This newest version seems to have richer production values but I haven’t yet bought in to the core trio, but there is room to grow.

The Shining 4K Ultra HD Review

The Shining is a great and eerie atmospheric horror-thriller that might feature Jack Nicholson’s best performance, at least early on, only later when going full-on psycho, but still an entertaining flick from Stanley Kubrick.

Awake Blu-ray Review

I was a little disappointed in Awake as I am usually a fan of the crime-drama genre, however the convoluted and contrived plot was too much to ignore, though I do like seeing Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a leading role.

Pan’s Labyrinth 4K Ultra HD Review

A Score to Settle Blu-ray Review

A Score to Settle is an uneven revenge-drama but through the first two-thirds, Nic Cage seemed to be under control, but by the final third, when emotions are high, we get the Cage we know and generally mock.

I Spy Blu-ray Review

I Spy is a half-baked TV-to-movie adaptation that flopped at the box office and it’s easy to see why, not only does it feature a weak plot, but the chemistry between Wilson and Murphy was not there.

NCIS: Los Angeles: Season 10 DVD Review

NCIS: Los Angeles: Season 10 is still a solid series, though the usage of some deep conspiracies, mainly the disappearance of Hetty, in any case, I do like this ensemble cast and the dynamics between one another.
