Rambo is an excellent entry into the vaunted franchise and a much needed boost after the disappointing third film. Stallone was in top form and still was believable that he could still kick ass.

The Flash: The Complete Fifth Season Blu-ray Review
The Flash: The Complete Fifth Season was highly entertaining even though I’m not the biggest fan of these “Team” aspects which hurt Arrow, but here, the family dynamic with Barry/Iris/Nora injected some great emotion and the villains were well done.

Mayday DVD Review
Mayday is on the line between plain bad-bad and good-bad, with the latter being just enough, especially in the third act, where I would give this a cautionary recommendation.
Alice, Sweet Alice Blu-ray Review
Alice, Sweet Alice for some reason has cultivated a following over the 40 years since its release and while atmospherically it was decent, the rest wasn’t all that impressive from the stringed-together plot to some laughable over-the-top performances.
Wagon Master Blu-ray Review
Although one of his lesser and simpler films, John Ford’s Wagon Master is a very well made 1950s western featuring a great setting and some solid performances all around.
Poms Blu-ray Review
Poms is a fine, even at times sweet, little comedy-drama featuring some great performances from its older cast, with Diane Keaton still showing she’s got so much charm.
The Sun is Also a Star DVD Review
No real surprise that I never heard of the novel it’s based upon, The Sun is Also a Star is a fine romance-drama that never manages to impress beyond a scene or two with leads, yet fans of the genre might get more enjoyment out of it.
Chasing the Moon Blu-ray Review
Chasing the Moon, the latest in the “American Experience” line is a very well made documentary series going through man’s quest to travel to the moon to beyond.
Roxanne Blu-ray Review
Roxanne is a wonderfully breezy romantic-comedy that one can’t help but smile from beginning to end, mostly because of Steve Martin’s understated but still fulfilling performance alongside a nice supporting cast.
Vice Squad: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Vice Squad is a very unique and somewhat underappreciated crime-thriller with some truly uncomfortable scenes but solid acting from Season Hubley and, especially, Wings Hauser who delivers a chillingly masochistic performance.

Missing Link Blu-ray Review
Missing Link is a nice little stop-motion animated film with a standard but still entertaining story to go along with a nice voice cast which includes Hugh Jackman, Zoe Saldana and Zach Galifianakis; I would say this worth a rental.
Critters Attack Blu-ray Review
Critters Attack might’ve been 25+ years in the making but what we get instead is an insipid story, which would’ve been fine if not for the fact it was mostly dull and lacked any real fun or entertainment.
What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Blu-ray Review
Even though I was not a major fan of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine having limited experience watching the series, What We Left Behind is still a compelling enough documentary.

The Assault DVD Review
Can’t say The Assault was a movie I had high expectations for although I had hoped it at least was a middling action-thriller but alas it was just another poorly made direct-to-video flick.
Vault DVD Review
Vault might’ve been an interesting story, and the acting at least was alright, but it doesn’t really break new ground in the true crime-heist where I’ve pretty much seen this played out in other movies.
