Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Turtles is a great mash-up for any fan but as someone who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, this was a lot of fun even if the Turtles’ designs weren’t my favorite, but was able to ignore as the humor was on point.

The Entity to say the least is a unique and pretty graphic supernatural-thriller that features a brave performance from Barbara Hershey and although it’s far from perfect, definitely worth checking out.
Double Face is normally the kind of movie up my alley. The murder-mystery is a bit uneven with the pacing and editing, but even so, I did like Klaus Kinski’s performance and it did at least keep my attention through the end.
A Vigilante had good intentions but thanks to the slow and awkward delivery of a familiar story, that it was tough to sit through but for the wrong reasons. The only redeeming value I could find was Olivia Wilde’s emotional performance.
General Commander is just another poorly made and all around lazy action-thriller from Steven Seagal who gave up on quality work in well over a decade, this one is no different where he seems to sit around most of the time.
Double Team is a poorly made, half-baked action-thriller though the biggest sin was how some producer or studio head thought it was a good idea to pair up an action falling star with a rainbow colored ex-NBA player.
Spunk’s Not Dead is one of those movies with a fun yet horrific front cover that doesn’t really match with some of the more cheap production of the film itself. The acting is so-so at best though it’s not altogether terrible.
Aloys is an interesting indie movie that I’d imagine someone like Paul Thomas Anderson would absolutely love. The performances from the two leads were both well done.
The New Scooby-Doo Movies: The (Almost) Complete Collection is a great set from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, a must for any big Scooby-Doo fans as you get the long-awaited lost episodes… save for one unfortunately.

Doubtful many remember either one of these movies which were released in the mid-90s and probably for good reason. Despite respectable casts, Body Count especially, the stories were generally messy and worse yet, not very memorable.

Bandolero is kind of a strange movie, one filled with some great actors of the time including Dean Martin, Raquel Welch and James Stewart playing against type as the antagonist, alongside George Kennedy.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers probably was in line with the television series with a bigger budget and I suppose if you’re a fan of that style of adventure and comedy, this might be worth watching, though it is dated.

I’m unsure exactly why anyone would want to buy Anaconda on Blu-ray, especially this being a double dip for Mill Creek, unless you fall into the category of finding this to be some sort of classic so bad its good kind of flick.
Excess Baggage is one of those forgettable, borderline entertaining films from the 1990s though at least Alicia Silverstone and Benicio Del Toro displayed some charm, but not nearly enough to overcome a lame story.
The Scarehouse isn’t some masterful horror movie or anything, yet still found it mildly entertaining and does feature a fun atmosphere (as designed by a real-life scarehouse creator) and the performances from the two leads were respectable.
