5ive Girls might’ve borrowed from other sources and isn’t the most well made movie but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t at least mildly entertained by some of the elements, especially.

Warlock (1959) Blu-ray Review
Usually the western genre isn’t my thing, but even so, Warlock is well made and features a great cast headlined by Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn.
Baby the Rain Must Fall Blu-ray Review
Steve McQueen is probably my favorite ‘old school’ Hollywood superstars and while I don’t think Baby the Rain Must Fall is one of his better movies but he does deliver a brilliant performance.
Morituri Blu-ray Review
Morituri is a well made World War II drama featuring two great performances from Marlon Brando and Yul Brynner.
Isn’t it Romantic Blu-ray Review
Isn’t it Romantic might not be a great movie but for sure better than I expected, especially given Rebel Wilson actually displayed some charm and wasn’t at all obnoxious like she was in Pitch Perfect 3; this is probably worthy as a rental.
When a Stranger Calls Back Blu-ray Review

Level 16 Blu-ray Review
Level 16 doesn’t feel like the most original sci-fi(ish) thriller but I did like some of the atmosphere writer-director Danishka Esterhazy brought to the table and the performances from Katie Douglas and Celina Martin were both impressive.
The Big Clock Blu-ray Review
The Big Clock is a fun 1940s film noir-esque thriller that actually would probably play well today as it did then. The acting is fairly good, Ray Milland especially, and features a compelling and suspense-filled story.
The Mighty McGurk DVD Review
The Mighty McGurk is a well acted adventure-drama featuring two wonderous performances from Wallace Beery and Dean Stockwell when he was a child actor.
The Seduction Blu-ray Review
The Seduction is an okay erotic thriller however not terribly memorable despite this being Morgan Fairchild’s feature film debut but kind of expected more of a cheese-fest.
Becoming Evil: Serial Killers DVD Review
Becoming Evil: Serial Killers isn’t all that well put together documentary series, in fact comes across as a bit cheap, but with the explosion of true crime that has elevated Investigative Discovery, A&E and Lifetime.
The Charmer DVD Review
The Charmer is a, well, charming little romance-drama featuring two lovely performances from its leads, Ardalan Esmaili and Soho Rezanejad who do carry the film rather well.
