The Manitou is a ridiculous and just dumb fantasy-horror movie that had some okay performances all things considered, but some laughably bad moments, enough probably making this on the good-bad range.

Between Worlds Blu-ray Review
Between Worlds is yet another failed film from Nicolas Cage and this is perhaps one of this worst performances, which is saying something, though he gets no help from a poor script.
The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire Blu-ray Review
The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire is a middling, even confusing, giallo horror film that doesn’t have a whole lot going for it, outside perhaps the unique filming locations in Ireland.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot Blu-ray Review
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is a well done character study featuring yet another wonderful performance from the illustrious Sam Elliott.

Hard Ticket to Hawaii Blu-ray Review
Hard Ticket to Hawaii is the definition of so bad, it’s good and whether Andy Sidaris was in on the joke, who knows, but this was a lot of fun to watch, but make no mistake, there were times it was brutal.
Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase Blu-ray Review
Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase is by no means a good movie but perfectly fine for a family film and star Sophia Lillis was pretty good in the role, hopefully she gets another shot in a sequel.

Someone to Watch Over Me Blu-ray Review
Someone to Watch Over Me admittedly was a bit of a disappointment as I do love crime-dramas and combined with Ridley Scott at the helm, figured it’d be entertaining, but it’s a movie that features two leads who had zero chemistry with one another.
Sister Street Fighter Collection Blu-ray Review
The Sister Street Fighter Collection is a decent collection of the “spin-off” series and excels thanks to the performance, mostly physical, from Etsubo Shihomi, although the storylines are generally interchangeable.

Stan & Ollie DVD Review
Stan & Ollie is a nice little biographical drama-comedy with good performances from its leads, Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly.
The Deadly Mantis Blu-ray Review
The Deadly Mantis is a bit of a lame 1950s sci-fi-fantasy film that is more boring though some of the small scale scenes with the mantis wasn’t half bad at least, it was far more interesting watching the “MST3K” episode included than the movie itself…
The Witches Blu-ray Review
The Witches features a fine performance from Joan Fontaine but the story isn’t very engaging, even a little disjointed at times, though on the plus side, it is a different kind of Hammer picture.
King of Thieves Blu-ray Review
King of Thieves had an interesting true story premise for sure and while the cast itself is filled with some legendary older actors, the script writing needed some work, the direction was pedestrian and seems like Michael Caine was miscast.
The Street Fighter Collection Blu-ray Review
The Street Fighter Collection is a decent introduction to the martial arts genre and while none of them are truly ‘good’, I did find the first movie to be a lot of fun, the third one being so-so while the sequel was rather dull.

A Woman of Affairs DVD Review
A Woman of Affairs was technically based on the novel “The Green Hat” but due to censorship, the story was changed so much it apparently bared little resemblance (kind of makes me wonder if the book might be due for a new adaptation).
Strip Nude for Your Killer (Arrow Video) Blu-ray Review
Strip Nude for Your Killer was if anything dull and not very engaging, though at least lead actress Edwige Fenech was a lot of fun. It has its moments, however and might be worth taking a chance, just know you’re not getting classic giallo.
