Dynasties is an incredibly well made documentary mini-series featuring engaging storylines with the animals and with only 5 episodes, this is worth binge-watching over the course of a day.

The Vanishing Blu-ray Review
The Vanishing is a well made if not also rather forgettable drama/psychological thriller that excels due to the performances from Gerard Butler and Peter Mullan making this worthy of a Red Box rental.
Out of Love DVD Review
Out of Love is a nice little romance-drama, recounting the ups and downs of a couple from a sweet meeting through their relationship with good performances from Naomi Velissariou and Danil Vorobyev.
London Fields DVD Review
London Fields bar none is one of the worst films I’ve come across in the last few years with a terrible screenplay unaided by either stilted acting from the likes of Thornton and Heard to Sturgess chewing the hell out of every scene he was in.
The Roy Rogers Happy Trails Collection DVD Review
Roy Rogers was way before my time and as someone who never was interested in westerns, I never sought out his movies but this Happy Trails Collection is a fun set even if the product itself including the audio and video transfers were on the poorer side.

Audition (Arrow Video) Blu-ray Review
I wasn’t as big of a fan of Audition as some and don’t consider top-tier in the J-horror sub-genre mainly due to the surreal nature of the second half but the performances from the two leads were great.
No Tell Motel DVD Review
The No Tell Motel set is another budget release from Mill Creek and outside maybe Vacancy, are not very good movies, but if you enjoy these types of movies then it might be worth picking up in the sub $10 range.
The Standoff at Sparrow Creek Blu-ray Review
The Standoff at Sparrow Creek is a fun little independent film noir-thriller featuring some solid performances by James Badge Dale and Chris Mulkey and is worthy of a rental.

Willard (2003) Blu-ray Review
Willard is a creepy enough adaptation that works thanks to Crispin Glover’s wonderfully creepy performance, perhaps his best role.
Kalifornia: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Kalifornia is one hell of a road trip of a movie that excels thanks two amazing performances from Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis, and if this film had found any traction, Pitt at the very least should’ve gotten an Oscar nomination.

Do It Yourself DVD Review
Do It Yourself is a bit of a gem of a film and one of the reasons I love reviewing movies because it’s highly doubtful, damn-new impossible, I would have ever seen this movie otherwise.
Barb Wire Blu-ray Review
Barb Wire had the potential to be a wild, bat-s insane sci-fi actioner and instead we get a sloppily edited movie with some poor performances combined with a bad script and pedestrian directing.
Starsky & Hutch Blu-ray Review
Starsky & Hutch is one of the better, for what it’s worth, TV-to-film adaptations as Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson were great together and the humor mostly landed and seeing this 15 years later was a lot of fun.
Bohemian Rhapsody 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
There’s no doubt Queen is a true hall of fame band and Freddie Mercury a transformative musician, but this bio-pic, while well produced and finely acted, feels a bit sterilized relaying Mercury’s life but keeping it within the PG-13 realm.

There’s Nothing Out There Blu-ray Review
There’s Nothing Out There isn’t great B-movie horror or anything yet there is a fun element to these independently made films where there is a lot of passion both in front of and behind the camera.
