All the Devil’s Men is actually not terrible. But it’s not very good either, though maybe in the hands of more experienced filmmakers, might have made for a passable, if not forgettable, spy-thriller.

The Key to Rebecca DVD Review
The Key to Rebecca is a well made World War II made-for-TV drama that comes to DVD for the first time courtesy of CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.
In the Heat of the Night (Criterion Collection) Blu-ray Review
In the Heat of the Night is a wonderful and culturally important film from the 1960s and while I don’t think it’s among Sidney Poitier’s best, with To Sir, With Love being my favorite of his, but it still is a great performance alongside Rod Steiger.

The Mole People Blu-ray Review
The Mole People is a cheesy B-level science fiction film from the 1950s and although it’s certainly not good, the movie is not without its charms.
Astro Boy: The Complete Series (2003) DVD Review
Astro Boy was never a series, in any of the incarnations, that I ever watched and this one from 2003 was… fine with some entertainment value.

The Return of the Vampire Blu-ray Review
The Return of the Vampire is a great little horror flick from Bela Lugosi and features some solid direction by Lew Landers, really capturing and highlighting the shadows, giving it an almost film noir vibe.
Tarzan’s Three Challenges Blu-ray Review
Tarzan’s Three Challenges is another decent adventure from the classic character by Edgar Rice Burroughs and while I’ve never been a big fan of the character, these movies did tend to entertain just enough.
The Vengeance of She Blu-ray Review
The Vengeance of She, a sequel to the 1965 She, is actually a fun little romp that, albeit not terribly well written, is quite entertaining for its fantastical elements and Olinka Berova was one of the bright spots, though not the best actress.
Tarzan Goes to India Blu-ray Review
Tarzan Goes to India is a nice installment in the numerous entries featuring the titular character, with some great action-adventure sequences.
Horror Express Blu-ray Review
Horror Express for me was a fine film though my interest was mostly for its two leads in Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, sharing the screen again after many roles as Dracula and Van Helsing respectively.
Double Dragon Blu-ray Review
Double Dragon is a bad yet still cheesy movie that screams 1990s with its style and direction, not to mention some over-the-top performances. I didn’t exactly hate this movie but it was hard to sit through at times.
Hostel/Hostel Part II: Horror Double Feature Blu-ray Review
This “Horror Double Feature” is another re-packaging of Hostel and Hostel Part II and given the <$10 price point and if you don’t already own the other release, or the individual ones, this is an okay pick-up, just know this does not include any bonus features.

Four Weddings and a Funeral: 25th Anniversary Edition (Shout Select) Blu-ray Review
Four Weddings and a Funeral, even with some of its flaws, most notably the casting of Andie McDowell whom I normally love, is still a wonderful, feel-good, film led way by Hugh Grant’s charm and some heartfelt scenes.
The Prize Blu-ray Review
The Prize might be a second-rate Hitchock-like 1960s thriller but there were some really fun moments and Paul Newman is the primary reason the film works at all and is well worth checking out.
The Plague of the Zombies Blu-ray Review
The Plague of Zombies is an okay little horror movie with an interesting enough premise and has enough of the cheese factor to make it entertaining enough.
