Oklahoma Crude is a very well done film from legendary filmmaker Stanley Kramer with an absolutely great cast that includes George C. Scott, Faye Dunaway and Jack Palance.

The Marine 6: Close Quarters Blu-ray Review
The Marine 6: Close Quarters actually wasn’t a terrible movie and might be a step above the previous entries if only for a couple moments that were actually surprising and unpredictable.

The True Story of Jesse James
The True Story of Jesse James is an alright western and being someone who’s not the biggest fan of the genre, found it entertaining enough, led way by the tough-as-nails Robert Wagner.
Out of Time: Special Edition Blu-ray Review
Out of Time is a serviceable suspense-thriller mainly for the charisma of its cast, primarily Denzel Washington and to some extent, Eva Mendes, as well as John Billingsley in the comedy relief role.

The Critters Collection Blu-ray Review
This Critters Collection is another nicely done work from Shout through their Scream Factory line featuring two solid movies and two… not so good ones. The transfers are all relatively well done and the features packaged together were fantastic.
Critters 4 Blu-ray Review
I suppose there are worse ways to spend 90-minutes than sitting through Critters 4, even if the titular creatures don’t seem to have as much screen time with only two on-screen kills. Of note, though, the inclusions of Angela Bassett and Brad Dourif did make it more interesting.
Critters 3 Blu-ray Review
Critters 3 is a step down from the previous installments but still fun, albeit more seeing Leonardo DiCaprio before he made it internationally huge some years later with Titanic. The rest of the cast were fine and the Critter designs were still impressive.
Critters 2: The Main Course Blu-ray Review
Critters 2: The Main Course might not be as good as the original, but the humor still mostly worked and I actually enjoyed the interactions between the critter bounty hunters, each of them providing a bit more personality (and seriously, wouldn’t have minded seeing some sort of spin-off).

Critters Blu-ray Review
Critters is a fun first film in the quadrilogy with some really impressive puppetry and animatronic work to go along with just a enjoyable flick from the silly beginning to the even sillier finale.
Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey: Collector’s Edition (Steelbook) Blu-ray Review
Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey isn’t my favorite of the two movies and I know one has its fanbase, but for me, it never quite worked, though does have some interesting visuals.

Streets of Fire: 35th Anniversary Edition (Steelbook) Blu-ray Review
Streets of Fire is a rare breed of film that features a unique yet familiar style and with some interesting casting choices, two of them brilliant with the young Diane Lane and Willem Dafoe.

Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride DVD Review
Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride is, even by low budget standards, a rather poorly made horror film though I’ll give it this, the make-up effects were at least halfway decent.
Urban Legends: Final Cut Blu-ray Review
Urban Legends: Final Cut was a poorly made horror sequel to a movie that wasn’t all that good, though at least in that case I appreciate the passion behind it, this one seemed to be cooked from numerous producers.
Urban Legend: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Urban Legend is one of many slasher movies to come out of the late 1990s/early 2000s thanks to the massive success of Scream. I never was a big fan of the movie mainly because I never found it all that scary.

Rambo III 4K Ultra HD Review
Rambo III is easily the weaker of the original three films of the series with the action not quite measuring up to the first two and even Stallone felt a bit wary with his performance that didn’t feel very energetic. Still, it was moderately entertaining.
