The Virgin Suicides: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review

The Virgin Suicides is a movie that didn’t have a huge impact on me then and now I can appreciate it for its direction and the performances, but nothing else otherwise in terms of any emotional impact.

80s Overdrive: 6 Movie Collection Blu-ray Review

The 80s Overdrive: 6 Movie Collection is just another re-package job by Mill Creek, a few triple dipping at this point. I guess if you didn’t already own any of these movies, and considering its low SRP, might be worth picking up, otherwise skip.

Scared to Death: Horror Movie Collection DVD

This is a case of quantity over quality here, though there are a couple of decent films like Vacancy and I Know What You Did Last Summer (if you like late 90s slasher horror) but otherwise these are movies previously released by Mill Creek re-packaged together.

Paddington 2 BD + Screen Caps

Paddington 2 is an entertaining film for the entire family and I’m sure fans of the Berenstain Bear books will get a kick out of this sequel, but even if you’re like me and are a part of only 1% of the population unfamiliar, it is still is quite fun.

Cyborg: Collector’s Edition BD + Screen Caps

Cyborg had all the hallmarks of being a fun good bad 1980s sci-fi action movie and while there are certainly some great moments, still get a chuckle out of Tremolo growls, there’s too much of it that is derivative that it became a bit boring at times.

A Pistol for Ringo/The Return of Ringo BD + Screen Caps

I’m not exactly a fan of westerns in general, only enjoying the more mainstream or obvious like Unforgiven and A Fistful of Dollars, but these two Ringo movies were well produced and lead actor Giuliano Gemma had great charisma.
