Murder in the Big House is a tight little crime-drama with some fine performances from its lead, particularly Van Johnson and Faye Emerson.
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt BD + Screen Caps
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt is a well made and taut crime-drama featuring some wonderful performances by Dana Andrews and John Fontaine, to go along with a twist-filled story.

The Handmaid’s Tale: Season One BD
No Escape is an all around entertaining film perfect for a Saturday movie night. No, it doesn’t make you think or have any profound performances but the acting isn’t bad with Owen Wilson serving as a fine everyman type of character and Pierce Brosnan in his small part is a lot of fun. This is probably worthy of a rental.
The Chastity Belt DVD
The Chastity Belt isn’t consistently funny but did have a few amusing moments, though it did get a few extra points just for the cover which I still continue to chuckle at.
The ‘Burbs: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
The ‘Burbs is one fun comedy with a dash of horror that excels primarily due to Tom Hanks’ charms versus anything with the script or even the character. Not sure why I hadn’t seen it before, but the replay value is high.

Pitch Perfect 3 4K Ultra HD + BD Screen Caps
Pitch Perfect 3 is the conclusion to a trilogy that honestly didn’t need one. I can’t precisely remember why I enjoyed the first two only to say that I did (according to my ratings on IMDb) but this one was pointless and even the music doesn’t overcome a disorganized plot, even though the cast at least seemed to be having a good time.

The Age of Innocence: The Criterion Collection BD + Screen Caps
The Age of Innocence is an all around rich experience between the costumes, production/sets and a fine cast led way by Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer. It certainly was an unusual choice for Martin Scorsese yet like any master filmmaker, really pulled it off.

Suspiria BD + Screen Caps
What Suspiria lacks in substance, both in terms of story and characters, it more than makes up for in incredible and beautiful production design and lighting, as well as some well-tensed scenes.
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash BD + Screen Caps
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash is the latest in these DTV movies and although this isn’t entirely a laugh-riot or anything, especially compared with The LEGO Movie, it was still highly enjoyable with plenty of in-jokes for the DC fans out there.

Children of the Corn: Runaway Blu-ray Review
Children of the Corn: Runaway is merely the latest sequel of a long-running franchise that had an okay first movie while this one was rather weak and, worse yet, a bit on the dull side which then turned into confusion.

Justice League 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Even though I did find Justice League entertaining enough, there’s no denying there was a certain amount of disappointment leading to the build-up and not being able to see what was originally intended, not to mention the deleted footage seen in the various trailers. If you go in just expecting a insubstantial popcorn flick, it’s fine, but it certainly did not live up to the title.

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon – Collector’s Edition BD + Screen Caps
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon was a surprisingly fun take on the slasher horror genre that at times was actually quite clever, only a shame it hasn’t caught on enough to warrant a sequel.

Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero BD + Screen Caps
Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero is a great movie not just compared to other animated ventures within DC’s quality animation arsenal but one hell of a Batman movie in its own right.

Faces Places BD
Faces Places is a charming documentary focusing on artists Agnès Varda and JR, each with their own style and generations apart, and yet they work well opposite one another making the journey so enjoyable and in conjunction with some beautiful landscapes and artistry.
Basket Case BD + Screen Caps
No Escape is an all around entertaining film perfect for a Saturday movie night. No, it doesn’t make you think or have any profound performances but the acting isn’t bad with Owen Wilson serving as a fine everyman type of character and Pierce Brosnan in his small part is a lot of fun.
