The Sea Wolf is a wonderful sea-adventure flick released back in 1941 and features some great performances including Edward G. Robinson and amazing Academy Award nominated special effects.
Impractical Jokers: The Complete Fifth Season DVD
Impractical Jokers: The Complete Fifth Season is pretty much up to snuff with its previous seasons and the jokes, as well as challenges, still are quite funny. The only downside is these season sets aren’t as well done probably because TruTV constantly reruns past episodes every day.

Down (a.k.a. The Shaft) BD + Screen Caps
Down (aka The Shaft) is an incredibly flawed but yet still quite entertaining supernatural horror flick that doesn’t have many surprises to offer and the writing isn’t the best, though watching this amongst friends makes for a good time.
The Collection BD + Screen Caps
The Collection is a very well made UK production featuring some great performances, Richard Coyle especially, and some excellent and award-worthy production/costume designs.
The Hidden BD + Screen Caps
The Hidden was quite the, well, gem, of a movie that I never really heard of, a film that was released in 1987 but got lost. My hope is with this Blu-ray release it’ll find some sort of bigger cult status as it is an incredibly fun flick.
Reign: The Complete Fourth Season DVD
Reign was never a show I could get into. As I mentioned previously, it is a glossy, CW-ized version of Game of Thrones (so basically no foul language, lewd sex scenes or graphic violence) but amongst the ‘tween crowd, they might eat up the cast and storylines.
The House BD + Screen Caps
Although not a terrible movie, or at least as terrible as I feared, The House was a misfire of a project for the normally, box office while anyway, Will Ferrell and even though I did manage to laugh a time or two, it is an entirely forgettable movie.
Within DVD
Within is a slow-plodding suspense-horror film that takes a bit too much time to get going but the finale isn’t half bad though hardly saves it, yet this might be worthy of a rental, not much more than that.
Superman: The Movie: Extended Cut Blu-ray Review
It is quite the time we live in for media, even if the physical is on the decline, as now after decades where it lived only on the bootleg forum, we finally get to see Superman: The Movie – Extended Cut aka the TV Version, restored in HD and although I’ll be sticking with the other version.

Bushwick BD + Screen Caps
Although the one-shot style was interesting and the performances from both Dave Bautista and Brittany Snow were alright, I did find the premise to be utterly ludicrous though obviously this was a metaphor of today’s politics.
iZombie: The Complete Third Season BD + Screen Caps
iZombie: The Complete Third Season is another triumphant year for this adaptation of the Vertigo comic book, succeeding with both sharp writing and a charismatic cast headlined by Rose McIver.

Land of the Dead: Collector’s Edition BD + Screen Caps
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Land of the Dead when I saw it many years ago, but seeing it again now, I really enjoyed this entry within the Romero canon as the social commentary, albeit in your face, is present and there are characters one can actually care for.

Dawn of the Dead: Collector’s Edition BD + Screen Caps
Dawn of the Dead is one of only a few horror remakes that was any good (off the top of my head, The Thing and The Fly are others) and as Zack Snyder’s feature film debut it’s a solid start as this was quite entertaining even if the social commentary gives way to cool action.

Riverdale: The Complete First Season BD + Screen Caps
Riverdale: The Complete First Season actually was far better than I expected even if some of the teen angst clichés are present, but the cast is mostly likeable with Camila Mendes probably being the standout of the bunch. I commend the writers for this compelling freshman season.

Girls Trip BD + Screen Caps
I know Girls Trip received plenty of praise but I found this to be dreadfully unfunny in spite of a respectable cast, outside of Tiffany Haddish since I’m not familiar with her work.
