Paradise Highway Blu-ray Review
Paradise Road is a movie that has a powerful message and honestly isn’t a bad film with fine performances but in the end never quite makes the impact it was intending and instead was on the forgettable side.
Cool World: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Cool World was an interesting concept and had some fun visuals but the characters were as thinly developed and the story felt sloppy, if not also uninteresting. Had potential but the end result was a mess and not a surprise why I never bothered to re-watch since its release.

The Black Phone Blu-ray Review
The Black Phone is a solid horror-thriller and box office wise another hit from Blumhouse, however I wasn’t quite as enamored compared to others as it got repetitive at times. That being said, I was entertained and Ethan Hawke’s performance was pretty scary.
Event Horizon 4K Ultra HD Review
Event Horizon is a movie I’ve seen a few times and my ratings ranged from 3.25-3.75 with this go-around on the lower end. There is some entertainment value but the film doesn’t exactly reach its full potential.

White Elephant Blu-ray Review
As these direct-to-video flicks go, White Elephant at least had some elements of a stable production and I will say Michael Rooker was good in the lead while the supporting actors didn’t have a whole lot to work with
Flatliners 4K Ultra HD Review
Flatliners might have a solid following and while there were some interesting visual elements and solid cinematography courtesy of Joel Schumacher and Jan de Bont, but the story wasn’t something that captivated me despite a very respectable cast.
