Blind Date is a fun little romantic-comedy that, with the casting of Bruce Willis, tries to capture the rivalry/romance of “Moonlighting” which was into its second season when this was released in 1987.
Star Trek: Enterprise: Season Three Blu-ray Review
“Star Trek: Enterprise”: Season Three is the “Star Trek” fans wanted providing for some amazing stories and a season-long story arc to go along with remarkable performances from the core cast.

You’re Next Blu-ray Review
Although I wasn’t completely transfixed with You’re Next as some, it’s still a halfway decently entertaining horror-comedy that well worth a shot if you are a fan of the genre.
Sweetwater Blu-ray Review
Sweetwater is actually not a bad little western/thriller featuring a well-rounded story and, especially, a fantastic crew headlined by January Jones, Ed Harris and Jason Isaacs who each give near-phenomenal performances.
Thief Blu-ray Review
Thief is a solid crime-drama from Michael Mann and a wonderful performance from James Caan, perhaps one of the best of his career.
Prisoners Blu-ray Review
Prisoners is certainly one of the better movies to come out of 2013, though I do think it was a tad overrated given the hype. However, the performances from Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal are brilliant and the atmosphere brought by Villeneuve and DP Deakins is absolutely absorbing.
Hell Baby Blu-ray Review
In spite of a truly funny beginning, Hell Baby does tend to wear out its welcome even though the ending is satisfactory enough. However, if you enjoyed “Reno 911” and “Children’s Hospital”, the comedic styles will definitely be up your ally and help get through some of duller and dumber moments.
Force of Execution Blu-ray Review
Force of Execution is yet another lame direct-to-video action movie that serves only for producer/star Steven Seagal to get together with friends and have a good ‘ole time, coherent plot be damned.
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad Blu-ray Review
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is yet another solid release by Twilight Time and a coup for fans of the fantasy series

Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear Blu-ray Review
This direct-to-video sequel to a movie I frankly barely heard of and never seen, actually wasn’t bad. Despite a kind of lame subtitle, Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear isn’t a bad movie with well choreographed fight scenes and on the whole a nicely framed picture from director Isaac Florentine.

Royal Flash Blu-ray Review
Royal Flash is a fun adventure-comedy with what is a deplorable central character but played so perfectly by the energetic and personable Malcolm McDowell, though from my reading, fans of the novel weren’t overly thrilled with the adaptation.
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Blu-ray Review
I might take some heat for saying this, but I didn’t think The Mortal Instruments was that bad of a movie. No, the cast wasn’t exactly the best with a few roles needing re-casting, but the story was at least half-coherent, if not sloppy, and Lily Collins for her part seemed to have carried the main role fairly well.

20th Century Fox Studio Classics Blu-ray Review
This round 20th Century Fox Studio Classics releases gives a wide range of movies for any fan of the era going from the 1930s to the 1960s. Each movie provides excellent video and audio transfers and although the features are limited, those with commentary tracks are well worth listening to.

Man of Tai Chi Blu-ray Review
Man of Tai Chi, a kung-fu flick (which I’ve never been a huge fan of), is not a bad flick. Surprisingly well directed by Keanu Reeves, the movie features some great fight sequences and choreography and fine performances from Reeves and Tiger Chen.
The Lone Ranger Blu-ray Review
The Lone Ranger might’ve been a good movie but on a much smaller and simpler scale but instead the filmmakers attempted to recreate some of the conditions which made the Pirates of the Caribbean movies monumental successes down to Johnny Depp playing yet another make-up wearing quirky character. The action scenes aren’t that fun and get a bit tedious.
