The Final Word on Physical Media
Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge may have had the blueprint for a fun time but I found parts to be pretty bland, including the Phantom himself who wasn’t at all frightening or someone I felt sorry for.

Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence is one of those movies where the behind-the-scenes drama is probably far more interesting than the movie itself, which was a patchwork mess that isn’t very entertaining.

Maniac Cop 2 is by no means great, but still has some entertainment value with some decent stunt work even if the story doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
I Spit on Your Grave is certainly one of the more uncomfortable movies to come out of the 1970s and while it’s not ‘entertaining’, there are aspects to respect like the atmosphere along with a brave performance from Camille Keaton.

Josie and the Pussycats isn’t great but certainly a fun and entertaining timewaster thanks to a good cast led by Rachel Leigh Cook and some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments.

It’s that time of year again, a time to spend with family after more than a year of hardship and while there might be issues with a supply chain and more and more are going back to work, there’s still time to spend indoors especially with the weather getting colder and I’ve got a list here of some great titles from a variety of genres, there’s something for everybody.
Splitting Heirs is a slapstick comedy starring Rick Moranis, Eric Idle, Barbara Hershey and John Cleese and arrived on Blu-ray with a retro-style VHS slip cover on October 19th.
The Hills Have Eyes is by no means a favorite horror movie of mine despite being directed by the great Wes Craven, but it is certainly watchable with some respectable production value for the low budget along with decent enough performances.
The Last of Sheila was a surprisingly well done murder-mystery that was co-written by Anthony Perkins and features a nice ensemble cast headlined by James Coburn with an early role for Ian McShane.

The Middle-Earth: Ultimate Collector’s Edition set is a nice looking collection and a unique packaging that looks good on a bookshelf. The new features are fine and all and glad all of the commentaries are there, but disappointing that none of the extensive supplements were ported over.

Vanilla Sky is probably my favorite movie from Cameron Crowe, or at least one that hit more of an emotional core, although I also loved Almost Famous. The performance by Tom Cruise might not be his best but he’s in his element as is Penelope Cruz.

L.A. Story is a comfort movie, nothing overly complicated and the conflict pretty light, to go along with some of the quirky scenes. It’s just an all around fun flick that still holds up thanks to Steve Martin with both his performance and writing.
Reminiscence is a film that I’ve felt like I’ve seen before (not a pun), but beyond the familiarity, despite a respectable cast, all of whom seemed to give it their all, the core relationship between Jackman and Ferguson never gelled.
