A Clockwork Orange might be a classic and I can see some of its attributes with the style and acting from Malcolm McDowell, but for myself I found it difficult to sit through, mainly for a lack of interest in what was going on.

Alone in the Dark: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Alone in the Dark is a very entertaining slasher-horror-thriller that came out of the early 1980s that bucks the trend of having a bunch of teenagers being slaughtered by some faceless psycho, instead three scary individuals.

Death Screams Blu-ray Review
Death Screams is a film that some may find charming as a “regional” independent film, having been shot in North Carolina. For me, I thought a fair portion was rather dull with characters that failed to resonate.
Catch the Bullet Blu-ray Review
Catch the Bullet was just an ill-fated Western-thriller that features subpar acting from a C-level cast who, in fairness, were not helped by bad dialogue and an overall screenplay.

Twist Blu-ray Review
Sometimes these modernized adaptations of classics can work or at least be bizarre and out there (see Romeo+Julet or 2000’s Hamlet) but it doesn’t seem Oliver Twist in this setting quite works on any level. As a heist film it’s bland and as suspense-thriller lacks any tension.

Batwoman: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray Review
I’m not entirely sure how producers can right the ship but with a really mediocre first season and downright messy season two; the writing is probably the biggest culprit more so than the production value, which does sometimes look rather cheap.

The Equalizer: Season One DVD Review
The Equalizer: Season One has its moments and can say it was pretty entertaining; I just have questions whether Queen Latifah was the right fit as McCall as there seems to be better options out there.
