Big Fish is perhaps one of my favorite films from Tim Burton, one with a wonderful emotional core and features great performances from Albert Finney and Ewan McGregor.
Django 4K Ultra HD Review
Django may not be a favorite of spaghetti western in my book but it’s still well done with a good performance from lead actor Franco Nero and features some good fight and action sequences.
Cosmic Sin Blu-ray Review
I can’t say Cosmic Sin was a disappointment because I went in with lose expectations which were easily met. This isn’t a fun or entertaining movie to watch with one-dimensional characters and a really thin plot and bland villains.
Above Suspicion Blu-ray Review
Above Suspicion might’ve had an interesting story at its core but it made for a better subject on that episode of “Betrayed” than a feature film, although I will give props to Emilia Clarke who delivered a fine performance.
Deep Blood Blu-ray Review

Chaos Walking 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Chaos Walking has a more interesting back story than the story itself. The concept is interesting but the plot muddles along and outside of a couple decent scenes and performances from Holland and Ridley, doesn’t have very much memorable going for it.

Beverly Hills 90210: The Ultimate Collection DVD Review
Beverly Hills 90210 was not a show I had grown up watching as I was only around 9/10 when it first aired and never got into even during my teen years, however it has stood the test of time as a fun primetime soap opera.

The Final Countdown 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
The Final Countdown is a thinly plotted but ultimately entertaining sci-fi mystery drama featuring the legendary Kirk Douglas in the lead. While it’s more or less an expanded episode of the old Twilight Zone series, it’s still a fun time.

CSI: NY – The Complete Series DVD Review
CSI: NY was probably my second favorite of the three shows in the franchise, though CSI: Miami has some amazingly good-bad moments whereas this is pretty straight forward, and I do love Gary Sinise in the lead alongside a nice supporting cast.
Mission: Impossible: 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review
Mission: Impossible may be dated in terms of the technology used and some of the dialogue was clunky in order to set up some of the story, but I still was entertained by this first outing of what would become a long-running franchise.

Vanquish Blu-ray Review
Vanquish is your typical direct-to-video (or digital) film that might have a great actor like Morgan Freeman and an adequate actress in Ruby Rose, but everything else doesn’t quite work, B/C level stuff that happened to get some recognizable faces.
