Rush Week Blu-ray Review
Rush Week is one of those quentisential movies that gets lost in the shuffle and frankly, while not bad and actually competently edited and directed, deserves to be amongst the forgotten horror-slashers.
The Day of the Beast 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
The Day of the Beast is an oft warped horror/black comedy that, even with the dated effects, is still plenty of fun thanks to the performances and oddball storyline.

Irma Vep: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
From time to time there are movies that I get to watch that I normally probably wouldn’t have heard of or passed by, and Irma Vep came as a pleasant surprise with a wholly engaging character-centric story.

The Reckoning Blu-ray Review
Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.

Spaceballs (Kino Lorber) 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Spaceballs is a classic comedy from Mel Brooks, one that I’ve seen a few times over the years and while it’s not a favorite of mine, still makes for and fun and enjoyable 96-minute watch.

Perdita Durango 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Perdita Durango was an engaging and, in a twisted way, entertaining romantic-thriller featuring two fantastic performances by Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem, both of whom should’ve gotten some major award recognition.

Southland Tales (Arrow Video) Blu-ray Review
Southland Tales no doubt was ambitious and back in the day, based purely off of Donnie Darko, I looked forward to it, but the blend of political satire/commentary and end-of-the-world science fiction never gelled.

A Scream in the Streets Blu-ray Review
Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.

Wonder Woman 1984 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Wonder Woman 1984 was a disappointment, especially when compared with the first film and while I had plenty of issues with some of the story elements, I can’t say it’s bad and probably worthy of a rental or outright purchase to add to ones superhero collection.

Psycho Goreman Blu-ray Review
Psycho Goreman is a throwback to 1980s/1990s horror-fantasy akin to Power Rangers, just with gore and irreverent humor. Not my cup of tea but is fun enough for those with a nostalgia hankering.
