Come Play Blu-ray Review
Come Play is a simple but effective enough fantasy-horror film that features some nice scenes though I can’t say I was ever quite frightened very much, however I assume young teens might get something out of it.
Elysium 4K Ultra HD Review
Elysium doesn’t exactly reach the potential since the actual Elysium only makes up less than half the film, the rest taking place on Earth. That being said, the action is well done and the film did manage to entertain me.

The Man from Hong Kong: The Limited Edition Series Blu-ray Review
The Man from Hong Kong may not be a top notch 1970s martial arts film and its star doesn’t have the charisma of a Bruce Lee but I had a good old time and some of the fights and stunt work was respectable.

The Allnighter Blu-ray Review
The Allnighter isn’t exactly a quintessential movie from the 1980s, probably not even second tier either, and while it’s pretty safe but it’s light-hearted entertainment.
Jetsons: The Movie 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.
The Parallax View: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
The Parallax View is an entertaining if not a bit far-fetched conspiracy theory political thriller born out of the Kennedy assassination. Warren Beatty delivers a solid performance, even if some shots seem to be for a GQ photo shoot.

Elizabethtown: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Elizabethtown isn’t Cameron Crowe’s strongest work but has some heartfelt moments, plus some nice scenes between Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst, though the plot at times felt a little disjointed.

The Underneath Blu-ray Review
The Underneath isn’t a strong film from Steven Soderbergh but has its moments and the performances from Peter Gallagher and Alison Elliott were quite noteworthy.
Love Story: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Love Story is a classic romantic-drama that features two lovely performances by Ryan O’Neal and, especially, Ali MacGraw. By today’s standards this is probably a better acted of something you would find on Lifetime.

Freaky 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.
