Crash: The Criterion Collection 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.

Tenet 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Tenet isn’t one of Christopher Nolan’s better movies but there are some interesting elements and the technical aspects like the visual effects, are top notch and although it’s hard to wrap my head around the concept while watching, it is unique.
The Curse of Frankenstein: Two-Disc Special Edition: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
The Curse of Frankenstein isn’t one of the great monster horror movies, even amongst the ones by Hammer Films, but I do appreciate taking a different turn of the classic story with Peter Cushing giving it his all to portraying a more unique version.
The Lost Weekend Blu-ray Review
The Lost Weekend is another very well made movie from Billy Wilder and features the Academy Award winning performance from star Ray Milland (and took home the Oscar for picture, director and writing).
Diva Blu-ray Review
Even with the uncomfortable relationship between an adult and teen (or even pre-teen), Diva is still a unique and entertaining oddball of a drama-thriller featuring some wonderful cinematography.
Fellini’s Casanova Blu-ray Review
Fellini’s Casanova, while not something I liked a whole lot, and on the lengthy side at 2.5 hours, at least did have enough bizarre moments and characters that kept my attention just wondering what the hell I was watching.
Blade 4K Ultra HD Review
Blade is far from perfect and has moments that scream 1990s in its editing but I do like Snipes in the lead and the movie as a whole was somewhat entertaining, warts and all.
Mario Puzo’s The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone Blu-ray Review
Does The Godfather Coda fix all of the issues from Part III? For the most part I’d say yes viewing this as an epilogue does help matters.

The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Ultra HD Review
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is still an incredible feet all these years later and even though I have watched it more than few times, it holds up exceptionally well (side for a couple CGI moments that look off) with a wonderful ensemble cast.

The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Ultra HD Review
I wasn’t totally enamored with The Hobbit Trilogy in my initial viewings and the extended versions didn’t really change my mind, so the same issues remain although I can still appreciate some of the technical aspects at least.

Mad Max 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
It’s easy to see why Mad Max has reached cult status, even with the low budget, director George Miller, along with star Mel Gibson’s on-screen charisma, is still very well regarded 40 years later.
Coming to America 4K Ultra HD Review
Coming to America isn’t as much of a repeat viewing compared with Murphy’s others like Beverly Hills Cop or Trading Places, but it’s still a whole lot of fun.
