Although I have not fully grasped the cultural influence The Goonies has had over the past 35 years, I still found the movie to be a fun, adventurous romp with one of the better ensemble gathered who had such great chemistry with one another.
Ghost Ship: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Ghost Ship is the worst kind of horror movie. It’s pretty darn dull, nothing especially frightening although I’ll give it some props for a decent set design and gore effects, just not much else going for it.

Ghost in the Shell (1995) 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Ghost in the Shell still has its influence all these years later and is telling that studios continue to re-release the movie and although I sometimes criticize double or triple dips, at least here in North America, this could be the definitive release.

Pitch Black 4K Ultra HD Review
Pitch Black is a movie I just could not get in to, be it the sloppy/choppy quick editing, weird image stretching effects that were overly employed in the 1990s or the thin story and characters, it’s a film that has garnered plenty of fans.
The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection is a nice selection of four Alfred Hitchcock films to get the 4K treatment, which is pretty good for what I’m Universal had the rights to.

Beetlejuice 4K Ultra HD Review
Beetlejuice is still a fun and creative movie from Tim Burton featuring Michael Keaton giving it his all in his few scenes as the titular character.
The Dead Zone Blu-ray Review
The Dead Zone doesn’t quite enter into classic territory for me, but I did generally find it entertaining thanks to a charismatic enough performance from Christopher Walken who actually plays the lead fairly straight.
Roman Holiday: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
Roman Holiday marks its Blu-ray debut through the “Paramount Presents” line and the film looks as good as possible with more than adequate lossless audio along with most of the bonus material being ported over.

Z Blu-ray Review
Z is a slow burn of a movie that can be a struggle to get through, although the very least liked Keegan Connor Tracy, just a shame she didn’t get a better script to work with.
Supergirl: The Complete Fifth Season Blu-ray Review
Supergirl: The Complete Fifth Season still has similar struggles from its previous season with the writing and storytelling, and similar troubles to the later seasons of Arrow, but I still like Melissa Benoist in the role.

The Flash: The Complete Sixth Season Blu-ray Review
The Flash: The Complete Sixth Season is still the best of the CW DC shows thanks in large part to the performance by Grant Gustin and a nice ensemble cast, especially Candice Patton and Tom Cavanagh, and some decent storylines.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Superman: Man of Tomorrow is the beginnings of a new animated universe now that the previous New 52 inspired one concluded. The animation style is my biggest question mark but I did enjoy the introductions for both Lobo and Martian Manhunter.

Bad Education Blu-ray Review
Bad Education tells an interesting story in one of the more uninteresting ways, as it’s not terribly engaging. That being said, Hugh Jackman gives yet another amazing performance.
Ghost: Paramount Presents Blu-ray Review
At times Ghost can be a bit on the cheesy side but the performances of Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg sell it just enough to make it an effective supernatural romantic drama.
