Deep Blue Sea 3 still isn’t nearly as entertaining as the original but is a step up from its predecessor and at least does have a few scenes that were rather fun.
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie – Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie has two decent stories, one was dull and the other, the wrap-around, so-so. Still, it’s an anthology film worth checking out.

Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons Blu-ray Review
Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons is a well done animated movie and good enough substitution for a live action feature that is unlikely to happen. I did like the story, bridging together the character’s interesting backstory.

Batwoman: The Complete First Season Blu-ray Review
Batwoman is pretty much in line with other CW shows, meaning the writing, and dialogue, aren’t exactly top notch and here even the acting never quite jives, even Ruby Rose whom I really like, never fit.

The Phantom of the Opera: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
The Phantom of the Opera is an entertaining enough adaptation thanks to a heartfelt performance from Herbert Lom. The Blu-ray release from Shout Factory has a good selection of bonus features and high-quality video/audio transfers.

The High Note Blu-ray Review
The High Note is a fine music-drama-comedy with some good performances from Dakota Johnson and Tracee Ellis Ross, but can’t say this is a terribly memorable film and unlikely will remember a month from now.
P.O. Box Tinto Brass Blu-ray Review
There is no doubt Tinto Brass is a fascinating character and filmmaker, mostly known for directing Caligula, and these two films, P.O. Box Tinto Brass and IsTintoBrass gives some insights into the man, the second one especially.
The Sin of Nora Moran Blu-ray Review
The Sin of Nora Moran is a fine film that by today’s standards is really tame, though I can imagine back in the pre-code era, it probably played far differently. Even so, it’s a short film worth checking out.
The Specials: 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review
The Specials has some aspects of a young James Gunn personality though the humor is a bit raw as is the plot, which was done better in 1999’s Mystery Men.

The Eleventh Commandment Blu-ray Review
The Eleventh Commandment is perhaps the worst kind of bad movie, an all around boring one. I can’t think of one thing that really stands out, not the characters, kills, plot, villains, nothing.
James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction
James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction is a must-watch for any fan of cinema, science fiction or otherwise, and while you’re not going to really learn very much new information but do hear from some experts in the genre or involved with it over the years.
Robert the Bruce Blu-ray Review
Robert the Bruce, although not a sequel, picks up where the events of Braveheart left off and stars Angus Mcfaden (who also co-scripted) and Jared Harris. The Blu-ray release comes with a commentary and a featurette.
Pride and Prejudice (1940) Blu-ray Review
Pride and Prejudice, starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, comes to Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection coming with an excellent video and solid audio transfers, alongside a few bonus features.

Haven Blu-ray Review
Haven isn’t one of the top notch amongst the interconnected ensemble dramas and really doesn’t have a whole lot to say, though thankfully not as heavy-handed but I generally thought the performances were alright at least.
Pennyworth: The Complete First Season Blu-ray Review
Pennyworth is the latest series based on characters from DC Comics, this time getting the suspense-filled drama about the background for the future Wayne butler, Alfred. The season arrived on Blu-ray June 23rd.
