Marriage Story: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review

Marriage Story is a bittersweet drama featuring two incredible, award-worthy, performances (not to take away from Laura Dern who was great in her own right) by both Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver.

Sherlock Holmes 4K Ultra HD Review

Sherlock Holmes is a fun take on the classic character and while the pacing is a bit off and even after all these years not sure about RDJ’s portrayal, the actor does have charisma in spades helping to keep this as an entertaining mystery-thriller.

I Am Vengeance: Retaliation Blu-ray Review

I Am Vengeance: Retaliation had the hallmarks to be a fun and light action-thriller and instead is a monotonous and tedious mess not helped by a lead who, at least with this material, doesn’t quite have the charisma compared to his wrestling actor cohorts.

The House by the Cemetery 4K Ultra HD Review

The House by the Cemetery might have its merits and perhaps die-hard fans of Lucio Fulci may find it entertaining, but for myself it was more confusing and even tedious. However, the 4K release does have great video and audio transfers.

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.

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.
