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.

First Snow Blu-ray Review
First Snow might not have the strongest writing but performances from both Guy Pearce and J.K. Simmons, albeit a small role, does make this a worthwhile watch.
Wonder Woman: The Complete Collection Blu-ray Review
Wonder Woman in terms of content is a show of its time and I’m sure today’s audiences might have a difficult time sitting through an episode, I still find it fairly entertaining thanks in large part to Lynda Carter’s committed performance.

Even Money Blu-ray Review
I usually enjoy these interconnected ensemble movies but Even Money never quite gelled though the performances from Danny DeVito, Tim Roth were rather good, but not enough to make this a must rental or purchase.
Possession Blu-ray Review
Possession had an interesting premise but not enough to stretch it into feature film length or at least provide some consistent story that was engaging rather than a bit on the dull side.
Scoob! 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Scoob may not satisfy hard-core fans of this long-running franchise but I found it mildly entertaining and the CGI animation was pretty good and for the most part liked the voice casting.
Force of Nature Blu-ray Review
Force of Nature isn’t the worst movie around and from a technical perspective, like most of these Grindstone/EFO pictures, competently made, but the script, and in particular the finale, needed some work.
