Impractical Jokers: The Movie Blu-ray Review
Impractical Jokers is an incredibly funny show throughout its eight seasons and this movie has its moments and a few of the challenges had me laughing though the scripted segments felt like the filler.

Urban Cowboy: 40th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review
Urban Cowboy is an overly long modernistic western-drama that might feature the normally charismatic John Travolta, but here he is playing just an unlikeable character.

Braveheart: 25th Anniversary Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
Braveheart is one hell of a film with a powerful performance from Mel Gibson, even when his Scottish accent wasn’t always the best. Beyond that, his direction was well done with some great choreographed battle scenes.

Sniper: Assassin’s End Blu-ray Review
Sniper: Assassin’s End is not a movie featuring high-octane, finely crafted action or fight sequences and while I was moderately entertained and never found it to be dull, I can’t say this is something I’ll remember down the line.
The Dallas Connection Blu-ray Review
The Dallas Connection is another Sidaris movie that doesn’t really stand out over the rest, though having recently also watched Enemy Gold, does have a more competent plot, take that for what it’s worth, and Julie Strain is beautiful as ever.

Friday the 13th: 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Blu-ray Review
Friday the 13th is certainly a classic slasher-horror and even though it’s not the most well made movie for sure, even seeing it several times over the years, it still holds up really well.

The Hunt Blu-ray Review
The Hunt is a controversial movie that in the end wasn’t all that controversial and instead it’s an entertaining enough horror-thriller-comedy but ultimately not all that memorable.
