One Missed Call might not be in the top-tier when it comes to the creepy vengeful girl subgenre within J-horror and is entertaining and fairly engaging even with some of the tropes and clichés.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series might be barebones, but nice to see Mill Creek release this in high-definition and in nice packaging (similar to their other series releases like The Mandy Project).

Snatchers Blu-ray Rundown
Snatchers, an out-there sci-fi comedy, comes to Blu-ray from Warner Brothers, set for release on February 18th and stars Mary Nepi and features include an audio commentary, deleted scenes and a featurette.
Motherless Brooklyn Blu-ray Review
Motherless Brooklyn is a nice little passion project from Edward Norton and you can see that come through with his direction and performance. However, that same passion also made for an overly long film.
Xtro 3 Blu-ray Rundown
Vinegar Syndrome releases (cult classic?) Xtro 3 onto the Blu-ray format which comes with a new transfer (what a time we live in) and is available to order on their website with a February 25th release date.
Shutter Island 4K Ultra HD Review
Shutter Island is an effective psychological-thriller featuring some good performances from an impressive cast, but what stood out to me was Scorsese’s precision direction.
When a Stranger Calls Blu-ray Review
When a Stranger Calls is an entertaining suspense-thriller featuring fine performances from lead actors Charles Durning and Carol Kane, and while this is a barebones release by Mill Creek, it is the right price point to pick up.
Edge of the Axe Blu-ray Review
Edge of the Axe has its moments here and there, but too many scenes, especially through the third act, were a bit dull and even with some decent kills, not sure if this is worth the price admission.
Two on a Guillotine Blu-ray Review
Two on the Guillotine comes to the Blu-ray format through the Warner Archive Collection, already available released on January 28. Although there are no features, the video/audio transfers were both well done.
Penelope Blu-ray Review
Penelope is a 1960s-era comedy featuring the lovely Natalie Wood comedy marking its debut on Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection, available now.
Countdown Blu-ray Review
Countdown is a mind-numbingly dumb movie which I wouldn’t mind if it had an ounce of fun to it, and despite liking lead actress Elizabeth Lail, couldn’t save it.
Last Christmas Blu-ray Review
Last Christmas is an imperfect but still enjoyable film from Paul Feig that hinges and succeeds on the chemistry between Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding, and a respectable supporting cast.
Playing with Fire Blu-ray Review
Playing with Fire is strictly made for kids, and perfectly fine to be watched with the parents, and even though some of the jokes don’t land, I at least felt it was a tolerable viewing experience.
Trauma Center Blu-ray Review
Trauma Center is, and this is not saying much, not the worst of these DTV releases I’ve watched, but it’s on the forgettable side with Bruce Willis mailing it in (again), although I did like Nicky Whelan in the lead.
Underwater Blu-ray Review
Underwater is a Howard Hughes’ produced movie that plods along with little suspense and very little in the way of any memorable characters, although at least the underwater photography was impressive, for what it’s worth.
