Strange But True is a finely acted drama and sufficiently directed film, but it’s also rather dull and includes a twist that seems straight out of a Lifetime Movie.

3 From Hell is the latest from Rob Zombie and personally (though didn’t wholly mind his Halloween remake), I’m not the biggest fan of his, though certainly acknowledge he does have a unique style to his movies.

Universal Soldier is a flawed film, even a little amateurish in some respects especially with the direction by Emmerich, but still a fun enough flick pairing up Van Damme and Lundgren.

Doom: Annihilation could’ve been dumb fun, as the 2005 version had elements of though overall still failed, and instead is just another in a long line of poorly made video game to film adaptations.

Teen Titans Go vs. Teen Titans is a fun family-friendly animated comedy that has enough for fans of all ages, though many of the humor is still oriented more towards a younger audience, yet I still had a blast with this.

Ultraman, which is the Series 2 of the franchise, is another fun season with for sure some outlandish story elements but a cool mash-up of the likes of X-Files, Twin Speaks and The Twilight Zone.

Ultra Q: Series 01 isn’t a series I ever really heard of, but I’m also hardly an expert on Japanese television either, so going in to this for the first time, this was a pretty cool show, kind of a combination of The X-Files with Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone.

Scarface might not rank up there with other classics in the crime-drama genre, but it’s a great film combining the talents of Oliver Stone’s scriptwriting and Brian De Palma’s direction, alongside the performances by Pacino, Pfeiffer and Mastrantonio.

Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle exemplifies the early 2000s so damn well, and yes I realize McG was parodying the action schlock from that time period (like M:I2) but doesn’t do it very well, or at least the humor rarely lands.

Red Heat is a sometimes engaging and entertaining 1980s-era actioner but the pairing of Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Belushi never had much of on-screen chemistry, though if you’re a fan of action schlock, probably worth checking out.

The Star Trek: Picard – Movie & TV Collection is not a release for fans of the franchise but those who have a low or at best moderate interest in the series but never purchased the original TNG movie collection.

If there’s such a thing as a breezy thriller, Crawl would be it. There might not be much of a story but I was at least moderately entertained thanks to Kaya Scodelario’s physically demanding performance and thus this is probably worthy of a rental.

A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish is the fifth in the series and for the most part, these are pretty innocent that younger viewers might love.

While An American Werewolf in London wasn’t quite the cult classic some feel it is, but it is quite entertaining experience with a good performance from David Naughton alongside some respectable make-up and special effects.

Toy Story 4, while hardly the best in the franchise, is still a great bookend, maybe not so much for the group as a whole, but instead for the beloved Woody character and in turn, the life Tom Hanks gave him.
