Shazam might not be a top tiered superhero movie and not near my personal top even amongst DC’s lineup, but it is still a lot of fun and Zachary Levi embodies the role so well and can’t wait to see what he and director Sandberg have in store.
Dead Trigger Blu-ray Review
Dead Trigger is one terrible movie and one added to the list of bad video game adaptations. The acting is pretty bad but worse, just a mess of a production as a whole; no wonder this sat on the shelf for a couple of years.
Mother Wore Tights Blu-ray Review
Mother Wore Tights is a well made 1940s era musical and while it wasn’t always my thing as I generally am not the biggest fan of the genre, it was still mildly enjoyable.
Hussy Blu-ray Review
Hussy is a finely acted drama headlined by the amazing Helen Mirren to go along with John Shea, whom I will always know as Lex Luthor on Lois & Clark, makes a solid feature film debut.
Hello, Frisco, Hello Blu-ray Review
I mentioned it before but I’m not a big fan of musicals, with few exceptions, but Hello, Frisco, Hello wasn’t half bad holding some charm thanks to Alice Faye.
Savage Harbor (Death Feud) Blu-ray Review
Savage Harbor at times is your run-of-the-mill bad thrillers from the 80s but there are moments that were truly (unintentionally) hilarious with bad acting, writing, editing and direction, all the elements to make a good bad movie.

Corvette Summer Blu-ray Review
Corvette Summer is a fun coming-of-age film that probably not many remember or know about. Mark Hamill and Annie Potts certainly make an interesting and non-conventional pairing aiding well in the romantic aspect of the movie.
Gaslight Blu-ray Review
Gaslight is a well made 1940s-era suspense-thriller featuring wonderful performances from Ingrid Bergman (who won an Oscar) as well as Charles Boyer and Angela Lansbury in her first feature film (and she was nominated for an Academy Award).
Les Misérables Blu-ray Review
I’m not terribly familiar with source material but found this PBS mini-series has wonderful performances from Dominic West and David Oyelowo along with some rich production and costume designs.
Universal Horror Collection: Volume 1
The Universal Horror Collection: Volume 1 set is a great release from Shout Factory includes four Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi starring films, all of varying quality but any fan of either actor or just the era, will find this collection well worth picking up.
How to Stuff a Wild Bikini Blu-ray Review
How to Stuff a Wild Bikini is a time capsule of the beach party movies of the 1960s that made names of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. It’s not very good but still pretty safe and does have a certain innocent charm.

NASA: A Journey Through Space Blu-ray Review
NASA: A Journey Through Space is a disappointing and frankly amateurish documentary series that merely utilizes public domain archive footage and sound bites rather than putting in the work and conduct actual interviews.

The Aftermath Blu-ray Review
The Aftermath is by no means great but the performances from Keira Knightley, Alexander Skarsgård and Jason Clarke does make this well worth a rental .
Space Station 4K Ultra HD Review
Space Station is a fascinating and up-close look at the ISS and although it’s not terribly in-depth and likely was an amazing experience seeing it in an IMAX theater and in 3D, this is still worth checking out.
Silent Hill: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Silent Hill is certainly one of the better video game adaptations, and while that might not say much considering how much crap has been out there, I will say there are some genuinely good things about this one.
