Usually the western genre isn’t my thing, but even so, Warlock is well made and features a great cast headlined by Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn.
Baby the Rain Must Fall Blu-ray Review
Steve McQueen is probably my favorite ‘old school’ Hollywood superstars and while I don’t think Baby the Rain Must Fall is one of his better movies but he does deliver a brilliant performance.
Morituri Blu-ray Review
Morituri is a well made World War II drama featuring two great performances from Marlon Brando and Yul Brynner.
Isn’t it Romantic Blu-ray Review
Isn’t it Romantic might not be a great movie but for sure better than I expected, especially given Rebel Wilson actually displayed some charm and wasn’t at all obnoxious like she was in Pitch Perfect 3; this is probably worthy as a rental.
When a Stranger Calls Back Blu-ray Review
When a Stranger Calls Back isn’t as good as the original, at least from my memory, but does contain a few genuinely thrilling scenes starting out with the first 20-mintes which was well shot and acted.

Batman & Robin 4K Ultra HD Review
Batman & Robin is just an all around terrible movie and truly a corporate movie made to sell toys, but thankfully it did tank at the box office ushering in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, but man this movie did not improve, even on the so bad its good level.
Batman Forever 4K Ultra HD Review
Batman Forever certainly was a change-up for the franchise after the very dark turn in Batman Returns and to say it’s a 180 is putting it lightly. Although I acknowledge it’s not good, I do have an affinity for the movie due to nostalgia.
Batman Returns 4K Ultra HD Review
Batman Returns is one of the least favorite of all the Batman movies over the years, though it is far more competently made than Batman & Robin, and I still enjoyed Michael Keaton in the lead.
Batman 4K Ultra HD Review
Batman (1989) was a transformative superhero movie taking a character that largely was known as a light-hearted joke and turning him into the rightfully brooding and Dark Knight.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi 4K Ultra HD Review
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is an even-keeled telling of the events of that night with minimal political undertones sticking with the actual attacks. The performances are all well done highlighted by James Badge Dale and John Krasinski.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is a well done conclusion to the nearly decade-long franchise featuring a well told, if not basic, story to go along with some beautiful animation and nice voice work by the ensemble cast.

Crank 4K Ultra HD Review
Crank is a fun and rather entertaining flick even with the frenetic (though I know it’s in keeping with the adrenaline theme) direction, though works mostly for Jason Statham who does well even with some limited character development.
Greta Blu-ray Review
Greta was actually a disappointing movie. What could’ve been a fun little B-flick instead had a half-baked script and some rather forgettable performances from both Huppert and Moretz, the former never quite disturbing or menacing.
Happy Death Day 2U Blu-ray Review
Happy Death Day 2U doesn’t make a whole lot of sense though in fairness, they set aside any of the science for the horror and comedy elements where the film does succeed quite well, this also makes for a solid double-header with the first film.
Cold Pursuit 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Review
Cold Pursuit is kind of standard action-thriller fair for Liam Neeson and while the script and supporting characters aren’t the strongest, it is an enjoyable enough film.
