Transformers: Limited Edition Steelbooks 6-Movie Collection
The Transformers franchise is hardly great with maybe only the first two being passably entertaining, the rest just action-porn with non-sensical plot and CGI vs. CGI fights that were more tiresome rather than exciting.

The Mask of Zorro (Steelbook) 4K Ultra HD Review
The Mask of Zorro is a fun almost old-fashioned swashbuckling action-adventure with great casting of Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas and a star-making role with Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Shadowlands Blu-ray Review
Shadowlands comes to Blu-ray from Mill Creek Entertainment as part of their retro VHS series. This bio-drama stars Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger.
Zero Contact Blu-ray Review
Zero Contract is a result of the pandemic and maybe I can admire the idea on paper, but in practice this is a snooze-fest of a “thriller” with headliner Anthony Hopkins appearing a bit lost in his few scenes. This is one you can absolutely skip.
The Silence of the Lambs 4K Ultra HD Review
The Silence of the Lambs is easily one of my favorite movies of all-time (top 10) and is probably The Godfather of the suspense-thriller genre with incredible performances from Foster, Hopkins and Levine and an all-around great experience.

Meet Joe Black/Wimbledon Blu-ray Review
This is an odd-pairing, even under the “Girls Night In Double Feature” edition as one is a romance-drama with fantasy while the other is just a typical romance-comedy, but even so both films are alright and at a cheap price worth picking up.
The Virtuoso Blu-ray Review
The Virtuoso is one of those movies that features a main character that one wonders how he became “The Virtuoso” because he makes some dumb mistakes, one wonders how he was such a well oiled assassin.
The Anne Bancroft Collection: Shout Select Blu-ray Review
Anne Bancroft was a fantastic and mesmerizing actress in just about everything she starred in and this collection release from Shout Factory has some of her greats, a few more notable than others.

Mission: Impossible II 4K Ultra HD Review + BD Screen Caps
Mission: Impossible II is easily my least favorite of the five movies in the series, not due to any technical issues, but Woo’s style did not fit in with the core feeling of a Mission: Impossible, not to mention Tom Cruise, as great and deadicated of an actor as he is, looked ridiculous performing kung-fu moves.

Thor: Ragnarok BD + Screen Caps
Thor: Ragnarok was a refreshingly great, even semi-retooling, of the franchise with more aims at comedy than the outlandish plot which bogged down the previous entries, the second especially. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and would gladly re-watch in the future.
The Silence of the Lambs: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
The Silence of the Lambs is easily one of my favorite movies of all-time (top 10) and is probably The Godfather of the suspense-thriller genre with incredible performances from Foster, Hopkins and Levine and an all-around great experience that has held up incredibly well over the years.

Westworld: Season One: The Maze 4K + BD Screen Caps
Westworld: Season One: The Maze isn’t perfect with some stretches meandering at times, but more than making up for it are some excellent performances from the likes of Hopkins, Harris, Newton and others.

Transformers: The Last Knight 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Transformers: The Last Knight is another poor entry into a franchise that just won’t die, though its $605M worldwide gross was the lowest so there is hope. In any case, I didn’t feel this was as bad as Age of Extinction but that’s not saying much.

Review: RED 2 4K + BD Screen Caps
RED 2 isn’t as strong as its predecessor, but still incredibly entertaining thanks to is charming and likeable cast that work well together, even if the plot is a bit forced but that’s a sequel for you.
