No Mercy, as it stands, is not a memorable film but passably entertaining nevertheless though I wasn’t buying the relationship with Gere and Basinger.

Cool World: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Cool World was an interesting concept and had some fun visuals but the characters were as thinly developed and the story felt sloppy, if not also uninteresting. Had potential but the end result was a mess and not a surprise why I never bothered to re-watch since its release.

Even Money Blu-ray Review
I usually enjoy these interconnected ensemble movies but Even Money never quite gelled though the performances from Danny DeVito, Tim Roth were rather good, but not enough to make this a must rental or purchase.
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.
Fifty Shades Freed 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray + BD Screen Caps

It’s no Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but still well worth watching.
Grudge Match Blu-ray Review
Grudge Match is an affable sports comedy which only works due to the charisma and on-screen status of Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone alongside a nice collection of supporting players including Kevin Hart, Alan Arkin and Kim Basinger, who all contribute so much from a lackluster screenplay.
Blind Date Blu-ray Review
Blind Date is a fun little romantic-comedy that, with the casting of Bruce Willis, tries to capture the rivalry/romance of “Moonlighting” which was into its second season when this was released in 1987.
Cellular Blu-ray Review
Cellular is a high-octane thriller with great action and suspense throughout. Kim Basinger, Chris Evans and William H. Macy all turn in great performances with a story that could’ve easily gone wrong and became just another forgettable thriller.
