Vampire’s Kiss: MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Review
Vampire’s Kiss was one hell of an experience and after some momentary bewilderment of what I was watching, and in particular Nicolas Cage’s wild performance, I was full-on in with this masterpiece that generated many memes.

Color Out of Space 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Color Out of Space might not have been completely my cup of tea as I prefer a more traditional horror, but I can acknowledge some of the creativity and there were a few great moments that presumably Lovecraft fans will appreciate.

Primal Blu-ray Review
Primal may not be a fantastic thriller and the core plot is convoluted, but I did find some of this to be entertaining enough and it does seem like Nicolas Cage was actually trying rather than mailing it in for the paycheck.
A Score to Settle Blu-ray Review
A Score to Settle is an uneven revenge-drama but through the first two-thirds, Nic Cage seemed to be under control, but by the final third, when emotions are high, we get the Cage we know and generally mock.
Between Worlds Blu-ray Review
Between Worlds is yet another failed film from Nicolas Cage and this is perhaps one of this worst performances, which is saying something, though he gets no help from a poor script.
Lord of War 4K Ultra HD Review
When I last saw Lord of War 13.5 years ago, I wasn’t completely enamored beyond the acting and… my opinion roughly remains the same, some solid performances though I guess I was more engrossed with the story this go around.
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies Blu-ray Review
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is a well done if not kind of pointless adaptation of a series that’s still on the air. Even so, the in-jokes is what carried it for me more so than the humor, voice acting or the animation itself, which I’ve never been a big fan of.

Knowing 4K Ultra HD + BD Screen Caps
Knowing did very much remind me of an M. Night Shyamalan movie (both times viewing now) but unlike some of his later works beyond The Sixth Sense, I think Alex Proyas did convey a level of authentic emotion that really worked.
Kick-Ass 4K + BD Screen Caps
Kick-Ass is a fun, hard-knuckled comic book movie that came many years before Deadpool became a hit it did. The highlights, beyond the R-rating language and violence, are the performances from a very young Chloe Grace Moretz, Nicolas Cage and Aaron Johnson.
Review: Inconceivable BD + Screen Caps
It’s, well, Inconceivable how a movie like this could get made as the story has been done numerous times before, no doubt countless Lifetime Movies, but worst of all, been done better before with the likes of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. As it is, there’s not much to really enjoy from this.
Review: Arsenal BD + Screen Caps
Arsenal is the type of movie that makes you wonder who exactly is financing it with a bad script and a so-so performance by its lead actor. The only redeeming value, if you can call it that, is seeing Nic Cage doing vintage Nic Cage who is wildly hilarious.
Review: USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage BD + Screen Caps
Well intentioned as it might have been, and telling a World War II story that’s probably not familiar to the average American, USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage features lazy performances, especially by Nicolas Cage though he does have a couple okay scenes, and some laughable visual effects.
