Flatliners might have a solid following and while there were some interesting visual elements and solid cinematography courtesy of Joel Schumacher and Jan de Bont, but the story wasn’t something that captivated me despite a very respectable cast.

The Big C: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
The Big C was a well done drama-comedy series featuring great performances from Laura Linney, John Benjamin Hickey and a respectable set of guest stars throughout the course of its four seasons.

The 6 Degrees Collection
The 6 Degrees Collection is another cheap hodge-podge set of movies already released by Mill Creek Entertainment and for those who don’t already own a few of them, it might be worth the $10 price tag as the picture quality was fine and audio adequate enough.
Flatliners (Steelbook) BD + Screen Caps
Flatliners is a fun 1990 film that might not be some sort of classic but the entertainment value is there.
Review: Wonder Woman BD + Screen Caps
This Wonder Woman animated movie is decent enough featuring a solid story and a nice selection of voice casting. This was one of DC’s earliest animated releases and probably one of their better outings.
Review: Shut In BD + Screen Caps
Shut In is the latest film I’ve seen that should’ve gone direct-to-video and one that if not for its star, Naomi Watts, might’ve been unwatchable as the script is filled with cliché after cliché and was predictable from beginning to end.
Review: The 9th Life of Louis Drax BD + Screen Caps

Lake Placid: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Lake Placid is a fun horror-comedy, with more emphasis on humor, that might not be the best written flick but it’s a breezy enough 82-minutes of sarcastic one-liners and characters, albeit mostly on-dimensional, that you actually enjoy watching, especially a fouled-mouthed Betty White in a small yet pivotal role.

Love & Other Drugs Blu-ray Review
Love & Other Drugs is propelled by the leads rather than the story. I give major credit for the brave performances by Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal as they don’t go overboard with characters that could’ve been walking movie clichés. Now, the script itself is serviceable but nothing special, in fact it sticks pretty closely to the formula.
