Beyond a Reasonable Doubt is a well made and taut crime-drama featuring some wonderful performances by Dana Andrews and John Fontaine, to go along with a twist-filled story.

The Chastity Belt DVD
The Chastity Belt isn’t consistently funny but did have a few amusing moments, though it did get a few extra points just for the cover which I still continue to chuckle at.
The Drowning Pool BD + Screen Caps
The Drowning Pool isn’t as strong of a movie compared to Harper but works mainly for Paul Newman once again and there was at least one fun set piece for the titled pool as the villain attempts to kill Harper.
Harper BD + Screen Caps
Harper is a fun 1960s detective film that harkened back to the 1940s and succeeds with some sharp writing but mostly on Paul Newman’s charm and incredible charisma.
Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III BD + Screen Caps
Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a so-so entry in the TCM franchise but considering how poor the others have been, even the second one which has garnered a fan base, it’s perhaps one of the better ones, though the scares are limited.

I Like Your Nerve DVD
I Like Your Nerve is a fun enough 1931 romantic-comedy with charismatic performances by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Loretta Young. As for this DVD release… yeah, it may not sound or look very good but anyone who likes these types of movies, it is nice to finally get them on home video.
Chances DVD
Chances is a bit over-the-top, which I guess is to be expected for the era, but still charming performances from Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Rose Hobart.
Judgment Night DVD
Judgment Night isn’t what one call a “smart” thriller or anything but it is awfully fun courtesy of its charming cast headlined by Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denis Leary (with special mention to Stephen Dorff and Jeremy Piven).
The Finger Points DVD
The Finger Points is a fun enough 1930s-era crime-drama that doesn’t stand out any others from that timeframe either, however. Still, for fans of this style of filmmaking might find it entertaining.
The Hanging Tree BD + Screen Caps
The Hanging Tree is an excellent drama that Gary Cooper who was absolutely fantastic in the lead with special recognition to Ben Piazza marking only his second feature film.
The Flight of Dragons BD + Screen Caps
The Flight of Dragons is an animated film that I actually had never heard nor ever recall seeing even as a kid back in the 1980s (though it is entirely possible I had back in elementary, just don’t remember). As it is today, it’s a delightful and fun fantasy adventure that is great for the whole family.
Dolores Claiborne BD + Screen Caps
There must be something about Kathy Bates starring in a Stephen King film adaptation and in Dolores Claiborne, she deserved the Oscar with a wonderfully subdued performance alongside a respectable cast.
Auntie Mame BD + Screen Caps
Auntie Mame is a fun enough comedy-drama excelling thanks to the eccentric performance from Rosalind Russell and while I didn’t fully fall in love with the film, and it is a tad lengthy, I did find it mostly entertaining.
Strictly Dishonorable – Double Feature DVD
Both Strictly Dishonorable movies are fun early era romantic comedies and the 1951 remake flipping the script and it’s nice to have the two films on one release and worth the usually high price tag.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life BD + Screen Caps
Although I didn’t really watch Gilmore Girls when it originally aired, it’s a series that I found somewhat enjoyable on syndication with lively and likeable characters so it is nice seeing them back together in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life is a fun experience of four mini-movies.
