Featured Blu-ray and DVD Review: Terminator: Dark Fate

January 29th, 2020

Terminator: Dark Fate

The first Terminator movie was a relatively low-budget horror movie where the unstoppable killer was a Sci-fi robot instead of some supernatural force. Its sequel was the most expensive movie at the time and a pure action film with cutting edge special effects. What they had in common were stellar reviews and massive profit margins.

I did review the original movie, twice, so it is about time I reviewed this one. More...

Featured TV on DVD Review: Beauty and the Beast: Season One

October 4th, 2013

Beauty and the Beast is a remake of the 1987 series of the same name. That show starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman and while it only lasted two seasons (the third season with Linda Hamilton hardly counts) it developed a very loyal fan base. This remake was not greeted with a lot of critical praise, while its ratings dropped from 2.78 million for the series premiere to just 1.26 million for the season finale. Were the critics right? Were viewers wise to abandon the show? More...
