Caviar (2023)
My quick rating - 2.1/10. Antigone Corday ( Betsey Brown ) is an aspiring social media influencer. She is mourning the recent death of her brother, Jeremiah, a well-known pundit and voice for progressive causes. Soon, she receives a mysterious package in the mail--a pre-recorded video of Jeremiah. He claims to have uncovered a conspiracy that will throw her worldview, and the fate of the planet, into question. The budget in this one is clear the moment it gets rolling, and i

Renfield (2023)
My quick rating - 6.5/10. Having grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula's lackey, Renfield finds a new lease on life — and maybe even redemption — when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy. I am so glad they didn't soften this one up to get a PG rating. Chris McKay , behind the camera, made sure to use the blood in abundance to make sure all the kills were definite. Nicolas Cage playing Dracula was perfectly cast and quite amusing, al

Grand Tour: Disaster In Time (1991)
My quick rating - 6.5/10. This one popped on Radarr, and I cannot for the life of me place it, which I should be able to since this was at the time I was working at West Coast Video. I do like how it mentions "from the director of Pitch Black , " David Twohy , considering that movie came out nearly a decade after this LOL. I am surprised I have never heard of this movie. Quite good for the time. It didn't need flashy effects to tell a solid time travel story. Nice to see Jeff

House Of Inequity (2023)
My quick rating - 3.9/10. Going in blind on this one, but this flick is an Australian horror film that takes a group of friends on a terrifying journey into an abandoned house. Unfortunately, despite some promising ideas, the film falls short in execution, ultimately delivering a disappointing experience. One of the film's major drawbacks is the characters' consistently bad decision-making. It's frustrating to watch as they make one poor choice after another, which ultimately

The Night Agent: Season 1 (2023)
My quick rating - 7.2/10. Shows like this are just made to be binged. They definitely put their thinking caps on to come up with a conspiracy to kill the president this deeply. Well, to the point of unbelievable, but then again, that is what shows like this are for. You have to suspend belief to get anything out of it, especially when it is running at such a high pace throughout each episode. Gabriel Basso (Peter)does a really nice job as our "hero" who actually has a meanin

Black Roses (1988)
My quick rating - 5.1/10. I had completely forgotten about this flick. Wonder if it stood the test of time. A slew of '80s horror popped on Radarr, so why not check some of them out? It opened up with a song by Lizzy Borden , which I actually remembered straight away LOL. Although the band playing it was covered in some really poor makeup, not looking glam rock, but more like some form of undead creature. This scene with the two teens on the streets plays out like it is goin

Discontinued (2022)
My quick rating - 5.8/10. A depressed millennial discovers that the world she knows is just a simulated version of reality that is being shut down. Suddenly, she's the only one who wants to stick around. The movie is sci-fi only in its premise; there is no actual budget here, so no spaceships or effects. That isn't a bad thing since I like the whole idea of this flick, I just wish they had done much more with it. Ashley Hutchinson does a nice job as the central character (S

Lights Out (2016)
My quick rating - 6.8/10. Behold the fear of the dark. Many people have it and will identify with that. I assume not so many have had to deal with this level of phobia. The setup is introduced quickly, so my telling you a spirit that only appears in the dark and vanishes in the light is no spoiler. Just that this particular ghost kills anyone who threatens her. With that being said, the stage is set to scare the crap out of the viewer at any given moment, making an 81-minute

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
My quick rating - 7.5/10. Looks pretty good, and had to go with 4K for it. And definitely warranted, as there is some breathtaking scenery in this one. The combination of real locations and CGI landscapes creates a visually immersive experience that transports the audience into a vibrant and magical realm. The attention to detail in the production design is commendable, adding depth and authenticity to the world in which the characters exist. That was an enjoyable adventure f
