There is a new story with a somewhat familiar premise, but overall has a different feel to the original.  The stakes as always are higher, and the cliffhanger ending is one that made the film’s fans crazy for the next installment.  If ever there was a reliable franchise, Back To The Future was it.

It was the first season of one of my favorite sitcoms from the 1980s finally getting put out onto home video 34 years after it first hit the air (Paired up with another all time favorite, Perfect Strangers). Said sitcom being the Howard Hesseman-led high school set Head of the Class. When I went through it, I was happy to find that the show still held up. My hope was that Warner Archive Collection would not stop and continue to put out all five seasons of the show. Good news, we are now officially 40% of the way through the series being on DVD as the second season arrives on October 27th. Unfortunately, no bonus materials again, but its nice to have ownership of this terrific little show..

Don t get me wrong, I do enjoy these goofy little camp classics (Some of them). But, I m not super deep into lore and rewatches aside from the first one every so many years. But, I find myself writing a review for a third direct to video sequel in the series. And I m not mad about that, they are what they are and they really do know what they are doing. Feels like back handed praise, but I m not sure how else to put it. The latest is title Shrieker Island. Of course, it brings back Michael Gross, but Jamie Kennedy has opted not to return. Instead, he s been replaced by Jon Heder (Though as a different character). What could Burt Gummer be up to now?.

The Haunting Paramount Presents (Blu-ray Review) October 19th, 2020 by Brandon Peters One of the most banner years for cinema was 1999. There were so many great and notable releases in that year that its pretty unbelievable to take in. Liam Neeson happened to be in two big releases that summer. Unfortunately for him, they happened to be two films that weren t very well received. In addition to Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Neeson also starred in Jan de Bont s reimaginging of The Haunting of Hill House and Robert Wise s 1963 film of the same title. Paramount Presents asks that we take another look at this film, twenty one years later, as they debut it for the first time on Blu-ray as part of the Paramount Presents collection. On top of having a new transfer, the film will also feature a brand new interview with director Jan de Bont. It arrives just in time for some Halloween viewing on October 20. You can order yourself a copy using the paid Amazon Associates link at the end of the review.
