Breaker Upperers, The (2018): Enjoyable sex–positive NZ comedy.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $20, $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
T2 Trainspotting (2017): Has some effective moments, but feels like a pointless sequel overall.; DVD $19.95
Get Out (2017): Very satisfying horror.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $39.95
Never Dead, The (Phantasm) (1979): Some scary moments due to the spooky score and to Angus Scrim's character.
Nobody Knows (Dare mo shiranai) (2004): Draining.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15, ~~$29.95~~ $22.45
Death Proof (2007): Tarantino tries desperately hard to make a cult movie in the vein of American International Cinema, but winds up with a clunky bore fest. Totally unsexy too. The only enjoyable aspect is Zoe Bell\'s New Zealand accent.
Inglourious Basterds (Inglorious Bastards) (2009): Pointless and pretentious, and proof for those who think Tarantino has been a waste of time since Jackie Brown.; DVD ~~$15~~ $7.50, $24.95 | Blu-Ray $44.95
Wolf Creek (2005): Annoyingly stupid victims undermine the effectiveness somewhat but otherwise the nasty horror elements are in tact. Those who enjoy movies such as Hostel and Eden Lake will enjoy it.; DVD $34.95
Eden Lake (2008): A nasty piece of work that is very effectively done.; DVD $29.95
Escape from Alcatraz (1979): As always, the Siegel/Eastwood combination delivers the goods in this well directed, well paced prison escape movie.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
