The sixth entry in the Scream franchise follows Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara (Jenna Ortega) to college. The film opens in the expected way with a woman (Samara Weaving) being stalked on the phone and then killed, although we do get a twist with the killer (Tony Revolori) immediately being revealed and then himself stalked and killed by a different Ghostface killer out to frame Sam for his crimes and punish the sisters for what he believes are their crimes.

Murder City

  • Title: Murder City
  • IMDb: link

Released directly to Tubi, Murder City is your typical B-movie action flick starring Luke Cage’s Mike Colter as a disgraced cop who finds his family being squeezed by a local gangster (Stephanie Sigman) after he is released from prison. We see a little of Neil’s (Colter) on the job skimming prior to his arrest when playing back-up to his father’s (Antonio Fargas) drug deal when both are busted by the DEA. Fast-forwarding through his stay in prison, we only see his release on-screen, the story picks up with new troubles for Neil from the psychotic Ash who basically blackmails him into going to work for her by leveraging Neil’s family.

Sir H. Rider Haggard‘s novel has been adapted and referenced numerous times over the years in film, television, and radio but none more famously than the 1950 adaptation starring Stewart Granger as talented but weary English big game hunter and adventurer Allan Quatermain who, against his better judgement, is hired by a woman (Deborah Kerr) in search of her missing husband who disappeared while searching for a diamond mine in uncharted regions of Africa.

“In my entire life, I have only seen Holmes cry on two occasions.”

Released in 1985 to critical, but not box office, success, director Barry Levinson‘s Young Sherlock Holmes reimagined the first meeting of Sherlock Holmes (Nicholas Rowe) and John Watson (Alan Cox) as teens rather than adults when Watson transfers to London’s Brompton Academy and quickly befriends the genius but brash Holmes whose actions gets himself, and Watson, into trouble.

Stargirl – The Complete Third Season

  • Title: Stargirl – Season 3
  • wiki: link

It’s a little unfortunate the Stargirl didn’t start a year or two earlier. One of the better shows of the Arrowverse, the show concluded with its third and final season collected here on DVD (but oddly not also available on Blu-ray which both the previous seasons were released on). The season continues the heroic journey of Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) who is thrown for a loop by the return of the original Starman (Joel McHale) who outwardly attempts to help while sewing descension and uncertainty among the group in hopes of gaining control of the staff.
