Scooby Sunday takes us back to another adventure of Scooby-Doo… and Scrappy-Doo, too? Far from the glory days of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, the choice to reduce appearances by the rest of the Scooby Gang and focus on Scooby (Don Messick), Shaggy (Casey Kasem), and Scooby’s annoying nephew Scrappy (Daws Butler) led to shorter, cheaper, and less memorable stories such as “Maltese Mackerel.”

Walking into a Nicolas Winding Refn film you can always be assured of a visual feast. In that way, Her Private Hell doesn’t fail to impress. Refn brings to life an entrancing future surrounded by mysterious mist hiding dark secrets and a killer clad in leather. And in the middle of it all the elaborately decorated home of Elle (Sophie Thatcher) and the dysfunctional family consisting of her father (Dougray Scott) and stepmother (Havana Rose Liu).

Looking to further extend the Descendants brand, Descendants: The Rise of Red offered the first spin-off film without any of the original core characters. Anne McClain was brought back as Uma, who takes up her new role as new principal for the school, but she’s really here only to kick off events (by knocking down the first domino in allowing Wonderland into Auradon) rather than partake in them.

One of 10 films produced by Roger Corman in Argentina in the 1980s, The Warrior and the Sorceress is a thinly-veiled retelling of Yojimbo on an alien world (featuring the most modest of fantasy or sci-fi trappings). More sword than sorcery, the story opens with Kain (David Carradine), a former holy warrior turned mercenary, wandering into the village of Yamatar where the most precious resource is a well fought over by two warring gangs.

I’ll give Kate Mara credit for taking unusual projects. However, when they don’t work they really don’t work. The Astronaut starts out as a psychological thriller with Mara cast as our astronaut recently returned from space and suffering “common” side effects while kept in seclusion in a secure facility off the grid (which at least makes for an interesting setting as events devolve). Mentioning several times what our astronaut is experiencing is normal, the film continues to push and prod Mara’s character to question her reality and her sanity.
