The Chronicles of Riddick 4K Blu-ray Review

David Twohy’s 2004 film  The Chronicles of Riddick  stands as a daring attempt to expand the universe established by its predecessor, Pitch Black, into a grander, more ambitious sci-fi epic. Featuring Vin Diesel reprising his role as the anti-hero Riddick, the film seeks to blend dark fantasy with space opera, aiming to build a mythic narrative around its titular character. Though it has its strengths, "The Chronicles of Riddick" is a polarizing film that has garnered both praise and criticism for its scope, ambition, and execution. The film picks up where Pitch Black left off, following the enigmatic and lethal Riddick as he escapes from the planet he was stranded on. The story unfolds in a richly imagined universe plagued by a galactic empire known as the Necromongers, a fanatical and totalitarian regime bent on converting or annihilating all life in their path. Riddick becomes entangled in their conflict when he learns that the Necromongers are hunting him, believing him t

Vikings: Valhalla , a sequel to the acclaimed series Vikings, dives into the rugged and tumultuous world of the Norsemen with its own flair. Set a century after the events of the original series,  Valhalla  brings new characters, fresh conflicts, and a robust storyline that both honors and expands upon the legacy of its predecessor.

The Million Eyes of Sumuru 4K Blu-ray Review

The Million Eyes of Sumuru  directed by Lindsay Shonteff and released in 1967, is a fascinating entry into the realm of mid-20th-century spy thrillers. Often overshadowed by its more famous contemporaries, this film offers a unique blend of adventure, espionage, and camp, making it a curious watch for fans of the genre. The film is based on the character Sumuru, created by Sax Rohmer, who is perhaps best known for his creation of the sinister Dr. Fu Manchu. Sumuru, however, is a different beast entirely—a glamorous, enigmatic femme fatale with grand designs for world domination. The character of Sumuru, played by the striking Shirley Eaton, exudes an aura of both allure and danger, making her an iconic figure in the realm of villainy. Shirley Eaton, who gained fame for her role as the golden girl in Goldfinger, brings a compelling mix of sophistication and menace to her portrayal of Sumuru. Eaton's performance is one of the film's highlights, effortlessly blending charm with a
