The 4K offers a unique viewing experience that, in this case, is well worth it and any Planet of the Apes fan will not only want to get this combo pack but its sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, as well.

Vestron Video Collector’s Series, in my opinion, is a hit. They continue to release movies from their archives, packed with a ton of extras, too.

The basic concepts of the show are still there, but that is about it.  CHiPs is raw and action packed and wears it’s R-rated badge with pride.

J.K. Simmons is perfect as the intimidating father and he plays the part beautifully.  Even in a pink and gold Juicy Couture t-shirt, he exudes a masculine aura that is necessary for the role. Hirsch compliments him well and the two carry All Nighter nicely with an assist from Jimothy and Lizzie.

The 4K picture quality (of Life) is unparalleled. Sharp and so well defined, each little drop of blood floating in space is amazingly detailed.  Each tentacle on the alien organism is unique and it’s hideous “face” adds to the terror.  The Dolby Atmos audio is also terrific and enhances ones viewing pleasure.

Table 19 is a homage to the somewhat socially awkward or periphery people that attend any catered party.  It’s also a heartwarming tale of how five strangers can change someone’s life in the course of mere hours.

In terms of a female-centered comedy, Rough Night gives it a good shot but just falls a little short. It has a great cast, but a lackluster script.

Better than the second film but not as good as the first, Cars 3 is still an uplifting story that will probably resonate with little kids.  It also gives us a new, female racecar to emulate in what is clearly the year of the female.

From the moment this film began, I found myself engrossed in the story.  The characters were immensely likable and their plight intriguing.  Oyelowo and Pike were perfectly cast as the couple which helps bring their story alive.

Very funny moments happen throughout (the Batman Lego Movie), so you can’t help but walk away afterward with a smile on your face.  There are the occasional lighthearted jabs and the inside jokes for those well versed in the superhero world but even little ones who don’t know the hints will still love the film.
