The Sandlot Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Sandlot: 25th Anniversary Edition

Allison Rose | Mar 30, 2018

The Sandlot is a funny, feel-good movie that reminds us of a simpler time both in the country and our own lives. These boys offer hope and optimism and good, old-fashioned fun and the movie pulls us in and gets us invested early on making the viewer want to stay until the very end.

Fear The Walking Dead Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Fear The Walking Dead: The Complete Third Season

Leonard Buccellato | Mar 13, 2018
