American Horror Story Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
American Horror Story: Freak Show
Unfortunately American Horror Story: Freak Show  deviated too much from the supernatural plot that had worked in past seasons, and had performances that were just too over-the-top for my taste.

Tomorrowland Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland has an upbeat message about society and is more in line of the type of film Walt Disney would have approved his company making.

Poltergeist Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Poltergeist
Alas, Poltergeist ultimately fails at recreating the sheer terror and excitement of the original film and is just more cannon fodder in the “why are we making remakes” mindset.

Cop Car Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Cop Car
Overall, Cop Car is a very good piece of independent filmmaking and is a nice change of pace from the safe bets studios usually flood the theater and home theater market with.

Arrow Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Arrow: The Complete Third Season
It appears DC Comics wanted to give a more Batman type heroic character than being true to the comic book. While this does work on screen, it divides the type of Green Arrow character it’s fans enjoy.

Homeland Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Homeland: The Complete Fourth Season
While Homeland Season four is a nice reinvention of the series, and in my opinion the strongest of the seasons, unfortunately, it’s Blu-ray release just doesn’t do it justice. Hopefully Season 5’s home entertainment release will make-up for it in 2016.

Supernatural Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Supernatural Season Ten
Now entering it’s 11th season, Supernatural, by this time, is critic proof. Saying that, I really still enjoyed Season 10 of the show, and it’s presentation on Blu-ray Combo Pack is top notch. Supernatural still probably has another 2-3 years before it has stayed out it’s welcome.

The Originals Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Originals: The Complete Second Season
The Originals Season 2 Blu-ray set is a great presentation of one of prime times great tv shows. Season two quickly expands on the mythology laid out by the first season and raises the stakes. It is a must for any Originals, Vampire Diaries fan, and, it's even great for the casual viewer.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Justice League: Gods and Monsters
Imagine if you will, a world where there is a Superman, but no Clark Kent, a Batman, but no Bruce Wayne, A Wonder Woman, but no Princess Diana. These are some of the changes this Elseworlds (i.e. Alternate Universe) tale has in store for the viewer.
