Roots

Allison Rose | Jun 07, 2016

Everything about Roots was epic. It ran for twelve hours over 8 nights and brought in record ratings, some of which still hold to this day.

Gods of Egypt

Nathan M Rose | May 31, 2016

Alex Proyas and the cast of Gods of Egypt did the best they could do with the source material presented to them, and while it isn’t a terrible movie, it is certainly not one that is in the same league as the Hunger Games franchise that it is trying to replace.

The Finest Hours

Nathan M Rose | May 24, 2016

The Finest Hours, while not a horrible film, really just isn’t that compelling of a story.

How To Be Single

Nathan M Rose | May 24, 2016

With 20th Century Fox’s Deadpool sucking out most of the air on Valentine’s Weekend 2016, most critics didn’t give this film a second look, which is extremely unfortunate.

Deadpool

Nathan M Rose | May 22, 2016

Making sure Deadpool 4k is presented with the best quality, every inch of space on the 4k Blu-ray disc is used for the picture and sound relegated the extra to the Blu-ray disc which also comes in the package.

Jennifer Lawrence is as good as ever, and she and Bradley Cooper have a chemistry that makes them a formidable team.

Independence Day

Allison Rose | May 10, 2016

For all its schmaltzy graphics, the Independence Day is beautifully presented in 1080p resolution that really makes the explosions fill the entire room.

The Revenant

Allison Rose | Apr 28, 2016

If you missed all the hype, DiCaprio won his first Oscar for this role, so it’s safe to say he does an excellent job, especially because he spends much of The Revenant nonverbal.
