Barry Physical Media: DVD Review
Barry: The Complete First Season
With a great script, excellent cast and a fresh take on an old idea, Barry aims for the target and shoots a bullseye each week (yes the cheesy pun is intended).

First Man Movie / Film Review
First Man
First Man is dramatic and thoughtful and balances the silence and tension with the lighter moments. It’s an interesting take on The United States Space program in the 1960’s and the man that would become revered as an American Hero.

Hook Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Hook
Pick up Hook and reminisce of a simpler time in your life and if you have young children be sure to share it with them.  This a life lesson taught with an excellent cast and in an entertaining manner.

Night School
Night School offers some of the laughs and gags are so funny that you can't hear the next bit of dialog because the audience is laughing too hard!

Smallfoot Movie / Film Review
Smallfoot
Small Foot will also provoke controversy, especially from religious groups.  Depending on one’s viewpoint, Small Foot can make the argument either for or against organized religion.

American Psycho
American Psycho is one film that isn’t going away anytime soon and shouldn’t for a number of reasons so I recommend picking it up today!

The Punisher Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
The Punisher
The Dolby Atmos audio is great and adds a wonderful richness to The Punisher.  Every gunshot and explosion (and believe me there are plenty) can be heard distinctly.
