Peppermint Movie / Film Review
Peppermint
For the average moviegoer or for fans of Jennifer Garner Peppermint doesn't go far enough to offer a worthwhile experience. I don't think we will see a sequel coming down the road for this one and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

James Franco is excellent as the stereotypical sleazy dirtbag.  As an actor, he is a chameleon who always delivers on screen.

Clear and Present Danger Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Jack Ryan 5-Film Collection UHD 4K
The Jack Ryan 5-Film Collection UHD 4K is a box set that is worth splurging on and if you have a Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan fan in your life I suggest you buy two sets  - one for yourself and one to give as a gift.

Bang The Drum Slowly Movie / Film Review
Bang The Drum Slowly
Even though Bang The Drum Slowly is forty-five years old is it as poignant and relevant today as it was back in the 1970’s. It’s worth watching for any young person, especially those involved in sports.
