Red

Sep 05, 2017

Red (which stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous in case you were wondering) is a fun film with seasoned actors who do a great job. It isn’t the standard shoot ‘em up action films which makes it even more enjoyable to audiences of various ages.

All Eyez on Me

Fans of the late Tupac Shakur will enjoy it while remembering him with fondness but the rest of us will see it as an okay movie about a legend.

The Cabin In The Woods

Sep 05, 2017

The Cabin In The Woods video quality is suburb. There is obviously some green screen bleed though and the backgrounds look terribly fake which is unfortunate but sometimes an unforeseen issue with a 4K transfer.

Blade Runner

Sep 05, 2017

Ridley Scot, Harrison Ford, and Blade Runner fans alike will thoroughly enjoy this latest version of the 4k UHD Blu-ray experience even if you own previously released ones. A must have for the ultimate Blade Runner fan and a good reminder as we gear up for Blade Runner 2049’s theatrical release.

Killing Hasselhoff

Aug 29, 2017

If you happen to be a huge Hasselhoff fan this movie is full of him and even has him singing during the end credits. Otherwise, get the movie and use it to make up an imaginative drinking game for you and your friend and then create your own death pool.

Ronin

Aug 28, 2017

If you are a fan of the movie, De Niro or Frankenheimer then you will want to consider purchasing this latest version of Ronin. It’s very good quality and gives you extra “treats” you haven’t gotten before. If you haven’t ever seen the film, it’s worth watching.

Inconceivable

Aug 28, 2017

Inconceivable is an interesting enough idea but lacks the punch and suspense that The Hand That Rocks the Cradle did. It is simply a reminder that women who use surrogates and donor eggs to have their children sometimes have a rough road.

Lucifer: The Complete Second Season

Aug 22, 2017

Ellis is a perfect fit to play the most famous fallen angel, Lucifer. He is suave and sophisticated and his British accent will make female fans melt.
