The Dark Knight

Jan 08, 2018

The 2160p high definition video quality is much kinder to The Dark Knight than it was to its predecessor, Batman Begins. The special effects are so well done that you can’t see any flaws in the upgrade to 4K.

Boston

Dec 19, 2017

Dunham does a wonderful job of including so much of the human interest angle into Boston, infusing it with grit and heart. His presentation and delivery hold the viewer’s attention even if they are a novice to the world of running and Marathons.

Stronger

Dec 19, 2017

Stronger isn't a movie about the events of April 2013 and how it affected Boston and the United States. Rather, it is about how one sunny afternoon affected a simple man, his girlfriend, and his family.

Victoria & Abdul

Dec 18, 2017

I wonder if there is anything Dench can’t do. Any project she is tied to is going to have a certain level of quality befitting her acting abilities and Victoria and Abdul is no exception.
