Wonder Woman

Sep 19, 2017

In the realm of superhero movies, Wonder Woman is a shining example of a film done right. From Director Patty Jenkins (Monster) to Gadot to the costumes, script, and visuals there is very little to complain about. This is one movie everyone should own.

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

Sep 14, 2017

The 4K E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Blu-ray really stands out in 2160p resolution with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and H2.65 HVEC Codec. While the film was never intended to be seen in this advanced format the picture doesn’t come across as grainy and the effects don’t seem fake.

Red 2

Sep 06, 2017

If you were looking for the same brilliance found in the first Red film, lightning doesn’t strike twice I’m afraid. However, the characters are still loveable and the concept is terrific. There are also some great lines and scenes that make the movie worth watching.

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.

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.
