My Little Pony: The Movie Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
My Little Pony: The Movie
The voice talent in Little Pony: The Movie is incredibly strong with veteran voice actors and the aforementioned cast with a 1080p high definition video quality is strong and the colors pop off the screen beautifully.

The Dark Knight Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
The Dark Knight
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.

Batman Begins Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Batman Begins
With Nolan at the helm and Bale steering the ship this Batman film delves deeper and is more serious than its predecessors but it works so well you can’t help but admire the craftsmanship.

American Made
The subject matter of American Made is interesting and outrageous and the fact that is it based on true events makes it all the more intriguing.

Inception Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Inception
If you look up the word inception in the dictionary, you will find this meaning - an act, process, or instance of beginning: commencement. However, for director Christopher Nolan it means something slightly different.

Boston Movie / Film Review
Boston
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 Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Stronger
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.
