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.

The Lion King Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Lion King: Walt Disney Signature Collection

Whether you are young or old, The Lion King is a wonderful film that deserves to be enjoyed over and over again. With better picture and audio quality, and new extras, any fans should pick up this latest version.

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.

Kill Switch

Aug 22, 2017

From coal and fossil fuels to solar, wind and water there are numerous debates regarding how to save our planet....One company came up with a plan that seemed fantastic...if it seems too good to be true, it probably is and that is exactly what happens in Tim Smit’s directorial Debut, Kill Switch.

Snatched

Aug 18, 2017

The Snatched 4K Blu-ray has superior quality with the 2160p video and 2.40:1 aspect ratio. The Jungle scenes are especially lush and beautiful and the color palette jumps off the screen many times.

The Hitman's Bodyguard

Aug 17, 2017

While The Hitman’s Bodyguard may not be a complete bullseye, it is entertaining and has a solid cast. Reynold’s and Jackson were great choices and I certainly hope Lionsgate will be able to tap them to return for the sequel.
