Sufficed to say Only The Brave is a real tearjerker of a film and the memories will haunt the viewer for a while afterward as the film stays with you long after you leave the theater.

Step
Step is a realistic look at life as a teenage girl in inner-city Baltimore and the challenges they face.  It is heartwarming and uplifting and makes you root for the Lethal Ladies from start to finish.

Kick-Ass Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Kick-Ass
Kick-Ass is a mish-mosh of ideas that somehow comes together and almost completely works.  It’s got a good cast and some fun scenes which helps the viewer get immersed in the story.  It’s worth watching if for no other reason than simply to bring out the inner superhero in all of us.

A Fish Called Wanda Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
A Fish Called Wanda
A Fish Called Wanda is a new classic that people remember and love and was a good choice for the new Blu-ray “makeover” and re-release.  If you loved the movie back in 1988 this version will surely please you.
