All Eyez on Me
Fans of the late Tupac Shakur will enjoy it while remembering him with fondness but the rest of us will see it as an okay movie about a legend.

The Cabin In The Woods
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
