Orange Is The New Black Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Complete Fourth Season

May 09, 2017

These actors take the words they are given and breathe a life into them that can send chills down your spine. Their inflections and delivery are well thought out and deliberate and each member of the cast adds a nuanced layer to the whole show.

The Complete First Season

May 08, 2017

One of the best parts of this show is the cast. Parker is spot on as the mother of two, working woman who is unhappy enough to seek lust from some other means outside her marriage.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

May 04, 2017

Overall, Guardians Vol. 2 still had elements of the original and even though it started off slow, it picked up steam to a supercharged, somewhat hokey ending.

Gold

May 02, 2017

While not his best performance, McConaughey is still interesting, as he adds dimensions and layers to an overall boring guy who just happens to have a dream and it is this dream that keeps us interested in the film (Gold).

A Dog's Purpose

May 02, 2017

It’s a shame A Dog's Purpose had such an unfortunate incident occur before it opened, as the heart and sentiment behind the movie is pro pet, and I think a lot of pet lovers would have enjoyed it.

The Expendables 2

May 02, 2017

If you or someone you love enjoyed the first Expendables movie, then you will definitely want to get yourself (or them) this one as well. It’s funnier, more well written, and more plot driven while still offering the audience lots of the action they love. It makes a great gift and is definitely worthy of any collection, especially in the 4K format.

The Expendables

May 02, 2017

The best thing about The Expendables is the cast. So many action heroes all in the same movie is a thrill for anyone who likes action movies

3:10 to Yuma

May 01, 2017

If you happen to love western movies, this one is a great example of the newer version. From a terrific cast to a good story and some wonderful music and cinematography, 3:10 to Yuma is a disc worth owning.

Animal Kingdom Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Animal Kingdom: The Complete First Season

Apr 27, 2017

As we see these people vying for their place in the family...the audience can easily become caught up in the awkwardness of it all. With a somewhat perverse reverse Oedipus complex dynamic occurring on a regular basis.
