iZombie Physical Media: DVD Review
iZombie: The Complete First Season
While season one of iZombie was hampered with a short show run, season two of the show should hopefully get a few more episodes in, and from what I have seen so far of the show, it's running legs are very long.

Cop Car Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Cop Car
Overall, Cop Car is a very good piece of independent filmmaking and is a nice change of pace from the safe bets studios usually flood the theater and home theater market with.

Arrow Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Arrow: The Complete Third Season
It appears DC Comics wanted to give a more Batman type heroic character than being true to the comic book. While this does work on screen, it divides the type of Green Arrow character it’s fans enjoy.

Homeland Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Homeland: The Complete Fourth Season
While Homeland Season four is a nice reinvention of the series, and in my opinion the strongest of the seasons, unfortunately, it’s Blu-ray release just doesn’t do it justice. Hopefully Season 5’s home entertainment release will make-up for it in 2016.

Supernatural Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Supernatural Season Ten
Now entering it’s 11th season, Supernatural, by this time, is critic proof. Saying that, I really still enjoyed Season 10 of the show, and it’s presentation on Blu-ray Combo Pack is top notch. Supernatural still probably has another 2-3 years before it has stayed out it’s welcome.

The Originals Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Originals: The Complete Second Season
The Originals Season 2 Blu-ray set is a great presentation of one of prime times great tv shows. Season two quickly expands on the mythology laid out by the first season and raises the stakes. It is a must for any Originals, Vampire Diaries fan, and, it's even great for the casual viewer.

No Escape Movie / Film Review
No Escape
In every sense, the word 'thriller' has never been more accurate to describe a film.

Hitman: Agent 47 Movie / Film Review
Hitman: Agent 47
When Hitman: Agent 47 fails at the box office, one could, and will, argue the case that Hitman: Agent 47 didn’t fair well because R rated films have fallen out of fair with audience. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Hitman: Agent 47 failed because of a weak script created by a studio hack that has a track record of horrible films.

Man From U.N.C.L.E. Movie / Film Review
Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Man From U.N.C.L.E. marks the first time Guy Ritchie has directed since 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and he has not skipped a beat.
