The Sandlot Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Sandlot: 25th Anniversary Edition

Allison Rose | Mar 30, 2018

The Sandlot is a funny, feel-good movie that reminds us of a simpler time both in the country and our own lives. These boys offer hope and optimism and good, old-fashioned fun and the movie pulls us in and gets us invested early on making the viewer want to stay until the very end.

Ready Player One

Allison Rose | Mar 28, 2018

Even though it runs over two hours long, You become so engrossed in the story and the visuals that you don’t notice the length – which says a lot about Ready Player One.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Allison Rose | Mar 26, 2018

Sometimes the technology of 4K can be problematic with special effects especially in older films but that is not the case here. The 2160p resolution of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is fantastic, especially when viewing the final fight scene.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Eric English | Mar 22, 2018

The final shot sums it all up perfectly. We’re all being transported back to the pure magic of the first Star Wars film and it's going to be a bumpy ride at light speed and beyond.

Pitch Perfect 3

Victoria L Hanson | Mar 20, 2018

Pitch Perfect 3 was an exciting movie which introduced many new aspects of the characters that we haven’t seen before. It shows them as more mature in the ways they approach the situations.

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, Vol. 2

Allison Rose | Mar 19, 2018

Lego has infused their movie and television properties with lots of fun and some great jokes and Lego Star Wars: The Freeman Adventures is no exception. The second Season offers more plot than the first one but the series overall is enjoyable and fun.
