Unforgiven Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Unforgiven
Unforgiven brought Eastwood to a whole new level of filmmaking and changed the concept of the old westerns.  Munny is a flawed yet human character anyone can relate to and Hackman’s performance is nuanced.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
Mila Jovovich is impressive and her battle skills are on point and apparently, she did her own stunts, which is amazing.  She commands attention in this film and not just because she is the lead.  She has a presence as Alice that is undeniable.

Orange Is The New Black Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Complete Fourth Season
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.

Divorce Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Complete First Season
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 Movie / Film Review
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
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 Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Gold
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 Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
A Dog's Purpose
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 Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
The Expendables 2
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 Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
The Expendables
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 Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
3:10 to Yuma
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.
