Aladdin

Oct 13, 2015

It’s difficult to find fault in any way with Aladdin and, as a fan, I say it is about time Disney released it again for everyone to enjoy.

San Andreas

Oct 12, 2015

The destruction of large cities and the Hoover Dam are not easy to accomplish but the crew does it well enough, and the 1080p video and 5.1 high definition audio help to enhance those scenes beautifully.

The Gallows

Oct 12, 2015

There is nothing redeeming about The Gallows and I question why it ever got made. I know it made a profit, which is, of course, the ultimate goal in movies; but it was unentertaining and moronic. Don’t waste your time or money.

Jane the Virgin: The Complete First Season

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Oct 02, 2015

Sadly Avengers: Age of Ultron doesn’t live up to the original film, but for Marvel fans it is a solid effort with some good action sequences. Watching it in Digital HD is a treat and I recommend it for any Avengers fan.

Modern Family Physical Media: DVD Review

Modern Family: The Complete Sixth Season

Sep 29, 2015

I believe Modern Family has a lot of life left in it and I am anxious to see what they come up with for this new season. They still have a strong following, despite being past their “heyday”, and fans will most likely enjoy this DVD collection of season six.

Entourage

Sep 28, 2015

Other than a thin storyline, the film really is about four friends navigating Hollywood and all it’s "trappings".

Sleepy Hollow Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Sleepy Hollow: The Complete Second Season

Sep 24, 2015

I can’t help but wonder if season three will be Sleepy Hollow’s last. If they don’t change their strategy from season two, I think many, like myself, will get bored with the “demon of the week” theme and tune out.
