Theatrical, Streaming, Physical Media Reviews

Fans of Resident Evil who enjoy the video game will love being enveloped once again in the game through this latest release.  The action, graphics and story are good enough to be included in the franchise.  And if you include yourself in that grouping then you should definitely invest in the 4K version.

Honestly my immediate first impression, I thought this was a strange movie but I stuck it out and was absolutely blown away by the storyline.  Buster was a caring character, one I became invested in because I wanted him to have his land, get away from his nasty and mean mother-in-law, and get a job on the day shift.

Free Fire is about 90 minutes, which is long enough to provide a cohesive storyline without making the audience glance at their watch.  The film is an entertaining light action flick to add to your collection.

Hiddleston’s, Larson’s, Goodman’s, and castaway John C. Reilly’s (Wreck-It Ralph) performances help ground the film in our world while Jackson’s character’s  personal struggle with Kong echoes back to Captain Ahab and his “to-the-death” fight with the whale Moby Dick.

Malick has a distinct eye and his visuals are unique and interesting....His knack for creating the electric sexual undercurrent throughout the film should be commended.  While we rarely see an actual lovemaking scene, the smallest of glances and touches ignite the screen.

Charlie Hunnam is very good as Fawcett playing him with a calm demeanor and not the obsessive, goal driven human one might think he might have been in real life.

Besson’s voice is definitely unique and distinct in everything he writes and directs. His decidedly French influence is obvious in everything from angles and costumes to the music chosen for his films’ soundtracks.  Leon: The Professional is no different, which is part of what makes it such a classic movie loved by audiences around the world.

People critical that the series should have ended with number seven will be pleasantly surprised by this film. Fate of the Furious is great fun throughout the entire movie. It gives audiences all the thrills and stunts they are looking for in a Fast and Furious film and keeps pushing the boundaries of what you can do with cars (and physics).

To-date, The Fifth Element, is hands down Luc Besson’s most accomplished film. The story is extremely compelling and interesting, the cast blends perfectly with the amazing sets and action, and even though it had a mixed reception when it opened in 1997 it has come to be loved the world over.

The Dolby Atmos track is truly where Smurfs: The Lost Village shines. Audio moves effortlessly from one speaker to another and travels throughout the room. It really feels like you are transported into the audio-visual space of the Smurfs.
