A Fish Called Wanda

Allison Rose | Oct 03, 2017

A Fish Called Wanda is a new classic that people remember and love and was a good choice for the new Blu-ray “makeover” and re-release. If you loved the movie back in 1988 this version will surely please you.

L.A. Confidential

Allison Rose | Oct 03, 2017

The script is a perfect example of masterful screenwriting. There are so many intricacies to the story but nothing feels bogged down or skimmed over and the story is fairly easy to follow and not confusing at all.

976-Evil

Leonard Buccellato | Oct 02, 2017

For this release, Columbia Pictures Home Video offers up a clean transfer of 976-Evil in 1080p High Definition/1.85:1, Audio English 5.1 DTS-HD. The film does, in fact, look decent and the colors are a robust change from the more washed out VHS cu

Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Sean Ferguson | Oct 02, 2017

What makes Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales so fantastic is the storyline echoes the past with a new generation, while touching on the heart of the original Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl characters.

Empire: The Complete Third Season

Allison Rose | Sep 26, 2017

Empire has a few things going for it...First and foremost is the cast. Howard has moments of pure evil and he can shut a person down with just a glaring stare. His non-verbals are just as potent as the words coming out of his mouth.

Shameless Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Shameless: The Complete Seventh Season

Sean Ferguson | Sep 25, 2017

Shameless is one of the funniest shows on television, and while a lot of what happens on the show is quite terribly wrong, at the heart of the show is a family that loves and cares for each other and is just trying to get by in this crazy world.

Modern Family Physical Media: DVD Review

Modern Family: The Complete Eighth Season

Allison Rose | Sep 25, 2017

With some laughs still in play and the entire original cast still an integral part of the show, Modern Family has a lot going for it, which is probably why it has at least two more seasons.

Lethal Weapon Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Lethal Weapon: The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Sep 21, 2017

Fans of the original Lethal Weapon film will want to compare the show with the films but doing so would be detrimental to any chance of enjoying the series. Giving it a fair shot on its own, one will find it to be a decent piece of work with a lot of thought and time put into its writing and production.
