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.

The Intern

The Intern certainly isn’t going to win any major awards, but it is a light hearted, fun look at retirement and the generation gap.

Blindspot

Sep 21, 2015

While the concept of Blindspot is somewhat familiar, the addition of the mysterious tattoos makes it a little unique. I was intrigued enough to be entertained for the hour and am curious enough to want to see what happens in episode two.

Black Mass

Sep 17, 2015

Black Mass isn’t a docudrama, nor is it a “gangster” film; and, as a straightforward drama it just isn’t all that strong.

The Big Bang Theory Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Eighth Season

Sep 14, 2015

The Big Bang Theory has a lot of life left in it and it will be interesting to see how they manage to continue the momentum.

The Visit

Sep 10, 2015

For those looking for a jump out of your seat, wet your pants, scary, gory slasher film, The Visit isn’t it. It is more psychological in nature and what I would classify as a thinking man’s horror thriller.

The Vampire Diaries Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Vampire Diaries Season 6

Sep 03, 2015

The Vampire Diaries Season 6 maybe the saddest and bloodiest one so far. From other worldly prisons, to a new witch/vampire hybrid, the supernatural dimension went into overdrive this year.
