Captain America: Civil War Movie / Film Review
Captain America: Civil War
Most diehard fans will find enough similarities between the comic books and the movie to feel satisfied that Marvel stayed true to the plot. Those that have never read the comic books but enjoyed the other superhero offerings won’t be disappointed by this latest installment.

The Revenant Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Revenant
If you missed all the hype, DiCaprio won his first Oscar for this role, so it’s safe to say he does an excellent job, especially because he spends much of The Revenant nonverbal.

Krampus
If you are a fan of the 80’s style of horror movies, then you will find some enjoyment from Krampus.

The Huntsman: Winter's War Movie / Film Review
The Huntsman: Winter's War
The real problem with Huntsman: Winter’s War is the plot.  It’s boring and unnecessary.  I think the filmmakers are banking on the hype created by the previous off-camera scandal to put bodies in the theater.

Criminial Movie / Film Review
Criminial
Criminal is a very nondescript title for a somewhat interesting film, and that is only the first of a few of the problems plaguing Director Ariel Vromen’s (The Iceman) newest release.

The Boss Movie / Film Review
The Boss
The real tragedy of The Boss is that, for a comedy, it isn’t remotely funny.

Point Break Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Point Break
From the beautiful snow covered mountains to the magnificent waters of the Angel Falls in Brazil, every destination is more breathtaking than the next.  At least Point Break is visually stunning if nothing else.

The Americans Physical Media: DVD Review
The Americans: Season 3
The entire cast is excellent as they portray a very real time in American history.  Kerri Russell is certainly the stand out of the show.
