My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 Movie / Film Review
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
Part of what makes My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 so much fun is the cast.  From Vardalos to Corbett and Constantine, Kazan, and every one in between, the comedic timing is spot on and serious delivery of such obviously hilarious dialogue is terrific.

London Has Fallen

The 33 Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The 33
For 69 days, the world watched as drills frantically tried to free 33 miners trapped in the refuge 200 stories below the surface.  Running out of food and water, it seemed hopeless.

Steve Jobs Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Steve Jobs
The cast is phenomenal and I am not surprised by the Oscar nominations for Fassbender and Kate Winslet (Titanic), who plays Joanna Hoffman, Jobs’ Polish born right hand person.
