Blindspot Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Blindspot: The Complete Second Season

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 08, 2017

Blindspot has clearly shown what creative writing, determination, and the casting of the right actors can do for a show- bring it an audience that is mesmerized and captivated by the story and sub-plots that clearly exist to support the show.

Crashing: The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Aug 07, 2017

The writing is pretty good and flows nicely. With a few episodes directed by Judd Apatow (Trainwreck), there is also a feel of gawky realism that makes the audience sympathetic. It seems HBO has yet another hit on its hands. I hope Crashing can continue the momentum it built in season one.

Big Little Lies

Allison Rose | Aug 01, 2017

With a good old fashioned “whodunit” plot surrounded by narcissistic people and their spoiled children, Big Little Lies offers quality entertainment that we have come to expect from HBO. This is one show that should not be missed.

Going in Style

Allison Rose | Aug 01, 2017

While meant to be a comedy, this remake makes a statement regarding our elderly and how we treat them. After working all their lives, greed sees their pensions ripped out from under them and their social security isn’t enough for them to live on.

The Circle

Nathan M Rose | Aug 01, 2017

Even though The Circle is work fiction its themes are extremely relevant in today's society. A society in which everyone shares and documents everything they do online for the world to see.

Shooter: The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Jul 29, 2017

Unfortunately for Shooter, the drama is lack luster and doesn’t really offer up the level of suspense and tension that it should.

Gifted

Allison Rose | Jul 29, 2017

Family drama usually makes for a good script and while Gifted is no exception, the cast is really what gives the movie its bite. If you like a good, heartfelt story, this is worth watching.

The Boss Baby

Allison Rose | Jul 27, 2017

Baldwin is perfect as the voice of the Boss Baby. His deep vocal tones are authoritative and commanding, which make Boss Baby believable. Kudrow and Kimmel have a soothing quality to their voices that make them great choices for the parents.

Atomic Blonde

Allison Rose | Jul 26, 2017

While I expected one of the plot twists in the film (making it somewhat predictable), I didn’t see a second one that blindsided me at the end of the film and made for a nice surprise. Atomic Blonde had good flow and pacing and just the right amount of action so it didn’t go over the top.
