Modern Family Physical Media: DVD Review
Modern Family: The Complete Sixth Season
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 Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Entourage
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
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 Movie / Film Review
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 Television / Streaming Review
Blindspot
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 Movie / Film Review
Black Mass
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 Visit Movie / Film Review
The Visit
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
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.

Mad Max: Fury Road Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Mad Max: Fury Road
While I can’t say I was as enthralled with Mad Max: Fury Road as most people, I did enjoy finding out what all the excitement was about.  I found myself in awe over some of the stunts and impressed with much of the acting.
