Animal Kingdom Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Animal Kingdom: The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Apr 27, 2017

As we see these people vying for their place in the family...the audience can easily become caught up in the awkwardness of it all. With a somewhat perverse reverse Oedipus complex dynamic occurring on a regular basis.

Girl With All The Gifts

Allison Rose | Apr 25, 2017

While this is a typical zombie movie, I like that the plot incorporated a few new concepts into the story.

The Founder

Allison Rose | Apr 25, 2017

The Founder may evoke sympathy for the McDonald brothers and their descendants and may turn fans of McDonald’s off the franchise, as it left me angry and sad and tired of greedy people and the corporations they run.

Underworld: Blood Wars

Nathan M Rose | Apr 24, 2017

A lot of younger faces are introduced to this new film (Underworld: Blood Wars), in the hopeful attempt to bring in a more youthful audience to the series as most of their fans have grown up.

Split

Jennifer Broderick | Apr 21, 2017

Although the plot itself (a mentally ill man kidnapping girls) has been done before and isn’t that much of an engaging storyline, the film succeeds because of McAvoy’s extraordinary acting skills.

Sand Castle

Allison Rose | Apr 20, 2017

While the material isn’t necessarily anything new or earth-shattering – we all know from the news the struggles out troops have faced overseas – I thought the movie presented a slightly more interesting view of what when on there.

Judith Raymer | Apr 20, 2017

James Gray has paced this film such as to allow the audience the time to truly understand the varying layers and perspectives.

Donnie Darko Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Donnie Darko (4-Disc Limited Edition)

Leonard Buccellato | Apr 18, 2017

If you are a fan of Donnie Darko you should buy this boxed set and if you’ve never seen this movie before, you need to buy it; you owe it to yourself to watch it multiple times and become obsessed, like the rest of us!

Fate of The Furious

Allison Rose | Apr 13, 2017

The series has a loyal fan base and if the crowds for the previous screenings are any indications this movie will do very well at the box office. With movies nine and ten already announced, it looks like we will be seeing a lot more of Dom and company in the future.

The Complete Seventh Season

Sean Ferguson | Apr 12, 2017

For me, season 7 was my favorite season (of Archer) so far. I love the direction they took the series in and while it sets up what could be an incredibly creative season 8….Season 7 was just a ton fun!
