Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

Allison Rose | Mar 27, 2017

While all eight films are out on Blu-ray, the last four come to 4K Blu-ray this week and promise to be worth the asking price. The content hasn’t changed but the quality is just a little higher standard.

Assassins Creed

Allison Rose | Mar 21, 2017

With a terrific cast full of Oscar nominees and winners, I had pretty high expectations...Fassbender is pretty tough as Cal...Irons always makes for a convincing bad guy.
