Gone Girl
While this film and Blu-ray is perfect in every way the lack of special features is truly a downer for such an amazing piece of cinema.

Into The Woods
Overall, a great way to spend a Christmas day with the family and certainly worth the price of admission.
The Imitation Game

This Is Where I Leave You
Judd (Jason Bateman, Arrested Development) is having a really bad year. He comes home early from work to surprise his wife on her birthday only to find her in bed with his boss. T...
The Hundred-Foot Journey
Overall, it is an interesting story about racism and the competitive world of fine cuisine with a little human interest thrown in.

While I would caution people about a film that is going to make them cry, I can recommend If I stay as a solid story, including good acting, good music, and a plot that will make them think and hug their loved ones a little tighter tonight.

How do you milk a successful book series for as much as you can? You split the last book in half and open the movie on Thanksgiving weekend.
Into The Storm
Into the Storm isn’t worth watching once, let alone over and over again. If you’re looking for a good, exciting movie for a Saturday night on the couch, do yourself a favor and choose Twister instead.
