Allison Rose | Jun 15, 2016

The real gem of the latest (The Martian) Blu-ray edition comes in the extras. The added feature is a Q&A with NASA scientists, Writer Andy Weir, Director Ridley Scott, and various other members of the space exploration community, including Bill Nye.

The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Jun 13, 2016

The cast (of Ballers) is terrific and work well together. (Dwayne) Johnson is obviously in his comfort zone and his acting is better for it.

Gods of Egypt

Nathan M Rose | May 31, 2016

Alex Proyas and the cast of Gods of Egypt did the best they could do with the source material presented to them, and while it isn’t a terrible movie, it is certainly not one that is in the same league as the Hunger Games franchise that it is trying to replace.
