Finding Dory
Finding Dory is obviously one of this summer’s animated blockbusters and Disney/Pixar are counting on our love of the original film to draw audiences to the movie. Luckily, the film has the quality to make people want to see it.

The Martian: Extended Edition
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.
London Has Fallen
It was a guilty pleasure for me seeing Mike Banning again on the big screen being a one man army because these films harken back to the big action films of the 80s that I so sorely miss today.
The Complete First Season
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.
Zootopia
Zootopia Stands On Its Own Two Feet, just like its Anthropomorphic Characters!
Now You See Me 2
From a purely entertainment stand point, Now You See Me 2 is an interesting two hours and for budding magicians it’s probably a must see. However, as with many sequels, it doesn’t equal the original.
Roots
Everything about Roots was epic. It ran for twelve hours over 8 nights and brought in record ratings, some of which still hold to this day.
Me Before You
There is a reason Warner Bros. distributed tissues during the preview screening, so if you are in need of a good cry, I highly recommend Me Before You.
Gods of Egypt
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.
Alice Through the Looking Glass
The biggest problem with Alice Through the Looking Glass is it tries too hard and falls short.
