Arrow: The Complete Third Season

Nathan M Rose | Sep 28, 2015

It appears DC Comics wanted to give a more Batman type heroic character than being true to the comic book. While this does work on screen, it divides the type of Green Arrow character it’s fans enjoy.

Sleepy Hollow Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Sleepy Hollow: The Complete Second Season

Allison Rose | Sep 24, 2015

I can’t help but wonder if season three will be Sleepy Hollow’s last. If they don’t change their strategy from season two, I think many, like myself, will get bored with the “demon of the week” theme and tune out.

The Intern

Allison Rose | Sep 24, 2015

The Intern certainly isn’t going to win any major awards, but it is a light hearted, fun look at retirement and the generation gap.

Cinderella

Emily Hazlett | Sep 21, 2015

I would recommend this live action version of Cinderella to any die hard Disney fan...My only criticism is that some parts seemed a bit hokey, but no more than any other fairytale film you watch.

Blindspot

Allison Rose | Sep 21, 2015

While the concept of Blindspot is somewhat familiar, the addition of the mysterious tattoos makes it a little unique. I was intrigued enough to be entertained for the hour and am curious enough to want to see what happens in episode two.

Homeland: The Complete Fourth Season

Nathan M Rose | Sep 21, 2015

While Homeland Season four is a nice reinvention of the series, and in my opinion the strongest of the seasons, unfortunately, it’s Blu-ray release just doesn’t do it justice. Hopefully Season 5’s home entertainment release will make-up for it in 2016.

Black Mass

Allison Rose | Sep 17, 2015

Black Mass isn’t a docudrama, nor is it a “gangster” film; and, as a straightforward drama it just isn’t all that strong.

The Big Bang Theory Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Eighth Season

Allison Rose | Sep 14, 2015

The Big Bang Theory has a lot of life left in it and it will be interesting to see how they manage to continue the momentum.

Gotham: The Complete First Season

Maureen Buccellato | Sep 14, 2015

The show itself is dark, and accurately portrays Gotham as a town overrun by various mob organizations. I was definitely left wanting more and the series finale leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat.

Legend

Paul Kates | Sep 13, 2015

For me, after a year that promised so much and has given so little, it’s refreshing to walk out after seeing a movie and wanting to see it again. Legend is the best film I’ve seen this year.
