Jennifer Broderick, FlickDirect film critic

A graduate of The George Washington University and Nova Southeastern Law School Jennifer Fischer Broderick’s fascination with the movie world started when she first saw Snow White on the big screen as a young child. When the producers of the movie Annie held auditions in NYC, Jennifer stood on line in the cold to try out for a part and actually made it past the first few try-outs. A vivacious reader, she is fascinated watching books and stories brought to life on the big screen. Jennifer has passed her love of movies onto her children and they are often found planning their weekends around opening premieres.


Supergirl Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Supergirl: The Complete Second Season
Supergirl is a solid show and brings a different perspective to the Superhero world from its sister shows.  While I still see the storyline as a work in progress, Supergirl has a solid cast and an understandable plot that has a lot of steam left.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 is an amazing masterpiece that the entire family can enjoy and learn from. More than just a Marvel movie, the moral of this movie is quite clear. You can't choose your blood- but you can sure choose your family.

The Blacklist Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Blacklist: The Complete Fourth Season
There is a lot going on in The Blacklist and sometimes I think some of the characters are underutilized, but the consistent story between Keene and Reddington is the underlying theme for this fascinating show.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete Second Season
DC's Legends of Tomorrow provides a smooth and easy to follow the storyline, the cast meshes and seamlessly works together. This is a family friendly television series that uses history, science, and sci-fi to provide a lot of conversation once the episode airs.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul
Diary of a Wimpy Kid:  The Long Haul is a cute movie, with a new cast, that flows the way the prior two movies in the franchise did.  Aimed at the younger school age, it is a resourceful movie but the adults may crave a deeper philosophy than presented.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword blurred the lines between fairytale and history making the audience think for itself. Watching King Arthur: Legend of The Sword is a visceral experience - one you won’t be able to tear your eyes away from.

Blindspot Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Blindspot: The Complete Second Season
Blindspot has clearly shown what creative writing, determination, and the casting of the right actors can do for a show- bring it an audience that is mesmerized and captivated by the story and sub-plots that clearly exist to support the show.

Buster's Mal Heart Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Buster's Mal Heart
Honestly my immediate first impression, I thought this was a strange movie but I stuck it out and was absolutely blown away by the storyline.  Buster was a caring character, one I became invested in because I wanted him to have his land, get away from his nasty and mean mother-in-law, and get a job on the day shift.

Free Fire Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Free Fire
Free Fire is about 90 minutes, which is long enough to provide a cohesive storyline without making the audience glance at their watch.  The film is an entertaining light action flick to add to your collection.

Bambi Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Bambi
The Digital HD comes with one exclusive bonus feature- Celebrating Tyrus Wong.  This is almost a nine-minute bonus of how Mr. Wong's life and art influences Bambi. This is a unique opportunity to really see what went into the actual creating of Bambi.
