The Conjuring 2

(Sean Ferguson) 9/13/2016 10:29 AM EST
Let me preface this with a note to all who are reading this: I am not a fan of the Horror Movie Genre. The idea of getting scared in a theater because of a made up ghost or "presence" is ridiculous! I also find it amazing that people shell out $12/$15 to have a cat or something jump into the screen, so they can scream like a teenage girl ... Read More

A Bigger Splash is set in Rome on a Sicilian Island and stars Tilda Swinton (Doctor Strange), as Marianne Lane, a rock singer, and her boyfriend, Paul De Smedt (Matthias Schoenaerts; The Danish Girl).

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/12/2016 4:55 PM EST
Pop music is a staple on the radio and won't be going anywhere anytime soon. It's also ripe for jokes and ridicule. The outrageous things popstars do just to get attention can be mind blowing sometimes. I can't think of anyone better to parody this genre than Saturday Night Live Alumni Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).Conne... Read More

Captain America: Civil War

(Jennifer Broderick) 9/12/2016 3:29 PM EST
Everyone loves to see the good guys beat the bad guys but watching it happen in the first fifteen minutes of a movie is exceptional. Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, the third in a trilogy starring Chris Evans as the World War II-made hero, Captain America, shows that three is a charm. Bringing all the Avengers characters togeth... Read More

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/9/2016 11:15 AM EST
It was called the "Trial of the Century" and it had the American public captivated for almost 10 months. Orenthal James (O.J.) Simpson (Cuba Gooding, Jr.; Selma) was arrested and formally charged with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and restaurant worker Ronald Goldman. Captured in a 10-hour limi...

The Flash: The Complete Second Season

(Sean Ferguson) 9/7/2016 11:13 AM EST
Zoom! Went The Strings Of My Heart.This week out on Blu-ray and DVD is Season Two of the Warner Bros. Television & CW's hit series The Flash, and all I can say is, love is in the air! It seems as if while Season One revolved more around Barry Allen and his family issues, along with his unrequited love for Iris West, this season involves a b... Read More

All the Way

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/7/2016 9:14 AM EST
The Sixties were a tumultuous time in this country. Civil rights protests and the subsequent violent aftermaths popped up all over the south. The Vietnam conflict escalated overseas and President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as our 36th President and inherited one l... Read More

Urge

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/6/2016 3:48 PM EST
I've been a fan of Pierce Brosnan since his Remington Steele days and I was happy when he finally got to play the iconic role of James Bond. So when I saw his name attached to the Blu-ray for Urge I was intrigued enough to pop it into my player. When I finished an hour and a half later, I couldn't believe Brosnan had actua... Read More

The Complete Eleventh Season

(Nathan M Rose) 9/6/2016 10:25 AM EST
It's starting to look a lot like fall. The air is getting cooler, the leaves will change color soon, kids are going back to school, and it is another year that Supernatural graces audiences with a Blu-ray combo pack full of last year's on-screen antics of the Winchester boys saving the world from another apocalypse.Last time we checked in w...

The Night Manager

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/30/2016 10:20 AM EST
In 1993, John le Carre (The Russia House) debuted a best selling novel entitled The Night Manager. Twenty-three years later, the story is once again resonating with audiences worldwide as a 6-part mini-series which aired on the BBC (UK) and AMC (USA) this past spring. With intrigue, suspense and drama oozing from almost every scene, the... Read More
