Gremlins
If you grew up in the ‘80’s and remember a simpler time without cell phones or you want to introduce your kids to the “magic” of 1980’s films then Gremlins is a great place to start.
Shaft
If you are of a younger generation you will relate to many of the pop culture references that Shaft (2019) provides.
Booksmart
While Booksmart may seem like the typical teenage, high school, coming of age story, there is so much underneath the surface that anyone who watches it can take something away from the film.
The Flash: The Complete Fifth Season
The Flash is an example of what is right with television today as it entertains with great characters, strong writing and excellent storytelling.
Rambo
Rambo 4K UHD technical specs are very well done. The Dolby Vision video quality is generally a treat and this release is no exception.
Rocketman
This is certainly not your typical biopic but rather an entertaining mix of real life and fantasy – much like Elton John is himself.
Batman: Hush
O’Mara once again offers his deep, resonating voice to that of the Caped Crusader and does it well will terrific tonal inflection.
Tolkien
Hoult does a fine job portraying the troubled young man who would later become an incredible author. He comes across as intelligent, passionate and compassionate.
