Jack Ryan 5-Film Collection UHD 4K

Aug 28, 2018

The Jack Ryan 5-Film Collection UHD 4K is a box set that is worth splurging on and if you have a Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan fan in your life I suggest you buy two sets - one for yourself and one to give as a gift.

Deadpool 2

Aug 21, 2018

If the first Deadpool movie was funny and shocking the second is even more so with raunchier jokes and gags throughout. The script may not be as good as the original but it is still an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.

3-Movie Predator Collection

Aug 14, 2018

If you are a fan of the Predator series you should definitely go out and buy the 4K combo pack of the first three films. You won’t get better quality than this set.

Transporter 3

Aug 09, 2018

The trilogy takes a marked downward turn in the latest film but there are still some very good action scenes and car chases. Statham is still the brooding loner we have come to love and he plays his part well.

The Equalizer

Jul 26, 2018

The 2160p upscaled 4K video is excellent and certainly worth the price. Details are sharp and black tones are deep and true. The tanker explosion towards the end of the film is amazing compared to the regular Blu-ray.

The Quick and the Dead

Jul 25, 2018

The Quick and the Dead is an interesting viewing experience if for no other reason than to see some good performances from a talented group of actors. The video and audio quality are excellent but can’t quite make up for the slow pace throughout.
