Deadpool 2 Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Once Upon a Deadpool
Once Upon a Deadpool is more of a companion piece rather than a replacement for Deadpool 2 as it doesn’t easily explain several of the plot points which are glossed over in this family-friendlier version.

Bad Times at the El Royale
If you are a fan of Tarantino-esque type films then this is one you...it is an entertaining movie that requires viewing more than once to catch all the little nuances and details.

White Boy Rick Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
White Boy Rick
White Boy Rick is a solid effort that introduces Merritt and reminds us why we love McConaughey and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it all the more interesting.

Venom Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Venom
Venom is a unique alien movie, consistent with the Marvel we all have come to love. We root for Venom and in return, we are rewarded with a rich relationship between Brock and Venom.

River Runs Red Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
River Runs Red
The subject matter of River Runs Red is relevant and timely and it once again shines a light on an ugly problem we have in this country.  However, the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

We, the Marines Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
We, the Marines
We, the Marines made me feel a little of the pride these soldiers experience upon joining the Corps and offered a different perspective of what it means to be a Marine.

The Equalizer 2 Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
The Equalizer 2
If you are a fan of action films and particularly the first Equalizer  - or you just like Denzel Washington – then this purchase was tailor-made for you.

Philadelphia Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Philadelphia
Philadelphia brought a dream team of Hanks and Washington together with incredible results.  The film also made an impact on the Nation at a time when one was desperately needed. It is a reminder of how far we have come as a society and certainly should be owned in 4K UHD.
