Murder on the Orient Express Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Murder on the Orient Express
The cast of this remake is veritable who’s who of Hollywood elite. Unfortunately, this script doesn’t give any of them a meaty enough part to sink their teeth into.  While terrific as usual, none of then deliver an Oscar-worthy performance.

Lady and The Tramp Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Lady And The Tramp Signature Collection
If you are a Disney fan or have little ones at home this is a purchase you certainly want to make. Disney movies are always a treat and this older one certainly stands the test of time and remains an enjoyable story told through the eyes of some adorable dogs.

Darkest Hour Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Darkest Hour
Darkest Hour offers a look into a very specific and limited time frame in Churchill’s reign. The tumultuous issues would have given any politician cause for concern and pause but the movie depicts Churchill as a rather eccentric yet brilliant man.

Sean Baker does an excellent job of editing the film and the pace moves along nicely.  The script is well done and the subject matter is very interesting.

Wonder Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Wonder
At a time in our lives when bullying is so prevalent and not tolerated and inclusion is the word of the day, it seems Palacio’s novel and the subsequent film ring true.  Wonder is a feel-good movie with a deeper message that stars a great cast.

November Criminals Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
November Criminals
Elgort is an immensely talented actor so his portrayal of the hormonal/distraught Addison is very well done. Factoring in his “baby face” looks into the equation and he gives the character a certain naiveté that helps make his performance believable.
