Movie Reviews, Digital HD Reviews, and Streaming Reviews

The Fifth Element To-date, The Fifth Element, is hands down Luc Besson’s most accomplished film. The story is extremely compelling and interesting, the cast blends perfectly with the amazing sets and action, and even though it had a mixed reception when it opened in 1997 it has come to be loved the world over.

Smurfs: The Lost Village The Dolby Atmos track is truly where Smurfs: The Lost Village shines. Audio moves effortlessly from one speaker to another and travels throughout the room. It really feels like you are transported into the audio-visual space of the Smurfs.

Their Finest The cast is one of the gems of Their Finest.  Arterton combines an inner strength with an outward vulnerability and naiveté to create the perfect Catrin.  She is sweet and mild but possesses a fire hidden underneath the surface that she doesn’t even realize she has.

Absolutely Anything With a terrific cast and one of the Monty Python writers penning the script for Absolutely Anything, I had hopes for something really fun.  Unfortunately, I got mildly entertaining fare for an hour and a half.

The Belko Experiment While The Belko Experiment will never be anything more than a cult classic film it provides a nice escape for its runtime of 88 minutes. James Gunn and director Greg McLean have created a fun film that anyone who works in the corporate world should see at least once in their life.

Money As it made its way around the film festival circuit last year, Money garnered well-deserved praise and award nominations.  It was a terrific film that deserves watching.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes While technically Dawn of the Planet of The Apes is a perfect movie, it still has its flaws, but, with saying that, it is still an amazing sequel to and should be watched before War For The Planet of The Apes.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes The 4K offers a unique viewing experience that, in this case, is well worth it and any Planet of the Apes fan will not only want to get this combo pack but its sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, as well.

The Unholy Vestron Video Collector’s Series, in my opinion, is a hit. They continue to release movies from their archives, packed with a ton of extras, too.

CHiPs The basic concepts of the show are still there, but that is about it.  CHiPs is raw and action packed and wears it’s R-rated badge with pride.
