Homeland: The Complete Sixth Season Feb 19, 2018 While focusing on the drama of the Middle East that has been a focal point of this Country for years now, Homeland still has a basic premise at heart - good old human drama which always makes for thrilling television.  Full Review  | Grade: B

The Complete Fourteenth Season Dec 19, 2016 Family Guy has everything the world needs- politically incorrect, dysfunctional family- the way we think our lives really are. Full Review  | Grade: B

Jason Bourne Dec 06, 2016 While the plot of Jason Bourne was not as cohesive as the first three films, it still is a vast improvement over The Bourne Legacy. Full Review  | Grade: A

Criminial Jul 28, 2016 Jericho Stewart (Kevin Costner; Dances with Wolves) is a maximum-security criminal who, because of a traumatic brain injury as a child, can't reason between right and wrong and feels no emotions. Full Review  | Grade: C

Code of Honor Jul 05, 2016 To be honest, Seagal was never what one may consider Oscar-worthy, and this performance is no exception. Full Review  | Grade: D

Sisters Mar 17, 2016 All in all, Sisters does not disappoint. Many laughs are to be had, as one would expect from this comedy team. Full Review  | Grade: B

Mike Tyson Mysteries: The Compete First Season Oct 19, 2015 The intelligent, yes, intelligent, humor combined with references to Mike Tyson's real life make for a very entertaining and unique watch. Full Review  | Grade: B

The Last Man on Earth: The Complete First Season Oct 03, 2015 One thing that is refreshing about the series is that this post-apocalyptic world doesn’t have zombies, vampires or aliens that have come to conquer the Earth unlike so many of the feature films being produced these days. Full Review  | Grade: B

Gotham: The Complete First Season Sep 14, 2015 The show itself is dark, and accurately portrays Gotham as a town overrun by various mob organizations. I was definitely left wanting more and the series finale leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat. Full Review  | Grade: A

The Good Lie Dec 23, 2014 While The Good Lie a very moving story and is definitely an entertaining film with very heart-wrenching real life ties, it’s not one that will be remembered through the ages. Best bet is to rent, unless you are a collector. Full Review  | Grade: B
