Jumanji
Jumanji gets an update this month while Sony celebrates the 20th anniversary of the original with a 4K UHD Blu-ray release.
Logan Lucky
Daniel Craig is great as this hillbilly yet intelligent criminal. This role is unlike anything we have seen him play before as it was less serious and certainly less refined from his James Bond hero.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
With the upgrade in technology, it is no wonder the Harry Potter series has been given the updated release. These films are ripe for the newest and best and the transfers are very well done.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
If you are a Harry Potter fan and own a 4K Blu-ray player it is time to upgrade your collection to the latest technology. You won't regret it as you experience the movie anew in a whole new way.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Besson has a unique way of telling science fiction stories and Valerian follows that same mold. With an artistic flair, he graphically paints a picture and blurs the lines between perception and reality.
Preacher: The Complete Second Season
Overall, Preacher Season Two is a somewhat uneven season but still enjoyable for the most part. It will be interesting to see what they do next.
Patti Cake$
While Patti Cake$ is not overly long, the film is entertaining with the help of terrific characters. An underdog itself, it fights its way to the top to be among the contenders.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Culkin was a wonderful actor as a child and, to be honest, this film series wouldn’t have been the same with a different actor in the role. His slightly mischievous smile and maturity really make one believe that a young boy could be lost in New York all by himself and manage to pull it off.
The Glass Castle
Based on Jeanette's memoir about her life growing up in poverty with an alcoholic father, The Glass Castle is a mix of warmth, love, despair, and heartbreak.
