The Expendables 2 Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
The Expendables 2
If you or someone you love enjoyed the first Expendables movie, then you will definitely want to get yourself (or them) this one as well.  It’s funnier, more well written, and more plot driven while still offering the audience lots of the action they love.  It makes a great gift and is definitely worthy of any collection, especially in the 4K format.

Animal Kingdom Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Animal Kingdom: The Complete First Season
As we see these people vying for their place in the family...the audience can easily become caught up in the awkwardness of it all.  With a somewhat perverse reverse Oedipus complex dynamic occurring on a regular basis.

The Founder Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Founder
The Founder may evoke sympathy for the McDonald brothers and their descendants and may turn fans of McDonald’s off the franchise, as it left me angry and sad and tired of greedy people and the corporations they run.
