The Bye Bye Man Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Bye Bye Man
(The Bye Bye Man) had some potential but maybe for budget reasons the characters and plot never fully get fleshed out which is a shame.  It had the makings of an original psychological/sci-fi thriller but just can’t seem to deliver.

20th Century Women Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
20th Century Women
Part of why this script works is the cast.  They work so well together that the dialogue makes sense and the scenes feel as intimate as they should.

The Smurfs Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
The Smurfs
For those, like me, who remember the cartoon, this movie is a pleasant stroll down memory lane.  The Smurfs are well animated with special attention given to details.

Assassins Creed
With a terrific cast full of Oscar nominees and winners, I had pretty high expectations...Fassbender is pretty tough as Cal...Irons always makes for a convincing bad guy.

Sing Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Sing
Sing reminds of why Illumination Studios is one of the best in the field, giving Disney and Pixar a run for their money.

Shut In Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Shut In
For all its flaws, if you like thrillers and need a distraction to go along with some popcorn on a cold and rainy night, Shut In is a viable option.

Moana
If you love Disney animated movies, or if you have small children at home...heck, even if you don't meet either category, this is a movie you'll want to own.
