3:10 to Yuma Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
3:10 to Yuma
If you happen to love western movies, this one is a great example of the newer version.  From a terrific cast to a good story and some wonderful music and cinematography, 3:10 to Yuma is a disc worth owning.

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.

The Bye Bye Man Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Bye Bye Man
