Oct 15, 2018

With a great script, excellent cast and a fresh take on an old idea, Barry aims for the target and shoots a bullseye each week (yes the cheesy pun is intended).

First Man

Oct 11, 2018

First Man is dramatic and thoughtful and balances the silence and tension with the lighter moments. It’s an interesting take on The United States Space program in the 1960’s and the man that would become revered as an American Hero.

The Punisher

Sep 25, 2018

The Dolby Atmos audio is great and adds a wonderful richness to The Punisher. Every gunshot and explosion (and believe me there are plenty) can be heard distinctly.
