The Last Face

Sean Ferguson | Sep 05, 2017

Charlize Theron lays down an amazing performance with a character that just gets pushed over into hopelessness. Javier Bardem also puts in an Oscar-worthy performance as a doctor who’s always risking his life to save others to the detriment of his own life.

The Cabin In The Woods

Allison Rose | Sep 05, 2017

The Cabin In The Woods video quality is suburb. There is obviously some green screen bleed though and the backgrounds look terribly fake which is unfortunate but sometimes an unforeseen issue with a 4K transfer.

Blade Runner

Allison Rose | Sep 05, 2017

Ridley Scot, Harrison Ford, and Blade Runner fans alike will thoroughly enjoy this latest version of the 4k UHD Blu-ray experience even if you own previously released ones. A must have for the ultimate Blade Runner fan and a good reminder as we gear up for Blade Runner 2049’s theatrical release.

Batman and Harley Quinn

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 29, 2017

Batman and Harley Quinn is a delight to watch. Adding Harley Quinn was a genius step for Warner Bros. and DC Comics and the adult humor added makes those of adults – well, feel like kids again!

The Lion King Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Lion King: Walt Disney Signature Collection

Allison Rose | Aug 29, 2017

Whether you are young or old, The Lion King is a wonderful film that deserves to be enjoyed over and over again. With better picture and audio quality, and new extras, any fans should pick up this latest version.

Ronin

Allison Rose | Aug 28, 2017

If you are a fan of the movie, De Niro or Frankenheimer then you will want to consider purchasing this latest version of Ronin. It’s very good quality and gives you extra “treats” you haven’t gotten before. If you haven’t ever seen the film, it’s worth watching.

Inconceivable

Allison Rose | Aug 28, 2017

Inconceivable is an interesting enough idea but lacks the punch and suspense that The Hand That Rocks the Cradle did. It is simply a reminder that women who use surrogates and donor eggs to have their children sometimes have a rough road.

Black Sails Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Black Sails: The Complete Fourth Season

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 28, 2017

Black Sails brought sex, violence, pirates, and a rich history to our homes for fours years. While not a show for the entire family, adults in the house who have never seen Black Sails are missing out on an epic story.

The Walking Dead Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season

Leonard Buccellato | Aug 28, 2017

George A. Romero was not only the creator of the Zombie Horror genre, he was the inspiration for Kirkman’s The Walking Dead series. To ignore George’s impact on the horror genre at large, as well as the Zombie sub-genre, is doing him a great disservice.

Prometheus

Nathan M Rose | Aug 28, 2017

Prometheus is a simple and beautiful, thought provoking, amazing film that expands the Alien universe beyond its Xenomorph constraints that tied the sequel’s hands. It explores the question of who and why we are here as much as providing entertainment and chills.
