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.

Supergirl Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Supergirl: The Complete Second Season

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 24, 2017

Supergirl is a solid show and brings a different perspective to the Superhero world from its sister shows. While I still see the storyline as a work in progress, Supergirl has a solid cast and an understandable plot that has a lot of steam left.

Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 is an amazing masterpiece that the entire family can enjoy and learn from. More than just a Marvel movie, the moral of this movie is quite clear. You can't choose your blood- but you can sure choose your family.

Ash vs Evil Dead Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Ash vs Evil Dead: The Complete Second Season

Nathan M Rose | Aug 22, 2017

Ash vs. Evil Dead season two is very much in the same vein as the first season, and while it really doesn’t explore much new territory fans of season one will fully enjoy the second season, with all its campy humor, blood and guts, and Deadites.

The Blacklist Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Blacklist: The Complete Fourth Season

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 21, 2017

There is a lot going on in The Blacklist and sometimes I think some of the characters are underutilized, but the consistent story between Keene and Reddington is the underlying theme for this fascinating show.

Alien: Covenant

Nathan M Rose | Aug 21, 2017

Alien: Covenant’s true heroes are not the xenomorph aliens, but the characters created by Scott and the actors’ performances as the colony just trying to survive the horrific events that have taken over their lives.

Snatched

Allison Rose | Aug 18, 2017

The Snatched 4K Blu-ray has superior quality with the 2160p video and 2.40:1 aspect ratio. The Jungle scenes are especially lush and beautiful and the color palette jumps off the screen many times.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete Second Season

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 15, 2017

DC's Legends of Tomorrow provides a smooth and easy to follow the storyline, the cast meshes and seamlessly works together. This is a family friendly television series that uses history, science, and sci-fi to provide a lot of conversation once the episode airs.

The Lincoln Lawyer

Allison Rose | Aug 15, 2017

For a slightly older film, Lincoln Lawyer's video quality is pretty good. Some scenes seem a little grainy but otherwise, the colors and presentation are solid. The audio is excellent with ambient sounds coming clearly through the side and rear channels delegating the dialogue nicely to the center channel.
