Jul 26, 2018

The 2160p upscaled 4K video is excellent and certainly worth the price. Details are sharp and black tones are deep and true. The tanker explosion towards the end of the film is amazing compared to the regular Blu-ray.

The Quick and the Dead

The Quick and the Dead is an interesting viewing experience if for no other reason than to see some good performances from a talented group of actors. The video and audio quality are excellent but can’t quite make up for the slow pace throughout.

Spinning Man

Jun 24, 2018

Spinning Man has the potential to be a very good film with a terrific cast and interesting concept. However, the delivery loses something as certain details leave the viewer in a murky fog.

American Animals

Jun 21, 2018

American Animals is entertaining while answering the question most people have thought about at one time or another…If I tried to commit a crime, could I get away with it?
