Paper Towns
Unlike some other coming of age films, Paper Towns is fairly well done with intricacies and nuances not always developed in these types of films.

Max
Besides the film’s furry stars, and the message about our veterans (of all kinds), the movie doesn’t offer much in the way of entertainment or believability.
Edward Scissorhands
It's difficult to believe this film premiered 25 years ago, but this anniversary edition allows older audiences to introduce a new generation to the gentle, childlike Scissorhands while teaching a lesson on accepting those who are different.
Home Alone Ultimate Collector's Edition
For anyone who enjoyed the series and wants a little bit of holiday nostalgia, this paint can is a terrific way to relive it all. For the formidable collector, it would be a welcome addition and a perfect holiday gift.
Aladdin
It’s difficult to find fault in any way with Aladdin and, as a fan, I say it is about time Disney released it again for everyone to enjoy.
San Andreas
The destruction of large cities and the Hoover Dam are not easy to accomplish but the crew does it well enough, and the 1080p video and 5.1 high definition audio help to enhance those scenes beautifully.
The Gallows
There is nothing redeeming about The Gallows and I question why it ever got made. I know it made a profit, which is, of course, the ultimate goal in movies; but it was unentertaining and moronic. Don’t waste your time or money.
Rocky Horror Picture Show: 40th Anniversary
If you are a fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and all it represents, you will want to get this Blu-ray and watch it with a group of friends, plenty of wine and props to carefully throw at your TV screen.
Jane the Virgin: The Complete First Season
Jane The Virgin is getting a lot of praise and accolades, but, I, for one, simply don’t get all the hype.
Modern Family: The Complete Sixth Season
I believe Modern Family has a lot of life left in it and I am anxious to see what they come up with for this new season. They still have a strong following, despite being past their “heyday”, and fans will most likely enjoy this DVD collection of season six.
