Ice Age: Collision Course
The public has demanded it and 20th Century Fox has delivered. Yes, Scrat and his acorn are back. Finally.
X-Men: First Class
The advancement of 4K technology has truly enhanced the video viewing concept especially for a film like this one.
Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Premiere: Out of Time
The time travel and history included in Season’s Two’s premiere seems to take the show into a different direction than Season One.
X-Men: Apocalypse
Despite having watched X-Men:Apocalypse in a brand new, state of the art movie theater opening weekend, there were still new details and graphics coming through the 4k resolution.
Grey’s Anatomy - What Will Season 13 Bring Us?
Many questions remain unsolved in the Season 13 premiere.
Aliens: 30th Anniversary Edition
The transfer is the exact same one that was in the Alien Anthology release... so if you are expecting a different viewing experience than before you will be somewhat disappointed.
A Bigger Splash
Ralph Fiennes’ performance is immaculate. Unlike many of the serious characters he has played in the past, he brings a completely different persona to Hawkes.
Captain America: Civil War
Marvel has outdone themselves with Captain America:Civil War, putting together a cohesive story of many heroes.
Who Gets the Dog?
Silverstone and Kwanten are spectacular. Their chemistry is unmistakable and their lines are delivered with precision and emotion, without over-dramatization.
The Jungle Book
Christopher Walken, who voices King Louie, the ape, is a far cry from the original Jungle Book. Walken was a brilliant choice to bring this re-invented character to life.
