E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
The 4K E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Blu-ray really stands out in 2160p resolution with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and H2.65 HVEC Codec. While the film was never intended to be seen in this advanced format the picture doesn’t come across as grainy and the effects don’t seem fake.

The Mummy
As with most modern day film 4K releases, The Mummy looks amazing. The UHD color palette truly shines through during the Iraq desert scenes as well as providing a dark ominous look to the catacombs of London.
Supernatural: The Complete Twelfth Season
With The CW agreeing to fund Supernatural as long as Jared and Jensen want to do it there seems to be no end in site for the Winchester brothers and things that go bump in the night.
The Flash: The Complete Third Season
The Flash is probably one of the best television shows today. The writers bring you into the story and you feel invested as to what happens. The actors seem like a real team and their problems and achievements become yours.
Red 2
If you were looking for the same brilliance found in the first Red film, lightning doesn’t strike twice I’m afraid. However, the characters are still loveable and the concept is terrific. There are also some great lines and scenes that make the movie worth watching.
Gotham: The Complete Third Season
Gotham is a network much like the mob mentality it presents, like a spider spinning its web, ensuring that all the facets of each inner workings run smoothly. The storyline is the central focus along with the different characters and all the side stories.
Red
Red (which stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous in case you were wondering) is a fun film with seasoned actors who do a great job. It isn’t the standard shoot ‘em up action films which makes it even more enjoyable to audiences of various ages.
Megan Leavey
Much as she has done in her documentaries, Cowperthwaite captures her subject(s) sincerely and honestly; such that it naturally diverges into other matters.
All Eyez on Me
Fans of the late Tupac Shakur will enjoy it while remembering him with fondness but the rest of us will see it as an okay movie about a legend.
The Last Face
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.
