Wild Rose
Between the script the visuals and the highly talented cast, Wild Rose is a great ride that you will want to go on from the minute the movie starts to its somewhat yet fitting ending.
The Kid
While the concept is interesting enough the script doesn’t live up to the idea and most of the project simply falls flat.
Toy Story 4
Disney manages to breathe new life into the Toy Story franchise, and found a way to once again give a cohesive tale that again finishes Woody’s saga as a childhood toy.
Men in Black: International
Hemsworth plays his part well and is actually much of the “comic” relief in this film along with a cute chess piece Molly names Pawny voiced by Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick).
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
Regardless of your political views, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a fairly well put together film that will appeal to ex-military and those interested in military-style films
Dark Phoenix
Dark Phoenix's special effects were extremely well done especially on the mutants as even the smallest details were ascertainable to the naked eye.
Batman & Robin
If you are buying the other three films in this series, I would invest in this one too since it completes the set and the technical quality is the best we have seen.
Batman Forever
Regardless of whether or not this is not your favorite Batman film, the technical brilliance is hard to deny. One watching and you will be hooked.
The Natural
You can’t go wrong adding The Natural to your home entertainment collection. It’s a home run!
