November Criminals

Jan 18, 2018

Elgort is an immensely talented actor so his portrayal of the hormonal/distraught Addison is very well done. Factoring in his “baby face” looks into the equation and he gives the character a certain naiveté that helps make his performance believable.

12 Strong

Jan 18, 2018

12 Strong kept my attention and gave me new insight into what our military was involved in overseas after 9/11. While some will say it “glamorizes” war, it is nonetheless entertaining and informative.

Blade Runner 2049

Jan 15, 2018

If one has to wait over 30 years for a sequel, it better be worth it and I can assure you, Blade Runner 2049 certainly fits the bill. Visually and orally exceptional, it is well acted and directed and is worth the investment.

My Little Pony: The Movie

The voice talent in Little Pony: The Movie is incredibly strong with veteran voice actors and the aforementioned cast with a 1080p high definition video quality is strong and the colors pop off the screen beautifully.

The Dark Knight

Jan 08, 2018

The 2160p high definition video quality is much kinder to The Dark Knight than it was to its predecessor, Batman Begins. The special effects are so well done that you can’t see any flaws in the upgrade to 4K.

Batman Begins

Jan 03, 2018

With Nolan at the helm and Bale steering the ship this Batman film delves deeper and is more serious than its predecessors but it works so well you can’t help but admire the craftsmanship.
