River Runs Red

Dec 17, 2018

The subject matter of River Runs Red is relevant and timely and it once again shines a light on an ugly problem we have in this country. However, the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

We, the Marines

Dec 17, 2018

We, the Marines made me feel a little of the pride these soldiers experience upon joining the Corps and offered a different perspective of what it means to be a Marine.

Philadelphia brought a dream team of Hanks and Washington together with incredible results. The film also made an impact on the Nation at a time when one was desperately needed. It is a reminder of how far we have come as a society and certainly should be owned in 4K UHD.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout has a solid plot surrounded by the amazing stunts discussed earlier. As action films go this is the full package and certainly one of this year’s best. Cruise could retire after this knowing he made an incredible film.
