Modern Family Physical Media: DVD Review

Modern Family: The Complete Eighth Season

Sep 25, 2017

With some laughs still in play and the entire original cast still an integral part of the show, Modern Family has a lot going for it, which is probably why it has at least two more seasons.

Lethal Weapon Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Lethal Weapon: The Complete First Season

Sep 21, 2017

Fans of the original Lethal Weapon film will want to compare the show with the films but doing so would be detrimental to any chance of enjoying the series. Giving it a fair shot on its own, one will find it to be a decent piece of work with a lot of thought and time put into its writing and production.

Wonder Woman

Sep 19, 2017

In the realm of superhero movies, Wonder Woman is a shining example of a film done right. From Director Patty Jenkins (Monster) to Gadot to the costumes, script, and visuals there is very little to complain about. This is one movie everyone should own.

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

Sep 14, 2017

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.

Red 2

Sep 06, 2017

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.

Red

Sep 05, 2017

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.

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 Cabin In The Woods

Sep 05, 2017

The Cabin In The Woods video quality is suburb. There is obviously some green screen bleed though and the backgrounds look terribly fake which is unfortunate but sometimes an unforeseen issue with a 4K transfer.

Blade Runner

Sep 05, 2017

Ridley Scot, Harrison Ford, and Blade Runner fans alike will thoroughly enjoy this latest version of the 4k UHD Blu-ray experience even if you own previously released ones. A must have for the ultimate Blade Runner fan and a good reminder as we gear up for Blade Runner 2049’s theatrical release.
