River Runs Red
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
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.
Mortal Engines
If the steampunk aspect of Mortal Engines is one of the highlights ( and believe me, it is) then the script is one of the lower ones.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
R.I.P Stan Lee and be comforted in the knowledge that your legions of fans and your works of art will endure for a long time to come. I can't think of a better way to honor Mr. Lee as this film embodies everything we could want.
The Equalizer 2
If you are a fan of action films and particularly the first Equalizer - or you just like Denzel Washington – then this purchase was tailor-made for you.
It's a Wonderful Life
If "It's a Wonderful Life" is part of your annual holiday viewing tradition you will definitely want to invest in the Digital HD download as you won’t be disappointed.
Mary Queen of Scots
Yes, being a Queen in the Sixteenth century couldn’t have been easy and Mary, Queen of Scots, give the audience a mere glimpse into their lives.
Philadelphia
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
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.
