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.
Dog Days
While Dog Days revolves around the dogs and how they bring lives together, they aren’t the main focus. The relationships between the humans are the story here. The point the movie does make though is how these pets enrich our lives.
Scrooged 30th Anniversary Edition
As Christmas time is full of traditions, I say buy Scrooged and make a new tradition of watching it every year with your loved ones around you. It won’t disappoint and will remind you all if what is important in life and not to squander any opportunity to embrace love and family.
Ralph Breaks The Internet
As sequels go this one hits the mark. It is enjoyable and entertaining and offers TONS of Easter eggs for the audience to dissect. The Disney team did a wonderful job visualizing what the internet might look like from the inside.
Blindspotting
Blindspotting is enjoyable and entertaining while offering a sober look at some of the things facing our young, black male population, especially in urban settings. Serious moments peppered with humor and fun keep this film from being too bogged down.
Instant Family
Instant Family is a feel-good film during the holiday season and one that should be seen by everyone as it might just start a much-needed dialogue.
