The Martian Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Martian: Extended Edition

Allison Rose | Jun 15, 2016

The real gem of the latest (The Martian) Blu-ray edition comes in the extras. The added feature is a Q&A with NASA scientists, Writer Andy Weir, Director Ridley Scott, and various other members of the space exploration community, including Bill Nye.

London Has Fallen

Nathan M Rose | Jun 13, 2016

It was a guilty pleasure for me seeing Mike Banning again on the big screen being a one man army because these films harken back to the big action films of the 80s that I so sorely miss today.

The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Jun 13, 2016

The cast (of Ballers) is terrific and work well together. (Dwayne) Johnson is obviously in his comfort zone and his acting is better for it.

Zootopia

Zootopia Stands On Its Own Two Feet, just like its Anthropomorphic Characters!

Roots

Allison Rose | Jun 07, 2016

Everything about Roots was epic. It ran for twelve hours over 8 nights and brought in record ratings, some of which still hold to this day.

Gods of Egypt

Nathan M Rose | May 31, 2016

Alex Proyas and the cast of Gods of Egypt did the best they could do with the source material presented to them, and while it isn’t a terrible movie, it is certainly not one that is in the same league as the Hunger Games franchise that it is trying to replace.

The Finest Hours

Nathan M Rose | May 24, 2016

The Finest Hours, while not a horrible film, really just isn’t that compelling of a story.

How To Be Single

Nathan M Rose | May 24, 2016

With 20th Century Fox’s Deadpool sucking out most of the air on Valentine’s Weekend 2016, most critics didn’t give this film a second look, which is extremely unfortunate.

Deadpool

Nathan M Rose | May 22, 2016

Making sure Deadpool 4k is presented with the best quality, every inch of space on the 4k Blu-ray disc is used for the picture and sound relegated the extra to the Blu-ray disc which also comes in the package.
