Warlock Collection

Leonard Buccellato | Jul 25, 2017

I don’t know how many times I can say this but these Vestron Video releases are casting a spell on me

Dunkirk

Allison Rose | Jul 18, 2017

Hans Zimmer’s score also added an additional element to the overall feel of Dunkirk and helped build the suspense and momentum throughout. The cinematography was exceptional with shots from above of a vast waterway and close up views of the beach, inside a ship, and the French shoreline.

Resident Evil: Vendetta

Allison Rose | Jul 18, 2017

Fans of Resident Evil who enjoy the video game will love being enveloped once again in the game through this latest release. The action, graphics and story are good enough to be included in the franchise. And if you include yourself in that grouping then you should definitely invest in the 4K version.

Buster's Mal Heart

Jennifer Broderick | Jul 17, 2017

Honestly my immediate first impression, I thought this was a strange movie but I stuck it out and was absolutely blown away by the storyline. Buster was a caring character, one I became invested in because I wanted him to have his land, get away from his nasty and mean mother-in-law, and get a job on the day shift.

Free Fire

Jennifer Broderick | Jul 17, 2017

Free Fire is about 90 minutes, which is long enough to provide a cohesive storyline without making the audience glance at their watch. The film is an entertaining light action flick to add to your collection.

Kong: Skull Island

Nathan M Rose | Jul 17, 2017

Hiddleston’s, Larson’s, Goodman’s, and castaway John C. Reilly’s (Wreck-It Ralph) performances help ground the film in our world while Jackson’s character’s personal struggle with Kong echoes back to Captain Ahab and his “to-the-death” fight with the whale Moby Dick.

Song to Song

Allison Rose | Jul 12, 2017

Malick has a distinct eye and his visuals are unique and interesting....His knack for creating the electric sexual undercurrent throughout the film should be commended. While we rarely see an actual lovemaking scene, the smallest of glances and touches ignite the screen.

The Lost City of Z

Allison Rose | Jul 10, 2017

Charlie Hunnam is very good as Fawcett playing him with a calm demeanor and not the obsessive, goal driven human one might think he might have been in real life.

Léon: The Professional

Allison Rose | Jul 10, 2017

Besson’s voice is definitely unique and distinct in everything he writes and directs. His decidedly French influence is obvious in everything from angles and costumes to the music chosen for his films’ soundtracks. Leon: The Professional is no different, which is part of what makes it such a classic movie loved by audiences around the world.

Fate of The Furious

Nathan M Rose | Jul 10, 2017

People critical that the series should have ended with number seven will be pleasantly surprised by this film. Fate of the Furious is great fun throughout the entire movie. It gives audiences all the thrills and stunts they are looking for in a Fast and Furious film and keeps pushing the boundaries of what you can do with cars (and physics).
