From coal and fossil fuels to solar, wind and water there are numerous debates regarding how to save our planet....One company came up with a plan that seemed fantastic...if it seems too good to be true, it probably is and that is exactly what happens in Tim Smit’s directorial Debut, Kill Switch.

The Blacklist Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Blacklist: The Complete Fourth Season

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 21, 2017

There is a lot going on in The Blacklist and sometimes I think some of the characters are underutilized, but the consistent story between Keene and Reddington is the underlying theme for this fascinating show.

Alien: Covenant

Nathan M Rose | Aug 21, 2017

Alien: Covenant’s true heroes are not the xenomorph aliens, but the characters created by Scott and the actors’ performances as the colony just trying to survive the horrific events that have taken over their lives.

Snatched

Allison Rose | Aug 18, 2017

The Snatched 4K Blu-ray has superior quality with the 2160p video and 2.40:1 aspect ratio. The Jungle scenes are especially lush and beautiful and the color palette jumps off the screen many times.

The Lincoln Lawyer

Allison Rose | Aug 15, 2017

For a slightly older film, Lincoln Lawyer's video quality is pretty good. Some scenes seem a little grainy but otherwise, the colors and presentation are solid. The audio is excellent with ambient sounds coming clearly through the side and rear channels delegating the dialogue nicely to the center channel.

Everything, Everything

Allison Rose | Aug 15, 2017

Everything, Everything isn’t for everyone. True romantics especially females in the 13-18 range will “get it” but grown men who watch Sunday Night football won’t. Overall, it’s a sweet story that is done well enough.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 14, 2017

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is a cute movie, with a new cast, that flows the way the prior two movies in the franchise did. Aimed at the younger school age, it is a resourceful movie but the adults may crave a deeper philosophy than presented.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 09, 2017

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword blurred the lines between fairytale and history making the audience think for itself. Watching King Arthur: Legend of The Sword is a visceral experience - one you won’t be able to tear your eyes away from.

Going in Style

Paul Kates | Aug 08, 2017

Going in Style is an easy movie to follow that will make you laugh from beginning to end. They were able to bring a more lighthearted view to a serious issue that many seniors face today, living longer than you can afford to.
