4K UHD Review: Don’t Worry Darling
Don’t Worry Darling has to be among the best-looking films of the year. Victory, the fictional desert oasis the film takes place in, is an eye popping 1950’s America inspired suburb. Everything is so bright and perfect, I wished I could jump into the screen and explore. Unfortunately, Olivia Wilde’s sophomore directorial effort is not […]
Blu-ray Review: Richard Jewell
Clint Eastwood’s latest directorial effort Richard Jewell is based on the true story of a man who was hailed a hero, only to become suspected of a crime nearly overnight. Based on a 1997 Vanity Fair story by Marie Brenner, Eastwood had been working for years to bring the story of Richard Jewell to the […]

Chris Pine stars as Sam, […]

Blu-ray Review: Tron: Legacy
Disney / Buena Vista | 2010 | 127 mins. | PG Back in 1982, Tron was a film ahead of its time. However, when it was announced nearly thirty years later that a sequel was on the way, I wondered whether the whole thing would seem foolishly outdated. The original was somewhat confusing but had […]
