My Sister Eileen is a cute and fun 1950s-era comedy-musical with many of the tropes you would expect from the era, and all of it enjoyable thanks to three wonderful performances by Janet Leigh, Betty Garrett and Jack Lemmon.

The Rake DVD Review
The Rake is your run-of-the-mill and frankly forgettable indie horror film with some shoddy effects, substandard performances and a stale script. Nothing all that noteworthy and likely will end up as a $5 bargain bin title.
Jack Reacher 4K Ultra HD Review + BD Screen Caps
Jack Reacher is a well made suspense-thriller featuring a great performance from producer/star Tom Cruise and his supporting cast members. However, while the story starts off with incredible tension the ultimate motives by the villain came off as weak. Even so, this is an entertaining movie with great stunts and action scenes.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation 4K Ultra HD Review + BD Screen Caps
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is another successful entry into the long-running franchise. There are some fun nods to the original series and previous films, yet makes a mark in its own right. Tom Cruise once again is incredible with his stunt work and the villain this time around was at least devious enough.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol 4K Ultra HD Review + BD Screen Caps
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is easily the best of the series with the original and third movie after it. The action is intense, the suspense well done and the comedy is right on the money without going over-the-top. Although Tom Cruise deserves a fair amount of credit, I’m giving some of the film’s success to live action newcomer Brad Bird bringing his expertise that has made Pixar so successful into a new world.

Mission: Impossible III 4K Ultra HD Review + BD Screen Caps
Mission: Impossible III is a nice change-up from the lame sequel with a better emotional core for Ethan Hunt as a character and Cruise seemed far more at ease in the role compared to M:I-2.

Mission: Impossible II 4K Ultra HD Review + BD Screen Caps
Mission: Impossible II is easily my least favorite of the five movies in the series, not due to any technical issues, but Woo’s style did not fit in with the core feeling of a Mission: Impossible, not to mention Tom Cruise, as great and deadicated of an actor as he is, looked ridiculous performing kung-fu moves.

Mission: Impossible 4K Ultra HD Review + BD Screen Caps
Mission: Impossible may be dated in terms of the technology used and some of the dialogue was clunky in order to set up some of the story, but I still was entertained by this first outing of what would become a long-running franchise with Cruise the perfect actor to steer it.

Terminal Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Terminal had plenty of potential with a respectable cast headed by Margot Robbie who turns in another insane performance along the lines of Harley Quinn, sadly the story wasn’t up to snuff and it had a very artificial cool factor that didn’t work.
Sherlock Gnomes Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Sherlock Gnomes wasn’t awful or anything but between a limited gnome-world and humor that rarely, if ever, landed, it was a bit of a chore to sit through especially when it sounded like the actors couldn’t give two rips either.

Spinning Man Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Spinning Man, while imperfect, does at least try something new to the sometimes tired crime-thriller genre, taking viewers away from the investigation aspects and looking into the lives, and particularly mind, of a prime suspect and his devolution.

Thoroughbreds Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Thoroughbreds is one of the more unsettling movies I’ve seen in some time featuring two tremendous performances from what should be the next generation of talented actors in Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy.

Acrimony Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
Acrimony is hardly terrible but it’s also par for the course of a Tyler Perry film. The talents of the lovely Taraji P. Henson are utterly wasted as she doesn’t get to show anything other than hostility considering any nice moments of the character went to the younger version.
The Midnight Man Blu-ray Review + Screen Caps
The Midnight Man is just another in a long line of indie horror with a half-baked story, cardboard cutout characters and average performances even by the more experienced actors like Robert Englund and Lin Shaye. Skip this turkey.

Pacific Rim: Uprising 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review + BD Screen Caps
Pacific Rim: Uprising is a visually impressive but vapidly empty sci-fi action-er with mostly paper-thin characters, though they try giving Boyega more to work with, but I’m kind of over destruction porn and the third act takes it up a notch and an ending that sequel-baits.
