Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning 4K Ultra HD Review

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning might not be the grand or great send-off to this long-running franchise and while I certainly can admire the stunt work and Tom Cruise’s commitment, but the story was stretched thin.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One 4K Ultra HD Review

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One might not be the strongest in the long-running franchise with a story that’s obviously only half told. Still, the action sequences were excellent as always and even though it is well over 2.5 hours, there’s never  a dull moment and is entertaining from start to finish.

First Man 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review

First Man might not be the best movie about space exploration around but it is still a well made drama from Damien Chazelle in a solid follow-up to his Academy Award winning music-drama, La La Land. Ryan Gosling gives a nice, if not quiet, performance.

Review: Kong: Skull Island 4K/BD + Screen Caps

Kong: Skull Island isn’t perfect but still fun and entertaining enough with director Vogt-Roberts intermixing monster movie with a Vietnam-era war picture and even the human characters weren’t bad, if not thinly written at times while Kong himself does show a bit of personality and his CGI was pretty good.

Review: Term Life BD + Screen Caps

Term Life for sure is not a good movie but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was at least moderately entertained. At only 90-minutes long, it’s a decent enough time-waster but that’s about the extent of it for a movie that will easily be lost in the shuffle of the numerous STV releases.
