The Following: The Complete Third Season
Sean Ferguson | Oct 19, 2015
The Following was a brilliant and addictive series! Season one will still be my favorite and from there it went a bit downhill….just not so dramatically until episode 40!

Allison Rose | Oct 19, 2015
For anyone who enjoyed the series and wants a little bit of holiday nostalgia, this paint can is a terrific way to relive it all. For the formidable collector, it would be a welcome addition and a perfect holiday gift.

American Horror Story: Freak Show
Nathan M Rose | Oct 15, 2015
Unfortunately American Horror Story: Freak Show deviated too much from the supernatural plot that had worked in past seasons, and had performances that were just too over-the-top for my taste.

Aladdin
Allison Rose | Oct 13, 2015
It’s difficult to find fault in any way with Aladdin and, as a fan, I say it is about time Disney released it again for everyone to enjoy.

Spy
Sean Ferguson | Oct 13, 2015
Spy is hysterical with things that go Boom! It’s rated R so don’t watch it with the kids (there’s a few naughty bits in there) and push it thru to the end to see a small clip that will crack you up!

San Andreas
Allison Rose | Oct 12, 2015
The destruction of large cities and the Hoover Dam are not easy to accomplish but the crew does it well enough, and the 1080p video and 5.1 high definition audio help to enhance those scenes beautifully.

The Gallows
Allison Rose | Oct 12, 2015
There is nothing redeeming about The Gallows and I question why it ever got made. I know it made a profit, which is, of course, the ultimate goal in movies; but it was unentertaining and moronic. Don’t waste your time or money.

Tomorrowland
Nathan M Rose | Oct 12, 2015
Tomorrowland has an upbeat message about society and is more in line of the type of film Walt Disney would have approved his company making.

Poltergeist
Nathan M Rose | Oct 11, 2015
Alas, Poltergeist ultimately fails at recreating the sheer terror and excitement of the original film and is just more cannon fodder in the “why are we making remakes” mindset.

The Leftovers: The Complete First Season
Sean Ferguson | Oct 08, 2015
I give "The Leftovers: Season 1" three out of five sharpie markers! It was four but you know how fast those markers dry out! The storylines are deep, and while sometimes PAINSTAKINGLY slow at pace, you’ll be compelled to come back for more, and maybe take up wearing white.
