The Fugitive (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

When July of this past year went by and we had no 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray to celebrate one of the finest blockbusters ever made, I lost hope on getting a pristine copy of The Fugitive. To my relief, we had to wait for it to be a holiday season item. Coming on November 21st, the […]

The Matrix (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Prior to this review, I don’t have any history with the Eddie And The Cruisers duology.  I know the first film was a $5.99 – $9.99 bargain bin/sale rack staple back when it was on DVD.  It was a about a band, but other than that I was clueless.  There was also the surprise that […]
