Borderlands (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)
By no means am I a video game afficionado. I can honestly say the last game I played was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on a PSII that I HAD to have. I had other games, but I only ever played this one. I wasn’t very good at the game and my attention span for gaming had never been the best. Despite my distaste for gaming, I still am easily aware of video games and Borderlands is a series of games that I know of. Don’t ask me anything about it though, but the title, I know for sure! All kidding aside, I was intrigued when Eli Roth’s film adaptation was announced. With a huge cast of recognizable talent and what seemed like a nice sized budget to make something big and fun for the spring, I was immediately ensconced when I saw the negative press and the abysmal box office returns. Read more about the film below and what happens to be a reference grade 4K Blu-ray!

I don’t know about you, but I really missed Wolverine. I missed that gruff, hard, yet lovable X-man! I was in tears when he met his fate at the end of Logan and thought that was that.

Now, arriving home with a lovely DOLBY VISION 4K UHD Blu-ray from Disney/Sony, I have been able to witness the chaotic wonder of the film. Read about that and more below and be sure to click whichever cover art you want at the end to get your copy today!
Nostalgia abounds when I watch movies from my childhood. The Addams Family and its sequel Addams Family Values are a lot of fun. Macabre and dark but still somehow light and comforting, the films work so well even 30+ years after their release. The 2021 4K release of the first Addams film was wonderful and then collectors waited to see when the second film would receive its inevitable release. Now just in time for Halloween we get it! Read more about the creepy, kooky, ooky family’s second adventure below and as always, the cover art is clickable and takes you to Amazon to get your own copy!

Depending on your tastes you either love or hate Eli Roth films. He’s made some that have held up well. Horror fans love Hostel. He’s also delivered a very underrated family film with The House With the Clock In Its Walls. There are some questionable movies there too. An unnecessary remake, Death Wish (I liked it but I know it’s not very good) and a recent video game adaptation, Borderlands, which for better or worse was an immediate failure. Before this, we got Thanksgiving, which was equal parts scary and funny and now celebrates it’s first year since release with a new 4K UHD Blu-ray, which comes in a great new steelbook! Fans will know all about the film, but for those new to it, read on below!
