Murder on the Orient Express UHD Review
Branagh brings a real energy and lush flavor to his adaptation of one of author Agatha Christie’s most treasured stories. A dazzling production with a terrific, if under-exploited cast, the film is wonderfully staged.

A few words about…™ Jurassic Park – 25th Anniversary Collection — in 4k UHD Blu-ray
This one is simple. The first four Jurassic Park productions (1993 – 2015), are included in Universal’s new 4k boxed set, and the difference between the last Blu-ray releases, and the new 4k is astounding. Probably best described as a veil having been lifted. While the Blu-rays are all quality […]
