The Code Is Zeek

Ghost In The Shell is the big release of the week and it will be interesting to see how it fares at the box office. Will there be an audience for this film? I'm honestly not sure, but I certainly had plenty to say about the controversy that has come with it. Also: Boss Baby . Moving on, plenty of new home releases this week, which I have some Blu-ray reviews for. A couple of great new podcasts to dig into. I even through in a couple of new trailers. Please enjoy!

Many will be inclined to go go and see Power Rangers this weekend and I can understand why. Curiosity is bound to get the better of many. The good news is that it's more entertaining than one would expect, especially when dealing with the teenagers with attitude.

A couple of new home releases are also here and I have accompanying reviews for those. And lastly, feel free to enjoy this week's very fun podcast!

I really enjoy putting my reviews together.  I honestly wish I could delve deeper into certain movies, but alas, I get incredibly busy and can sometimes only deal with movies to a briefer extent than I would prefer.  This is why I write these occasional "Brief Thoughts" posts on movies I have seen, as I want to at least offer some of my own perspective on them.  They may not be as polished, but I can at least get my opinions out there. This edition of "Brief Thoughts" features a review of The Belko Experiment, written by James Gunn and directed by Greg McLean. The Belko Experiment: 3 out of 5 It's pretty amazing to look at the career of James Gunn and take in the idea that he'll likely be responsible for one of 2017's most well-liked film by audiences of all ages. Before getting a massive amount of credit for his work on Guardians of the Galaxy , Gunn was making films like Super  and Slither . These are twisted pieces of work that balan...
