Superhero movies have oversaturated the industry with formula seemingly being followed without variation, but James Gunn made a fantastic movie that made it fun again to watch a movie with superheroes. Every actor/actress shines in this surprisingly emotional film. Guardians has great humor interspersed with powerful drama. This movie is pure fun.

Great understated performance from Sylvester Stallone in the first and best of the Rambo movies. This film makes you really feel for Vietnam Vet John Rambo. The film is about more than just the great action and suspense it contains.

Collateral is an exciting movie with good performances from Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. Cruise is cool and smart as a hitman utilizing the cab and unassuming nature of Foxx's character to complete a job in one night. It is enjoyable to watch their characters interact in this cool, thrilling action movie.

This blu-ray did not disappoint. Gladiator is a great film. The story is focused and always moves forward with our strong hero's journey in mind. Russell Crowe is excellent as Maximus, a tough, honorable man born to be a leader. Joaquin Phoenix is also great as the antagonist of the story. This film has great action and includes a rewarding finale.

This movie was very entertaining. A friend with no interest at all in this movie, who also dislikes Tom Cruise, ended up loving Edge of Tomorrow. The movie has an interesting story, great action, surprising amount of comedy, and a likeable tough female character played by Emily Blunt. Give Edge of Tomorrow, one of the best movies of the summer, a chance and you will not be disappointed.
This thrilling release from the espionage series The Americans includes all 13 episodes of the show's first season, following the ongoing story of two Soviet spies sent into the United States under deep cover during the 1980's, taking on various alternate identities as U.S. nationals in the name of serving Mother Russia.

Every main actor delivers a strong performance. Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are great as a married couple and undercover KGB spies. Margo Martindale delivers in many great scenes just as she did in another FX series, Justified. Every episode is enjoyable and pulls in the audience; however, there were a few story points/characters that felt rushed.
The blu-ray version was very good. No noticeable problems regarding picture/sound. Special features were interesting enough if you enjoy behind-the-scenes information.
The first season of The Americans was just as enjoyable for me as the first two seasons of Justified.
