Now on 4K, Blu-Ray, DVD, & Digital – TOP GUN: MAVERICK I’m not kidding when I say that Top Gun: Maverick is still one of my favorite movies of the year. It’s one of those cinematic experiences that is still engrained in me. Director Joseph Kosinski and star Tom Cruise pulled out all the stops in making their sequel one for the ages. A high-flying spectacle void of blatant CGI and cheesy effects, as they relied on practical effects and stunt work to make the audience feel like they were right in cockpit with Maverick, Rooster, Hangman, and the rest of the characters. This wasRead More →

New on 4K UltraHD: POLTERGEIST, THE LOST BOYS Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has two ’80s classics now on 4K Ultra HD just in time for spooky season!
