5 stars (Exceptional)

2 stars (Good Try) Was expecting much more from a new Charlie Kaufman film, but this was surprisingly unsatisfying. A beautiful performance from Jennifer Jason Leigh as "Lisa", and the animation is very impressive – but somehow it's not enough.
Imitation Game, TheImitation Game, The (2014)Recommended

BoyhoodBoyhood (2014)Aro Favourite
1 star (Turkey) Hugely overrated.
DVD $25 $18.75

DVD $19.95 | Blu-Ray $19.95
