The perfect Father's Day gift: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, in stores on June 10th! #JackRyanBluRay


I reviewed Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit back in January, and it was a great action-packed film. The movie is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on June 10th, and it would make a fantastic gift for Father's Day. The film stars Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, and Kevin Costner, along with other A-listers, and it's a fast-paced thriller.


If your dad is a movie fan like mine is, you could pair Jack Ryan with a few other action movies and make a day out of it - no trip to the theater required!

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009 version) is another great roller-coaster ride of a thriller, and would be the perfect movie to watch before or after Jack Ryan.

If your father really loves action movies, why stop at two films - how about adding Inception and 3 Days to Kill to your "must watch" list? Inception continues to be one of my favorite action/sci-fi films, and 3 Days to Kill is similar to Jack Ryan in that it has a lot of things going on, and Kevin Costner is fantastic in it.


But of course, to get the party started, you're going to need to head to Walmart first - they're offering the Blu-ray release of Jack Ryan for only $12.96 (that's a bargain!) and it also includes $15 off sports tickets at Ticketmaster - another activity to do with your dad on Father's Day weekend, perhaps? Just make sure you head there sometime between 6/10 and 6/14, as this special offer is only valid for those dates. Two great movies and $15 off sports tickets, for one low price - that's an awesome deal.

And if you're a fan of fast cars (or the men that enjoy them!), you can pick up a Walmart Exclusive pack, which includes both Jack Ryan and The Italian Job for $19.96 - the list price for this two-pack is $49.98, so that's another great deal.

What do you and your father do on Father's Day? Do you have any traditions that you like?

    I may have to pick this up for my dad! This year he asked my sister & I to get him a tool he's been eye balling. We'll probably be doing a cookout at our house and hangout, it seems to be my dad's new favorite hobby LOL

    $12.96 for that Jack Ryan film is a steal at Walmart. I swear I will miss Harrison Ford in this movie (even if he couldn't have played the character!)

      Yes, it is - most Blu-rays these days are $25+. :)

    Love that the bonus tickets pays for the cost of the movie. That's huge!

    Can't wait to see this one. I think we'll watch it for a Father's Day movie night.

    My dad was more of a reader than a movie watcher - unless it was old black and white movies. That is a really good price though - BluRays are usually twice as expensive!

    Movies are a hit here at our house, when we can steal the TV back from the kiddos.

    I noticed a 10% Cartwheel deal for the Jack Ryan film as well (from Target). Gotta love Kiera Knightly!

So we've all been there ... that time when you're on an important phone call, and then the call drops. Or even when you need to use the internet on your smartphone, only to realize that you're at your data limit for the month.

I drive all over the metro Detroit area for movie screenings; because of this, most of the time I know where I'm going, but sometimes, I'm in an unfamiliar area or at an unfamiliar theater and I need GPS to know how to get there and back.


A few months ago, I was headed to the AMC Forum (Sterling Heights area) and I wanted to know the best way to get home from there. My phone kept stalling ... and stalling ... and then the Maps app crashed! Gah! I was extremely frustrated. I was finally able to re-start the phone and get safely home, but it TOOK. SO. LONG.

Movie Review: Escape Room (2019)

Image
I didn't have high hopes going in to Escape Room—I had determined beforehand that it was more of a thriller movie vs. a horror movie (I hate horror movies, and probably would have skipped it if that was the case). However, it ended up surprising me in a good way, and was actually a very entertaining film.

Five strangers each receive a jet black cube, and the five of them each figure out how to open the cube. The strangers couldn't be more different: there is Amanda (Deborah Ann Woll), who served in the armed forces; Zoey (Taylor Russell), a college student; Mike (Taylor Labine), a trucker; Ben (Logan Miller), a grocery clerk; Danny (Nik Dodani), a huge nerd who has done more than 90 escape rooms in the past; and Jason (Jay Ellis), a high-powered stockbroker. However, the five of them will need to work together to get out of this escape room—especially when they realize what the cost is when they don't.

The cast worked very well together in this movie, and odds are you won…
