New to On Demand: Finding Dory

As an audience, we love to revisit characters that we have enjoyed in past films; we just hope that filmmakers don’t tarnish that love when making a sequel. In the new film Finding Dory, we not only get Dory, Nemo and Marlin, but we also get new characters like Hank the octopus and a pair of lazy sea lions named Fluke and Rudder to ensure that we leave feeling like the new film has a life of its own. Ellen DeGeneres returns as the voice of our favorite blue tang fish, Dory. We walk through Dory’s past, from her days […]

New to On Demand: Star Trek Beyond

Growing up in the era that I did, you were either a Star Trek or Star Wars person. I have to admit that I fell into the Star Wars camp more than I was a Trekkie. Since producer/director J.J. Abrams rebooted Star Trek in 2009, I’ve enjoyed both franchises. Now Justin Lin jumps in to helm Star Trek Beyond and his foot is planted square on the gas pedal from the moment the film blasts off. Capt. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) has something on his mind. He is questioning whether to continue in his role as captain of the […]
