Mazda is 100 years old? Who'd have thought! And they have a new, Centennial CX-5 edition that's very nice and lots of fun. Check out my review, now, at https://t.co/FI9h2Y7Vxx.

If you're a Lord of the Rings movie trilogy fan, you really owe it to yourself to check out the new 4K versions - all three films (theatrical and extended) in one spectacular package. Check out my review now at https://t.co/FI9h2Y7Vxx.

If you're an Eddie Murphy fan, four of his earliest and best films are out in new disc packages, some 4K and some only 1080p. They should all be in 4K, but are watchable anyway. Check out my review now, at https://t.co/FI9h2Y7Vxx.

A classic romantic comedy - Roman Holiday - has been restored beautifully for its Blu-ray release – but isn't available in the 4K disc format for some bizarre reason.
Still, it's well worth your time! Check out my review now at https://t.co/FI9h2Y7Vxx.

The Camry can be fun? Who knew? Yet the 2020 Camry, especially in its new TRD trim, adds a kind of fun to the Camry experience that may have been in short supply before. Check out my review at https://t.co/FI9h2Y7Vxx.

Toyota's Highlander is all-new for 2020 and while it may not be the most interesting vehicle to drive, it's certainly a great place to be. Check out my review of the hybrid version now, at https://t.co/FI9h2Y7Vxx.

A couple of great Best Picture-winners premier on 4K disc this week, and they're both excellent examples of the 4K beast. Check out my review of Gladiator and Braveheart now, at https://t.co/FI9h2Y7Vxx.

The Toyota Tacoma is a powerful off road statement, and in its TRD big boy pants it can be even more robust. Check out my review of this popular mid-size truck now, at https://t.co/8yB8zwKxzZ.

Twitter has some competition that's promising to welcome - rather than fake fact check - conservative voices. Check out my preview of Parler now, at https://t.co/8yB8zwKxzZ.

[Jim Bray, TechnoFile @jimbray1]

The new Invisible Man movie is a transparently female-focused tale that's more slasher movie than invisible person story. But it's worth seeing, even though the 4K disc is a tad disappointing. Check out my full review now, at https://t.co/8yB8zwKxzZ.

[Jim Bray, TechnoFile @jimbray1]

Paramount Pictures has just released three "classic" Tom Cruise movies on 4K disc. They're all worth having, but Days of Thunder doesn't reach the level of Top Gun and War of the Worlds, though all look and sound great.
Check out my column on them, at https://t.co/8yB8zx28Yz.

Want to pretend to drive in these ending days of our free trial of life under unvarnished socialism? Check out my review of "Overdrive City," a kind of neat sim game that "kind of" is a cross between SimCity and Gran Turismo. Kind of. Now, at https://t.co/8yB8zx28Yz.
