The Hateful Eight

Allison Rose | Dec 21, 2015

I can’t decide if Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) is incredibly brilliant or deeply disturbed; probably some combination of both.

The Big Short

Judith Raymer | Dec 21, 2015

Educational and enlightening would be an apt description were it not hidden beneath a highly entertaining, and darkly comedic film.

Sisters

Allison Rose | Dec 18, 2015

From driving techno beats to old school ‘80s songs, the music is a great-added element and helps get the audience in a party mood.

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

Nathan M Rose | Dec 16, 2015

Gone are most of the childish elements that made fans of the original trilogy cringe, and in it’s place, is dialog and scenes that are there to help move the story along.

In The Heart of The Sea

Allison Rose | Dec 10, 2015

The one thing I actually took away from this film was how hard it was to be a whaler, working hard for years at a time, under less than ideal conditions.

The Good Dinosaur

Allison Rose | Nov 25, 2015

If you are one of those adults looking to take the children in your life to a movie, this one isn’t a bad choice, but don’t be surprised when you walk away with the feeling of Déjà vu.

Creed

Allison Rose | Nov 24, 2015

Lets face it, had this movie been made without Stallone, it would have been a completely different film and not nearly as good. Rocky had to be included in the next chapter of this saga or it would have been a cheap knock off of an iconic franchise.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2

Allison Rose | Nov 19, 2015

For the last in a series, it could have been better but it could have been worse too. Of the four films, it wasn’t my favorite but it certainly was better than Mocking jay Part I.

Spectre

Paul Kates | Nov 05, 2015

Although Skyfall was always going to be a tough act to follow, Spectre does manage to hold its own, and it seems to tie in the previous three films that feature Daniel Craig nicely.

Room

Allison Rose | Oct 30, 2015

Room is a brilliant and poignant piece of film making, the movie is thought provoking and relevant. Practically borrowing from recent years headlines, the story reminds us to keep our kids close and treasure every moment we have with them.
