Jem and the Holograms

Allison Rose | Oct 22, 2015

I can't, in good conscience, recommend this movie to anyone other than soccer moms who are looking to have a mommy/daughter “date” with their little girl before she hits teenagedom

Steve Jobs

Paul Kates | Oct 22, 2015

To label a film biopic can sometimes be a little misleading. There is always a case for artistic license to emphasis part of the production, and this may be the case of Danny Boyle's (Trainspotting, Trance) latest offering, Steve Jobs.

Back In Time

Allison Rose | Oct 20, 2015

Everything old is new again, so it seems. Clinton and Bush are running for President, everyone is waiting for the release of Star Wars, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is starring in Terminator. People are going crazy for nostalgia and the buzz this month is all about Back To The Future.

Goosebumps

Allison Rose | Oct 16, 2015

While it’s interesting to see how the writers incorporated so many of Stein’s characters into one film, the overall plot of the movie leaves something to be desired. The story is simple and void of much detail, but since the target audience is under the age of 16, simple is probably better in this case.

Bridge of Spies

Allison Rose | Oct 15, 2015

For children of the 50’s, Bridge of Spies will be a nostalgic look back at a time when the world was a very different place. For those of us from younger generations, it will be an interesting view of world events from when communism overran half of Germany.

Pan

Paul Kates | Oct 08, 2015

Geared for pre-teens, Pan should be fairly well received by those it is aimed at. Others may walk away feeling a little bit deflated.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Allison Rose | Oct 02, 2015

Sadly Avengers: Age of Ultron doesn’t live up to the original film, but for Marvel fans it is a solid effort with some good action sequences. Watching it in Digital HD is a treat and I recommend it for any Avengers fan.

The Martian

Paul Kates | Oct 01, 2015

The bottom line is The Martian is a hugely entertaining movie and although it has a running time of 141 minutes it really does not seem that long when you are immersed in it.
