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.

Sicario

Nathan M Rose | Oct 01, 2015

Not since Steven Soderbergh's Traffic has their been a film quite like Sicario.

The Intern

Allison Rose | Sep 24, 2015

The Intern certainly isn’t going to win any major awards, but it is a light hearted, fun look at retirement and the generation gap.

Black Mass

Allison Rose | Sep 17, 2015

Black Mass isn’t a docudrama, nor is it a “gangster” film; and, as a straightforward drama it just isn’t all that strong.

Legend

Paul Kates | Sep 13, 2015

For me, after a year that promised so much and has given so little, it’s refreshing to walk out after seeing a movie and wanting to see it again. Legend is the best film I’ve seen this year.

The Visit

Allison Rose | Sep 10, 2015

For those looking for a jump out of your seat, wet your pants, scary, gory slasher film, The Visit isn’t it. It is more psychological in nature and what I would classify as a thinking man’s horror thriller.

We Are Your Friends

Allison Rose | Aug 26, 2015

Entertaining as it is, and with some good acting thrown in, I think We Are Your Friends misses the mark in some aspects and won’t be a blockbuster in theaters.

No Escape

Nathan M Rose | Aug 25, 2015

In every sense, the word 'thriller' has never been more accurate to describe a film.

American Ultra

Allison Rose | Aug 20, 2015

American Ultra couldn’t decide if it was a serious spy movie or a parody of a spy movie, which confused the audience and left each individual trying to figure out what the purpose of the movie was.

Hitman: Agent 47

Nathan M Rose | Aug 20, 2015

When Hitman: Agent 47 fails at the box office, one could, and will, argue the case that Hitman: Agent 47 didn’t fair well because R rated films have fallen out of fair with audience. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Hitman: Agent 47 failed because of a weak script created by a studio hack that has a track record of horrible films.
