A graduate of The George Washington University and Nova Southeastern Law School Jennifer Fischer Broderick’s fascination with the movie world started when she first saw Snow White on the big screen as a young child. When the producers of the movie Annie held auditions in NYC, Jennifer stood on line in the cold to try out for a part and actually made it past the first few try-outs. A vivacious reader, she is fascinated watching books and stories brought to life on the big screen. Jennifer has passed her love of movies onto her children and they are often found planning their weekends around opening premieres.

Dunkirk
Dec 18, 2017
Dunkirk is a great cinematographic film. The impact of the actual historical event at Dunkirk is finely produced and theatrically impactful. Nolan took Dunkirk to a new level, emphasizing the actions of many over the actions of a few. Well played, Director Nolan, well played.

Game of Thrones: The Complete Seventh Season
Dec 12, 2017
Game of Thrones is an unequivocally amazing series. Season Seven, even though it is only seven episodes, does not disappoint fans. The entire season continues to enthrall and captivate the audience. This season gets the same rating, 5/5, but I wish I could award more.

Nov 28, 2017
Several versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets have been released in the past - DVD, Blu-ray, extended version - but none so much detailed and brilliant as the 4K UHD version.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Nov 27, 2017
J.K. Rowling chose well in her partnership with Warner Bros. in bringing the Harry Potter book series to life. The Goblet of Fire really shows the differences in the characteristics of the different Hogwarts houses but also shows how no matter what house you are in, you will find friends in every corner.

Cars 3

Cars 3 is enjoyable by all ages, and when it’s over, you’ll look at the time and wonder how a movie could go by so fast. Disney-Pixar definitely knows how to make a family-friendly movie, loved by all members of the household.

Spider-Man: Homecoming
Oct 16, 2017
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a new spin on the Spider-Man story and one that needed to be told. While it took a bit to process that we wouldn’t see some of the traditional elements of the original story in this version, the writers and directors did an amazing job re-creating Spider-man for the Millennial generation.

Reign: The Complete Fourth Season
Oct 10, 2017
Even though there is a lot of wonderful embellishment in the series, for a generation whose only reality is technology and the dystopian future world, Reign will give them a sense of history – with enough intrigue that maybe- just maybe- we can make some of the tech babies of the Millennial generation interested in history.
