Hotel Mumbai

Alyn Darnay | Mar 28, 2019

Hotel Mumbai is one of those films that will stay with you long after you leave the theater. It’s the type of skillfully made thriller that only comes around once in a while. Don’t miss it.

Dumbo

Allison Rose | Mar 27, 2019

Burton deserves credit for making this film not nearly as dark as many of his other features and the vibrant colors of the circus are definitely a departure from his usual darker tones.

Aquaman

If you are a Momoa or DC comics fan you will be pleased to know that this Aquaman is a quality version and won’t disappoint even the most skeptical amongst us.

Shazam!

Allison Rose | Mar 23, 2019

Shazam! Is humorous, heartwarming, and lighthearted...Unless you are coldhearted, you will most likely walk out of the theater with a smile on your face after enjoying a few laughs.

Us is certainly one of the smarter horror/thriller movies that have come about in the past several years (besides Get Out) and Peele knows how to terrify us without gore or crazy jump scares.

Lord of War

Leonard Buccellato | Mar 19, 2019

Lord of War, is a surprising morality tale of Evil vs. Evil where good seems to have been pushed to the side.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

Maureen Buccellato | Mar 19, 2019

Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse is an amazing piece of art and is, to-date, the best rendition of Spider-man that has ever been animated.

Mary Poppins Returns

Allison Rose | Mar 18, 2019

Mary Poppins Returns can’t compare to the original but it has elaborate musical numbers, a solid story, and a well-rounded cast.

Ruben Brandt, Collector

Allison Rose | Mar 15, 2019

Even if you don’t know the names of every painting flashing across the screen you are aware that you are witnessing masterpieces from almost the first frame.

To Dust

Allison Rose | Mar 14, 2019

While the subject matter can be bleak and depressing Snyder veers away from the stereotypical view of mourning and instead offers a different perspective on the whole concept of death.
