The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Allison Rose | Jul 27, 2015

I know the saying is “third time’s a charm”, but, for Fox Searchlight, it seems to be the second go around is charming, or at least just as charming, as the first.

The Longest Ride

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

The Longest Ride is about love and passion, as well as dedication and sacrifice. However, at the end of the day, it is still a Nicholas Sparks’ film and you pretty much get what you expect.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

X-Men: Days of Future Past (The Rogue Cut)

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

I have a great idea for a new drinking game. Every time you spot a difference from the original X-Men: Days of Future Past to the new Rogue cut, take a shot! With 30 more minutes of footage you will surely be drunk!

The Strain Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Strain: Season 1 - The Premium Collector’s Edition

Nathan M Rose | Jun 30, 2015

Nowadays, vampire television, films and series are a dime a dozen; but, when someone like director Guillermo del Toro puts his name on something, it causes one to pause and pay attention. Such is the case with The Strain.

Get Hard

Allison Rose | Jun 30, 2015

I don’t think Will Ferrell (Elf, Anchorman) is funny. Yes, I said it…he isn’t funny. I know I’m opening myself up for lots of hate mail with that statement but in my defense I give you exhibit A – Get Hard (coming to Blu-ray and DVD June 30, 2015).

Run All Night

Nathan M Rose | Jun 16, 2015

While Run All Night is not in the same league as some of Liam Neeson’s other action films (Taken, Non-Stop), it is a very gripping and engaging story.

McFarland, USA

Allison Rose | Jun 10, 2015

If you want to watch fiction based on truth, and have a few hours, I suggest sitting down with some popcorn and giving McFarland a go.

The Duff

Allison Rose | Jun 09, 2015

While The Duff will never be as iconic as Clueless, Mean Girls, or The Breakfast Club, it is a solid effort into the continuing genre of high school angst films.

Jupiter Ascending

Nathan M Rose | Jun 02, 2015

While Jupiter Ascending shows small moments of brilliance throughout its 125 minute run-time, it isn’t enough to pull this mess out of the black hole of bad science fiction space opera films that should never had been made.
