The Nun

Leonard Buccellato | Dec 03, 2018

The Nun takes a truly scary horror character and leaves us wanting more from her. Let’s say a few “Hail Mary’s” and hope our prayers are answered for a terrifying sequel.

Dog Days

Allison Rose | Nov 30, 2018

While Dog Days revolves around the dogs and how they bring lives together, they aren’t the main focus. The relationships between the humans are the story here. The point the movie does make though is how these pets enrich our lives.

Crazy Rich Asians

Maureen Buccellato | Nov 20, 2018

As the first all Asia cast in twenty-five years, this Crazy Rich Asians has historical significance while it entertains and from beginning to end, this film did not disappoint!

Scrooged 30th Anniversary Edition

Allison Rose | Nov 20, 2018

As Christmas time is full of traditions, I say buy Scrooged and make a new tradition of watching it every year with your loved ones around you. It won’t disappoint and will remind you all if what is important in life and not to squander any opportunity to embrace love and family.

Ralph Breaks The Internet

Allison Rose | Nov 19, 2018

As sequels go this one hits the mark. It is enjoyable and entertaining and offers TONS of Easter eggs for the audience to dissect. The Disney team did a wonderful job visualizing what the internet might look like from the inside.

Mile 22

Leonard Buccellato | Nov 19, 2018

If you are looking for solidly acted, and a polished looking, action thriller, Mile 22 should satisfy; besides it's always fun to watch some knuckles get bloodied, and shiny things go boom!

Blindspotting

Allison Rose | Nov 19, 2018

Blindspotting is enjoyable and entertaining while offering a sober look at some of the things facing our young, black male population, especially in urban settings. Serious moments peppered with humor and fun keep this film from being too bogged down.

Instant Family

Allison Rose | Nov 18, 2018

Instant Family is a feel-good film during the holiday season and one that should be seen by everyone as it might just start a much-needed dialogue.

Full Review | Grade: B

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Allison Rose | Nov 15, 2018

While the magical aspects and visuals are appealing, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is clunky and awkward. Fans of the Potter Universe will no doubt go to see it but shouldn’t expect it to be as inviting as the first film.

Full Review | Grade: C

A Private War

Allison Rose | Nov 14, 2018

A Private War is haunting but does the life of Marie Colvin justice. It couldn’t have been easy but it was an important life and the film pays homage to the brilliant woman behind the faces of wars and conflicts all over the world.
