Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Allison Rose | Mar 27, 2017
While all eight films are out on Blu-ray, the last four come to 4K Blu-ray this week and promise to be worth the asking price. The content hasn’t changed but the quality is just a little higher standard.

20th Century Women

Part of why this script works is the cast. They work so well together that the dialogue makes sense and the scenes feel as intimate as they should.

The Smurfs
Allison Rose | Mar 27, 2017
For those, like me, who remember the cartoon, this movie is a pleasant stroll down memory lane. The Smurfs are well animated with special attention given to details.

Power Rangers
Allison Rose | Mar 23, 2017
People who were kids of the 90s will rush to the theater for the nostalgia of one of their favorite television shows...for many others who didn’t grow up with it, it has no sense of connection to them.

Assassins Creed
Allison Rose | Mar 21, 2017
With a terrific cast full of Oscar nominees and winners, I had pretty high expectations...Fassbender is pretty tough as Cal...Irons always makes for a convincing bad guy.
