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

Allison Rose | Mar 27, 2017

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.

While this CHiPs in nothing like the television show it is a fun, good time. The stars, action and even the plot keep the audience interested and entertained.

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.

Live By Night

Ben Affleck has a knack for picking talent and Live By Night is no exception.

Sing

Allison Rose | Mar 20, 2017

Sing reminds of why Illumination Studios is one of the best in the field, giving Disney and Pixar a run for their money.

The Complete First Season

Jennifer Broderick | Mar 20, 2017

Insecure Season One is smart and relevant and entertaining enough, especially if you fall into that millennial demographic to which the show is aimed.
