The Greatest Showman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/20/2017 2:10 PM EST
Some would say Phineas T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman; Logan) was a dreamer. Others would say he was a businessman. Yet, some would argue he was both and some would say he scammed people. The truth is probably a little of each but there is no denying he was one of the greatest showmen on Earth. He gained wealth entertaining people but not... Read More

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/20/2017 8:55 AM EST
It has been twenty-two years since the original Jumanji film starring Robin Williams graced the silver screen. A lot has changed in that time - grunge music is out, pop music is in, mobile phones are no longer a luxury, but a necessity and board games are no longer the preferred form of entertainment. Video games have taken over and to that end, Co... Read More

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Ever since Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out in 2015, audiences have been on pins and needles waiting for the next installment in the Star Wars saga and, aside from a few minor issues, fans will not be disappointed.While the plot has mainly been shrouded in secrecy (and this review will try to continue with that so as to let...

The Post

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2017 11:39 AM EST
The Washington Post was pretty much a local paper until it blew the roof off the White House when it reported on the Watergate scandal in 1973. However, it also made a name for itself as an investigative journalistic newspaper a few years earlier when it followed up on a New York Times story about the Vietnam War and published ... Read More

Roman J. Israel, Esq.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/22/2017 12:36 PM EST
Not everyone is good in a social situation. Some people can be awkward which makes others feel uncomfortable causing them to treat the social outcast poorly. Many think those awkward individuals are stupid but they can be very smart and even downright brilliant. Some of them may be on the Autism spectrum or known previously as an ... Read More

Coco

(Judith Raymer) 11/21/2017 9:53 AM EST
Directed by Lee Unkrich (Finding Nemo; Monster's Inc.) and Adrian Molina (The Good Dinosaur; Ratatouille), Coco is the latest magic from Disney/Pixar to hit the screen. Coco doesn't just meet then exceed expectations. It excels in every aspect. The story of Coco began five years before it would grace the big screen. ... Read More

Justice League

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/15/2017 4:58 PM EST
As the battle rages on between Marvel and DC Comics for domination of the box office, DC is releasing their latest entry, Justice League, just in time for the Thanksgiving season. Based on the popular comic book series, these superheroes form an alliance to battle evil forces. The Justice League first appeared in DC comics in March of 1... Read More

Last Flag Flying

() 11/15/2017 3:06 PM EST
Take a terrific script, a heart-wrenching story peppered with some humor, three Academy Award-nominated actors and mix them all together. What you get is the recipe for a great film about an uncomfortable subject matter told in a sensitive manner. Such is the tale of Director/writer Richard Linklater's (Before Sunset) new movie, Last Fla... Read More

Thor: Ragnarok

(Judith Raymer) 11/2/2017 8:29 AM EST
Where to begin?!? Where to begin! I suppose with ALERT: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS! Now then… While a fan of Marvel, its Cinematic Universe, and Thor in all film appearances (& beyond, er, before…), the Thor films have not been among my favorites. That is until now. Directed by Taika Waititi (What We Do in the ... Read More

A Bad Moms Christmas

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/1/2017 9:03 AM EST
Last year, Mila Kunis (That 70's Show), Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), and Kathryn Hahn (Transparent) made moms everywhere feel a little better about themselves and had us all laughing in the theater at Bad Moms. As Amy, Kiki and Carla respectively, they gave us moms permission to be less than perfect. Now that we are about to hit holiday... Read More
