Gifted
Allison Rose | 
Family drama usually makes for a good script and while Gifted is no exception, the cast is really what gives the movie its bite. If you like a good, heartfelt story, this is worth watching.

The Boss Baby
Allison Rose | 
Baldwin is perfect as the voice of the Boss Baby.  His deep vocal tones are authoritative and commanding, which make Boss Baby believable.  Kudrow and Kimmel have a soothing quality to their voices that make them great choices for the parents.

Atomic Blonde
Allison Rose | 
While I expected one of the plot twists in the film (making it somewhat predictable), I didn’t see a second one that blindsided me at the end of the film and made for a nice surprise.  Atomic Blonde had good flow and pacing and just the right amount of action so it didn’t go over the top.

Dunkirk
Allison Rose | 
Hans Zimmer’s score also added an additional element to the overall feel of Dunkirk and helped build the suspense and momentum throughout. The cinematography was exceptional with shots from above of a vast waterway and close up views of the beach, inside a ship, and the French shoreline.

Resident Evil: Vendetta
Allison Rose | 
Fans of Resident Evil who enjoy the video game will love being enveloped once again in the game through this latest release.  The action, graphics and story are good enough to be included in the franchise.  And if you include yourself in that grouping then you should definitely invest in the 4K version.

Buster's Mal Heart
Jennifer Broderick | 
Honestly my immediate first impression, I thought this was a strange movie but I stuck it out and was absolutely blown away by the storyline.  Buster was a caring character, one I became invested in because I wanted him to have his land, get away from his nasty and mean mother-in-law, and get a job on the day shift.

Free Fire
Jennifer Broderick | 
Free Fire is about 90 minutes, which is long enough to provide a cohesive storyline without making the audience glance at their watch.  The film is an entertaining light action flick to add to your collection.

Kong: Skull Island
Nathan M Rose | 
Hiddleston’s, Larson’s, Goodman’s, and castaway John C. Reilly’s (Wreck-It Ralph) performances help ground the film in our world while Jackson’s character’s  personal struggle with Kong echoes back to Captain Ahab and his “to-the-death” fight with the whale Moby Dick.

Song to Song
Allison Rose | 
Malick has a distinct eye and his visuals are unique and interesting....His knack for creating the electric sexual undercurrent throughout the film should be commended.  While we rarely see an actual lovemaking scene, the smallest of glances and touches ignite the screen.
