The Lost City of Z

Allison Rose | Jul 10, 2017

Charlie Hunnam is very good as Fawcett playing him with a calm demeanor and not the obsessive, goal driven human one might think he might have been in real life.

Léon: The Professional

Allison Rose | Jul 10, 2017

Besson’s voice is definitely unique and distinct in everything he writes and directs. His decidedly French influence is obvious in everything from angles and costumes to the music chosen for his films’ soundtracks. Leon: The Professional is no different, which is part of what makes it such a classic movie loved by audiences around the world.

Fate of The Furious

Nathan M Rose | Jul 10, 2017

People critical that the series should have ended with number seven will be pleasantly surprised by this film. Fate of the Furious is great fun throughout the entire movie. It gives audiences all the thrills and stunts they are looking for in a Fast and Furious film and keeps pushing the boundaries of what you can do with cars (and physics).

The Fifth Element

Nathan M Rose | Jul 10, 2017

To-date, The Fifth Element, is hands down Luc Besson’s most accomplished film. The story is extremely compelling and interesting, the cast blends perfectly with the amazing sets and action, and even though it had a mixed reception when it opened in 1997 it has come to be loved the world over.

Smurfs: The Lost Village

Nathan M Rose | Jul 10, 2017

The Dolby Atmos track is truly where Smurfs: The Lost Village shines. Audio moves effortlessly from one speaker to another and travels throughout the room. It really feels like you are transported into the audio-visual space of the Smurfs.

Their Finest

Allison Rose | Jul 09, 2017

The cast is one of the gems of Their Finest. Arterton combines an inner strength with an outward vulnerability and naiveté to create the perfect Catrin. She is sweet and mild but possesses a fire hidden underneath the surface that she doesn’t even realize she has.

The Big Sick

Allison Rose | Jul 07, 2017

The sincerity of the tale and the unexpected success of Nanjiani as the male lead make The Big Sick tantalizing and infectiously (pun intended) appealing. In a world full of explosions and car chases, this movie offers something different and executes it nicely.

Absolutely Anything

Allison Rose | Jul 05, 2017

With a terrific cast and one of the Monty Python writers penning the script for Absolutely Anything, I had hopes for something really fun. Unfortunately, I got mildly entertaining fare for an hour and a half.

The Belko Experiment

Nathan M Rose | Jul 05, 2017

While The Belko Experiment will never be anything more than a cult classic film it provides a nice escape for its runtime of 88 minutes. James Gunn and director Greg McLean have created a fun film that anyone who works in the corporate world should see at least once in their life.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Allison Rose | Jun 29, 2017

With the young cast Spider-Man: Homecoming, it is certainly geared to appeal to a tween/teen audience... Perhaps Marvel is finally trying to lighten things up a bit and if so, this was a good start and paves the way to an already announced sequel.
