The Complete Second Season

Sean Ferguson | Aug 22, 2016

What makes Gotham so great is it’s writing and how well they are able to create in-depth storylines with so many characters.

Ben-Hur

Judith Raymer | Aug 18, 2016

Then, there are the action scenes. Intense. At times, gruesomely violent almost to the point of caricature, but Timur Bekmambetov pulls back just in time.

War Dogs

Allison Rose | Aug 17, 2016

Director Todd Phillips graduates from schtick comedy to more serious subject matter with this film but still manages to interject moments of “slapstick” that remind you of his previous success.

Supergirl Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Complete First Season

Sean Ferguson | Aug 16, 2016

DC may have found their strong point in television verses Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. The CW is telling the DC storylines, in great depth, on a weekly basis.

11.22.63

Allison Rose | Aug 16, 2016

The premise of 11.22.63 is great and interesting, and while the material is too long for a feature film, it is too short for an 8-hour mini-series.

Sausage Party

Allison Rose | Aug 12, 2016

I dub Sausage Party “The soft porn of the animated food industry”.

Full Review | Grade: B

Pete's Dragon

Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2016

Pete's Dragon itself is dark, depressing and not suitable for its intended audience –families with young children.

Full Review | Grade: D

Hell or High Water

Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2016

I’m not sure Jeff Bridges makes a bad film anymore, but if he does, he is usually the bright spot. True to form, he plays his character well.

Florence Foster Jenkins

Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2016

Simon Helberg is masterful at displaying emotion without saying a word and stands toe to toe with these screen giants in every scene.

Full Review | Grade: B

Batman: The Killing Joke

Sean Ferguson | Aug 09, 2016

I give “Batman: The Killing Joke” one and a half stars SOLELY for the vocal talent, Mark Hamill’s singing number and the background artists, who without them, the movie would be an even bigger disappointment!
