2 Broke Girls: The Complete Fourth Season
Allison Rose | Aug 14, 2015
2 Broke Girls was originally panned by critics in season one, the show has managed to survive, won two People’s Choice Awards, and garnered a following that has warranted a fifth season starting this Fall on CBS.

Straight Outta Compton
Allison Rose | Aug 13, 2015
The two hour and thirty minute running time is long and there were definitely scenes that could have been made shorter or cut out all together. However, Straight Outta Compton definitely is worth seeing, even if you can’t relate to rap music.

Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Nathan M Rose | Aug 13, 2015
Man From U.N.C.L.E. marks the first time Guy Ritchie has directed since 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and he has not skipped a beat.

Far From the Madding Crowd
Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2015
While the story itself isn’t all that exciting, this version is well acted and directed and overall has an excellent quality that makes it worth seeing.

Hot Pursuit
Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2015
Sadly, Hot Pursuit completely missed the mark by not utilizing these two talented ladies. I‘m not sure what they saw in this film when they read the script, but, it isn’t funny, interesting or original.

Home
Sean Ferguson | Aug 07, 2015
I give DreamWorks’s “Home” 3 Slushy flavors out of 5. …of course Busta Lime is my fav! It’s fun, entertaining, has a great soundtrack, and is quite informative on the dangers of unique passwords!

Fantastic Four
Nathan M Rose | Aug 06, 2015
Simply stated, Fantastic Four is the best comic book movie of 2015. In a year that brought us very dull offerings from the Marvel/Disney cinematic universe, this little movie puts energy back into the over saturated superhero genre.

Insurgent
Allison Rose | Aug 04, 2015
The four hours worth of extras are the real addition that makes owning this movie even slightly worthwhile. If you are a fan who wants to have the complete set...go out and buy it, but otherwise, it is one that doesn’t really need to.

The Casual Vacancy
Allison Rose | Aug 03, 2015
Never judge a book by its cover. That is one of the lessons of The Casual Vacancy, the J.K Rowling book adaptation that was a three hour miniseries on BBC and HBO.

The End of The Tour
Allison Rose | Jul 31, 2015
Jason Segel is brilliant as Wallace, a highly intelligent individual who, like many tortured writers, battled addiction and depression. He plays Wallace with such depth and intensity that you can see the wheels turning in Wallace’s brain.
