Finding Dory

Allison Rose | Jun 16, 2016

Finding Dory is obviously one of this summer’s animated blockbusters and Disney/Pixar are counting on our love of the original film to draw audiences to the movie. Luckily, the film has the quality to make people want to see it.

The Martian Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Martian: Extended Edition

Allison Rose | Jun 15, 2016

The real gem of the latest (The Martian) Blu-ray edition comes in the extras. The added feature is a Q&A with NASA scientists, Writer Andy Weir, Director Ridley Scott, and various other members of the space exploration community, including Bill Nye.

London Has Fallen

Nathan M Rose | Jun 13, 2016

It was a guilty pleasure for me seeing Mike Banning again on the big screen being a one man army because these films harken back to the big action films of the 80s that I so sorely miss today.

The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Jun 13, 2016

The cast (of Ballers) is terrific and work well together. (Dwayne) Johnson is obviously in his comfort zone and his acting is better for it.

From a purely entertainment stand point, Now You See Me 2 is an interesting two hours and for budding magicians it’s probably a must see. However, as with many sequels, it doesn’t equal the original.

Roots

Allison Rose | Jun 07, 2016

Everything about Roots was epic. It ran for twelve hours over 8 nights and brought in record ratings, some of which still hold to this day.

Me Before You

Allison Rose | Jun 02, 2016

There is a reason Warner Bros. distributed tissues during the preview screening, so if you are in need of a good cry, I highly recommend Me Before You.

Gods of Egypt

Nathan M Rose | May 31, 2016

Alex Proyas and the cast of Gods of Egypt did the best they could do with the source material presented to them, and while it isn’t a terrible movie, it is certainly not one that is in the same league as the Hunger Games franchise that it is trying to replace.
