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.

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.

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.

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!

Veep Theatrical, Streaming, Physical Media Review

The Complete Fifth Season

Jennifer Broderick | Aug 01, 2016

The season finale of Veep is a shocker. Dirty deals are made. Unexpected people are out of a job and unexpected people, new to the season, are in.

Keanu

Allison Rose | Aug 01, 2016

As a recent comedy goes, Keanu is above average and works on many levels. The story was cute and the cat(s) even cuter – not to mention pretty good at acting.
