Hail, Caesar!

Allison Rose | Feb 04, 2016

I spent almost two hours trying to figure out what this Hail, Caesar! was about. Was it a farce? Was it wry look at the 1950s movie business and the studio system? Was it a commentary on Communism and McCarthyism? I’m still not sure, and walked away confused and befuddled.

Pride, Prejudice and Zombies

Nathan M Rose | Feb 04, 2016

The studio directive of keeping Pride, Prejudice and Zombies PG-13/kid friendly, as well as the sloppy editing of Padraic McKinley, will certainly contribute to this film not becoming a cult hit.

Bridge of Spies

Nathan M Rose | Feb 02, 2016

As usual, Spielberg’s work is amazing. He is truly a master at his trade craft. He expertly directs this period piece like only Stephen Spielberg can.

The Devil Wears Prada

Allison Rose | Jan 22, 2016

While slightly shallow and scathing at times, The Devil Wears Prada takes a harsh look at the Fashion industry and doesn’t always paint it in the best light.

Everest

Allison Rose | Jan 19, 2016

Upon my initial watching of Everest, I found the first 25 minutes fairly boring. However, after watching the film a second time I was more interested and invested in the characters, which made me pay closer attention.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl

Allison Rose | Jan 19, 2016

Diary of a Teenage Girl is certainly an in your face, realistic view of the world of a teenage girl and Powley plays her beautifully. Her balancing act between innocence and maturity seems genuine and engages the audience to join her on her journey.
