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

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.

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation

Nathan M Rose | Jul 29, 2015

While Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is an adequate entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise, it is not the standout film that it could, and should, have been. However, saying that, it is still miles above most of your standard action films.

Vacation

Judith Raymer | Jul 28, 2015

Once upon a time, John Hughes forever changed a simple word...Vacation.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters

Nathan M Rose | Jul 28, 2015

Imagine if you will, a world where there is a Superman, but no Clark Kent, a Batman, but no Bruce Wayne, A Wonder Woman, but no Princess Diana. These are some of the changes this Elseworlds (i.e. Alternate Universe) tale has in store for the viewer.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Allison Rose | Jul 27, 2015

I know the saying is “third time’s a charm”, but, for Fox Searchlight, it seems to be the second go around is charming, or at least just as charming, as the first.
