Independence Day: Resurgence Allison Rose |  Oct 25, 2016 If you own the first Independence Day, I suggest buying this one so you have both in your collection, but, as a stand-alone, it doesn’t excite as much as the original. Full Review  | Grade: D

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising Jennifer Broderick |  Oct 21, 2016 Neighbors 2- Sorority Rising did, indeed, keep the same theme but, except for Efron's character, the other characters stayed on the same emotional level. Full Review  | Grade: B

The Night Of Allison Rose |  Oct 21, 2016 The Night Of  is a hard look at the judicial system, The New York Police Department, Rikers Island Penitentiary and racism in the United States. Full Review  | Grade: A

The Pickle Recipe Judith Raymer |  Oct 21, 2016 Magda Evolved, Rabbi Ted & a Hose Down….A Pun-ful Pickle Full Review  | Grade: A

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back Jennifer Broderick |  Oct 20, 2016 There is cohesive synergy between the cast.  Cruise, Smulders, and Yarosh make a great threesome- all exploring new aspects of individual relationships that really give the movie depth. Full Review  | Grade: B

American Pastoral Allison Rose |  Oct 20, 2016 As a first effort, McGregor’s directorial debut is lacking, but perhaps he chose to bite off a huge chunk by taking on a literary masterpiece.  Full Review  | Grade: C

Alice Through the Looking Glass Jennifer Broderick |  Oct 18, 2016 Alice Through the Looking Glass is a little busy and there is a lot going on, but there is so much origin presented that all the detail is worth watching. Full Review  | Grade: B

Cafe Society Allison Rose |  Oct 18, 2016 Woody Allen has a way of capturing the tone and essence of whatever setting and time period he is highlighting and transports the viewer seamlessly into that world. Full Review  | Grade: B

Ice Age: Collision Course Jennifer Broderick |  Oct 17, 2016 The public has demanded it and 20th Century Fox has delivered. Yes, Scrat and his acorn are back. Finally. Full Review  | Grade: B

Joshy Allison Rose |  Oct 14, 2016 Joshy is a little underwhelming when you first watch it, but the more you think about it and let it marinate, it tends to grow on you.  Full Review  | Grade: B
