Shrek Anniversary Edition

Allison Rose | Jun 26, 2016

With the perfect blend of storytelling, animation, and music this is one movie (Shrek) the whole family can enjoy.

Midnight Special

Allison Rose | Jun 21, 2016

In an era of remakes and sequels, Midnight Special offers something a little fresh and different.

Full Review | Grade: B

The Other Side of the Door

Allison Rose | Jun 21, 2016

If you want to be scared out of your mind, I suggest you choose a different film - Paranormal Activity perhaps. The other side of the door was an idea that had some potential, but it definitely doesn’t live up to it.

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

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.

Zootopia

Sean Ferguson | Jun 10, 2016

Zootopia Stands On Its Own Two Feet, just like its Anthropomorphic Characters!

Full Review | Grade: B

Puerto Ricans In Paris

Allison Rose | Jun 09, 2016

Most of the laughs didn’t work for me and, it pains me to say this because he seems like such a nice guy, but Garcia is too green to co-star in a major motion picture like Puerto Ricans in Paris.

Full Review | Grade: C

Now You See Me 2

Allison Rose | Jun 09, 2016

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.
