Eye in the Sky

Nathan M Rose | Jun 30, 2016

Eye in The Sky is a truly riveting tale about the cost of war, and the decisions that people must make on a daily basis deciding who lives and who dies for the price of freedom.

The Legend of Tarzan

Allison Rose | Jun 30, 2016

The cinematography (in The Legend of Tarzan) is spectacular and makes you want to hop on a plane and fly to Africa.

The BFG

Allison Rose | Jun 30, 2016

The fantasy world of the “dream tree” is magical though and gives The BFG a sense of whimsy and playfulness it desperately needs. Unfortunately, those moments are too few to make a significant difference to the overall story.

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

The Other Side of the Door

Allison Rose | Jun 21, 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

It was a guilty pleasure for me seeing Mike Banning again on the big screen being a one man army because these films harken back to the big action films of the 80s that I so sorely miss today.
