War Dogs Allison Rose |  Aug 17, 2016 Director Todd Phillips graduates from schtick comedy to more serious subject matter with this film but still manages to interject moments of “slapstick” that remind you of his previous success. Full Review  | Grade: C

The Complete First Season Sean Ferguson |  Aug 16, 2016 DC may have found their strong point in television verses Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. The CW is telling the DC storylines, in great depth, on a weekly basis. Full Review  | Grade: B

11.22.63 Allison Rose |  Aug 16, 2016 The premise of 11.22.63 is great and interesting, and while the material is too long for a feature film, it is too short for an 8-hour mini-series. Full Review  | Grade: B

Sausage Party Allison Rose |  Aug 12, 2016 I dub Sausage Party “The soft porn of the animated food industry”. Full Review  | Grade: B

Pete's Dragon Allison Rose |  Aug 11, 2016 Pete's Dragon itself is dark, depressing and not suitable for its intended audience –families with young children. Full Review  | Grade: D

Hell or High Water Allison Rose |  Aug 11, 2016 I’m not sure Jeff Bridges makes a bad film anymore, but if he does, he is usually the bright spot. True to form, he plays his character well. Full Review  | Grade: A

Florence Foster Jenkins Allison Rose |  Aug 11, 2016 Simon Helberg is masterful at displaying emotion without saying a word and stands toe to toe with these screen giants in every scene. Full Review  | Grade: A

Batman: The Killing Joke Sean Ferguson |  Aug 09, 2016 I give “Batman: The Killing Joke” one and a half stars SOLELY for the vocal talent, Mark Hamill’s singing number and the background artists, who without them, the movie would be an even bigger disappointment! Full Review  | Grade: D

Suicide Squad Allison Rose |  Aug 04, 2016 Does Suicide Squad live up to the hype?  No, no it doesn’t.  Is it absolutely horrible? No, no it isn’t. Full Review  | Grade: B

Confirmation Allison Rose |  Aug 02, 2016 With a movie like Confirmation, you need a solid script to hold audience attention and HBO got one with writer Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich). Full Review  | Grade: B
