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.

Paper Towns

Emily Hazlett | Jul 24, 2015

If you are a teenager, you should run out to see this film. If you are the parent of a teenager, you should see it to get an alternate view and appreciation of your child(ren).

The Longest Ride

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

The Longest Ride is about love and passion, as well as dedication and sacrifice. However, at the end of the day, it is still a Nicholas Sparks’ film and you pretty much get what you expect.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

X-Men: Days of Future Past (The Rogue Cut)

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

I have a great idea for a new drinking game. Every time you spot a difference from the original X-Men: Days of Future Past to the new Rogue cut, take a shot! With 30 more minutes of footage you will surely be drunk!

Southpaw

Nathan M Rose | Jul 22, 2015

While Southpaw is not about superheroes trying to save the world, or little yellow men, it is still a worthy entry into the summer line up, and while it won’t have those same kind of numbers its opening weekend, it should have staying power.

Ant-Man

Allison Rose | Jul 17, 2015

I am curious to see how Lang/ANT-MAN merges with Captain America and the Avengers and it seems I won’t have to wait long as the ending credits set it up perfectly for him to make an appearance in Captain America: Civil War in 2016.

Trainwreck

Allison Rose | Jul 17, 2015

While Trainwreck wasn’t my favorite film, you could find a worse way to spend your time and money. For the majority of moviegoers, it will be a great, funny film that you will probably be talking about with your coworkers.
