Money Monster...More Warmth & Fuzz Than Scare

Full Review | Grade: C

Joy

Allison Rose | May 10, 2016

Jennifer Lawrence is as good as ever, and she and Bradley Cooper have a chemistry that makes them a formidable team.

Independence Day

Allison Rose | May 10, 2016

For all its schmaltzy graphics, the Independence Day is beautifully presented in 1080p resolution that really makes the explosions fill the entire room.

Captain America: Civil War

Allison Rose | May 05, 2016

Most diehard fans will find enough similarities between the comic books and the movie to feel satisfied that Marvel stayed true to the plot. Those that have never read the comic books but enjoyed the other superhero offerings won’t be disappointed by this latest installment.

The Huntsman: Winter's War

Allison Rose | Apr 21, 2016

The real problem with Huntsman: Winter’s War is the plot. It’s boring and unnecessary. I think the filmmakers are banking on the hype created by the previous off-camera scandal to put bodies in the theater.

Criminial

Allison Rose | Apr 14, 2016

Criminal is a very nondescript title for a somewhat interesting film, and that is only the first of a few of the problems plaguing Director Ariel Vromen’s (The Iceman) newest release.
