Edward Scissorhands

Allison Rose | Oct 23, 2015

It’s difficult to believe this film premiered 25 years ago, but this anniversary edition allows older audiences to introduce a new generation to the gentle, childlike Scissorhands while teaching a lesson on accepting those who are different.

The Last Witch Hunter

Allison Rose | Oct 22, 2015

While The Last Witch Hunter started off intriguing, it ended on a whimper that left me feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. Not the worst film ever, but certainly not even close to the best.

Jem and the Holograms

Allison Rose | Oct 22, 2015

I can't, in good conscience, recommend this movie to anyone other than soccer moms who are looking to have a mommy/daughter “date” with their little girl before she hits teenagedom

Steve Jobs

Paul Kates | Oct 22, 2015

To label a film biopic can sometimes be a little misleading. There is always a case for artistic license to emphasis part of the production, and this may be the case of Danny Boyle's (Trainspotting, Trance) latest offering, Steve Jobs.

Back In Time

Allison Rose | Oct 20, 2015

Everything old is new again, so it seems. Clinton and Bush are running for President, everyone is waiting for the release of Star Wars, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is starring in Terminator. People are going crazy for nostalgia and the buzz this month is all about Back To The Future.

The Following: The Complete Third Season

Sean Ferguson | Oct 19, 2015

The Following was a brilliant and addictive series! Season one will still be my favorite and from there it went a bit downhill….just not so dramatically until episode 40!

Mike Tyson Mysteries: The Compete First Season

Maureen Buccellato | Oct 19, 2015

The intelligent, yes, intelligent, humor combined with references to Mike Tyson's real life make for a very entertaining and unique watch.

Goosebumps

Allison Rose | Oct 16, 2015

While it’s interesting to see how the writers incorporated so many of Stein’s characters into one film, the overall plot of the movie leaves something to be desired. The story is simple and void of much detail, but since the target audience is under the age of 16, simple is probably better in this case.

Bridge of Spies

Allison Rose | Oct 15, 2015

For children of the 50’s, Bridge of Spies will be a nostalgic look back at a time when the world was a very different place. For those of us from younger generations, it will be an interesting view of world events from when communism overran half of Germany.
