The Originals Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Originals: The Complete Second Season

Nathan M Rose | Sep 08, 2015

The Originals Season 2 Blu-ray set is a great presentation of one of prime times great tv shows. Season two quickly expands on the mythology laid out by the first season and raises the stakes. It is a must for any Originals, Vampire Diaries fan, and, it's even great for the casual viewer.

The Vampire Diaries Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Vampire Diaries Season 6

Allison Rose | Sep 03, 2015

The Vampire Diaries Season 6 maybe the saddest and bloodiest one so far. From other worldly prisons, to a new witch/vampire hybrid, the supernatural dimension went into overdrive this year.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Allison Rose | Aug 31, 2015

While I can’t say I was as enthralled with Mad Max: Fury Road as most people, I did enjoy finding out what all the excitement was about. I found myself in awe over some of the stunts and impressed with much of the acting.

We Are Your Friends

Allison Rose | Aug 26, 2015

Entertaining as it is, and with some good acting thrown in, I think We Are Your Friends misses the mark in some aspects and won’t be a blockbuster in theaters.

No Escape

Nathan M Rose | Aug 25, 2015

In every sense, the word 'thriller' has never been more accurate to describe a film.

American Ultra

Allison Rose | Aug 20, 2015

American Ultra couldn’t decide if it was a serious spy movie or a parody of a spy movie, which confused the audience and left each individual trying to figure out what the purpose of the movie was.

Hitman: Agent 47

Nathan M Rose | Aug 20, 2015

When Hitman: Agent 47 fails at the box office, one could, and will, argue the case that Hitman: Agent 47 didn’t fair well because R rated films have fallen out of fair with audience. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Hitman: Agent 47 failed because of a weak script created by a studio hack that has a track record of horrible films.

Mike & Molly: Season 5

Allison Rose | Aug 18, 2015

Under all the humor (or lack there of), the show has some heart and a good “soul” which makes for a feel good half hour each week. Unfortunately, it isn’t enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if the show only has one or two seasons left.

2 Broke Girls Physical Media: DVD Review

2 Broke Girls: The Complete Fourth Season

Allison Rose | Aug 14, 2015

2 Broke Girls was originally panned by critics in season one, the show has managed to survive, won two People’s Choice Awards, and garnered a following that has warranted a fifth season starting this Fall on CBS.

Straight Outta Compton

Allison Rose | Aug 13, 2015

The two hour and thirty minute running time is long and there were definitely scenes that could have been made shorter or cut out all together. However, Straight Outta Compton definitely is worth seeing, even if you can’t relate to rap music.
