The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Extended Edition Nathan M Rose |  Nov 16, 2015 While Jackson’s extended editions are usually the “go to” choice when choosing on film editions, The extended edition of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies can’t help the film from being just a 164-minute coda to a trilogy that was already complete.

Trainwreck Nathan M Rose |  Nov 09, 2015 Trainwreck is a decent entry into the family of Judd Apatow comedies, and while the film does not really have rewatchability, it is a film with a lot of heart and showcases Amy Schumer’s acting skills. Full Review  | Grade: B

The Goonies Paul Kates |  Nov 05, 2015 1985 - the year the first cell phone call was made and compact disc’s first showed up on the high street and anyone who was anyone tried the “truffle shuffle”, which means the timeless “cult” classic that is The Goonies is 30 years old!

Spectre Paul Kates |  Nov 05, 2015 Although Skyfall was always going to be a tough act to follow, Spectre does manage to hold its own, and it seems to tie in the previous three films that feature Daniel Craig nicely. Full Review  | Grade: A

Inside Out Nathan M Rose |  Nov 03, 2015 For the most part, the story works. Docter's vision of the inner workings of a child's mind is engaging, colorful, and informative, and, as with most Pixar films, tries to convey a valuable life lesson to viewers, not just putting color and fanciful stuff on screen to just look pretty.

Vacation Allison Rose |  Nov 02, 2015 Had it been done well, the return visit to the Griswold family and Wally World would have been a nice stroll down memory lane while making the franchise fresh. Full Review  | Grade: B

Room Allison Rose |  Oct 30, 2015 Room is a brilliant and poignant piece of film making, the movie is thought provoking and relevant.  Practically borrowing from recent years headlines, the story reminds us to keep our kids close and treasure every moment we have with them. Full Review  | Grade: A

Ash vs Evil Dead Nathan M Rose |  Oct 29, 2015 With it’s second season order already green-lit (before it’s series debut on Halloween night), it is safe to say that Ash and the insane horrors of The Evil Dead will not be disappearing any time soon.  Full Review  | Grade: B

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse Nathan M Rose |  Oct 29, 2015 Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse starts off a bit slow at first, but once it gets going, it is a fun thrill ride. Full Review  | Grade: B

Wayward Pines Nathan M Rose |  Oct 29, 2015 Wayward Pines is an amazing mini-series that helps bring the tarnished reputation of Shyamalan back into the light. Full Review  | Grade: A
