Paper Towns Allison Rose |  Oct 27, 2015 Unlike some other coming of age films, Paper Towns is fairly well done with intricacies and nuances not always developed in these types of films.  Full Review  | Grade: B

Max Allison Rose |  Oct 26, 2015 Besides the film’s furry stars, and the message about our veterans (of all kinds), the movie doesn’t offer much in the way of entertainment or believability. Full Review  | Grade: C

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. Full Review  | Grade: B

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. Full Review  | Grade: C

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 Full Review  | Grade: D

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. Full Review  | Grade: B

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. Full Review  | Grade: B

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! Full Review  | Grade: C

Home Alone Ultimate Collector's Edition Allison Rose |  Oct 19, 2015 For anyone who enjoyed the series and wants a little bit of holiday nostalgia, this paint can is a terrific way to relive it all.  For the formidable collector, it would be a welcome addition and a perfect holiday gift.  Full Review  | Grade: B

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. Full Review  | Grade: B
