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. Full Review  | Grade: D

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: 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.  Full Review  | Grade: C

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.

Man From U.N.C.L.E. Nathan M Rose |  Aug 13, 2015 Man From U.N.C.L.E. marks the first time Guy Ritchie has directed since 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and he has not skipped a beat. Full Review  | Grade: B

Far From the Madding Crowd Allison Rose |  Aug 11, 2015 While the story itself isn’t all that exciting, this version is well acted and directed and overall has an excellent quality that makes it worth seeing. Full Review  | Grade: A

Hot Pursuit Allison Rose |  Aug 11, 2015 Sadly, Hot Pursuit completely missed the mark by not utilizing these two talented ladies. I‘m not sure what they saw in this film when they read the script, but, it isn’t funny, interesting or original. Full Review  | Grade: D

Home Sean Ferguson |  Aug 07, 2015 I give DreamWorks’s “Home” 3 Slushy flavors out of 5. …of course Busta Lime is my fav! It’s fun, entertaining, has a great soundtrack, and is quite informative on the dangers of unique passwords! Full Review  | Grade: C

Fantastic Four Nathan M Rose |  Aug 06, 2015 Simply stated, Fantastic Four is the best comic book movie of 2015. In a year that brought us very dull offerings from the Marvel/Disney cinematic universe, this little movie puts energy back into the over saturated superhero genre. Full Review  | Grade: B

Insurgent Allison Rose |  Aug 04, 2015 The four hours worth of extras are the real addition that makes owning this movie even slightly worthwhile. If you are a fan who wants to have the complete set...go out and buy it, but otherwise, it is one that doesn’t really need to. Full Review  | Grade: C
