The Casual Vacancy Allison Rose |  Aug 03, 2015 Never judge a book by its cover.  That is one of the lessons of The Casual Vacancy, the J.K Rowling book adaptation that was a three hour miniseries on BBC and HBO. Full Review  | Grade: C

The End of The Tour Allison Rose |  Jul 31, 2015 Jason Segel is brilliant as Wallace, a highly intelligent individual who, like many tortured writers, battled addiction and depression.  He plays Wallace with such depth and intensity that you can see the wheels turning in Wallace’s brain. Full Review  | Grade: B

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation Nathan M Rose |  Jul 29, 2015 While Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is an adequate entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise, it is not the standout film that it could, and should, have been. However, saying that, it is still miles above most of your standard action films. Full Review  | Grade: B

Vacation Judith Raymer |  Jul 28, 2015 Once upon a time, John Hughes forever changed a simple word...Vacation. Full Review  | Grade: B

Justice League: Gods and Monsters Nathan M Rose |  Jul 28, 2015 Imagine if you will, a world where there is a Superman, but no Clark Kent, a Batman, but no Bruce Wayne, A Wonder Woman, but no Princess Diana. These are some of the changes this Elseworlds (i.e. Alternate Universe) tale has in store for the viewer. Full Review  | Grade: B

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Allison Rose |  Jul 27, 2015 I know the saying is “third time’s a charm”, but, for Fox Searchlight, it seems to be the second go around is charming, or at least just as charming, as the first. Full Review  | Grade: B

Paper Towns Emily Hazlett |  Jul 24, 2015 If you are a teenager, you should run out to see this film. If you are the parent of a teenager, you should see it to get an alternate view and appreciation of your child(ren). Full Review  | Grade: B

The Longest Ride Allison Rose |  Jul 23, 2015 The Longest Ride is about love and passion, as well as dedication and sacrifice. However, at the end of the day, it is still a Nicholas Sparks’ film and you pretty much get what you expect. Full Review  | Grade: C

X-Men: Days of Future Past (The Rogue Cut) Allison Rose |  Jul 23, 2015 I have a great idea for a new drinking game. Every time you spot a difference from the original X-Men: Days of Future Past to the new Rogue cut, take a shot! With 30 more minutes of footage you will surely be drunk! Full Review  | Grade: B

Southpaw Nathan M Rose |  Jul 22, 2015 While Southpaw is not about superheroes trying to save the world, or little yellow men, it is still a worthy entry into the summer line up, and while it won’t have those same kind of numbers its opening weekend, it should have staying power.
