Bridge of Spies

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/15/2015 9:49 AM EDT
For children of the 50's, Bridge of Spies will be a nostalgic look back at a time when the world was a very different place. For those of us from younger generations, it will be an interesting view of world events from when communism overran half of Germany. Either way, it is a powerful film, highlighting the more human side of the cold... Read More

Robert DeNiro (Limitless) is the consummate actor. Throw any part at him and he will make it his own; a chameleon of immense proportions unmatched by most actors today.

(Paul Kates) 9/13/2015 11:59 AM EDT
London in the 1960's was a hub for gangland crime, but there was one gang that stood out from the rest - The Kray's.

The Visit

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/10/2015 11:28 AM EDT
Like some of M. Night Shyamalan's other movies, The Visit ends with a twist you didn't see coming. I expected the typical poltergeist infestation or supernatural explanation for the characters' behavior, but what I ultimately got was much darker and more realistic. It almost makes you wonder what sort of demonic dialogue goes on inside ... Read More

Zac Efron (Neighbors) seems to gravitate towards movies that incorporate music. From singing and dancing in his earlier roles, to his latest film We Are Your Friends, Efron has a connection that will most likely follow him and pop up from time to time throughout his career. As Cole Carter, a DJ trying to make it in the LA scen... Read More
