The Public

Judith Raymer | Apr 05, 2019

When dissected, The Public could seem an ambitious effort...However, it achieves a global appeal and fluidity hitting intellectual and entertaining notes alike.

Hotel Mumbai

Alyn Darnay | Mar 28, 2019

Hotel Mumbai is one of those films that will stay with you long after you leave the theater. It’s the type of skillfully made thriller that only comes around once in a while. Don’t miss it.

Dumbo

Allison Rose | Mar 27, 2019

Burton deserves credit for making this film not nearly as dark as many of his other features and the vibrant colors of the circus are definitely a departure from his usual darker tones.

Shazam!

Allison Rose | Mar 23, 2019

Shazam! Is humorous, heartwarming, and lighthearted...Unless you are coldhearted, you will most likely walk out of the theater with a smile on your face after enjoying a few laughs.

Us is certainly one of the smarter horror/thriller movies that have come about in the past several years (besides Get Out) and Peele knows how to terrify us without gore or crazy jump scares.

Ruben Brandt, Collector

Allison Rose | Mar 15, 2019

Even if you don’t know the names of every painting flashing across the screen you are aware that you are witnessing masterpieces from almost the first frame.

To Dust

Allison Rose | Mar 14, 2019

While the subject matter can be bleak and depressing Snyder veers away from the stereotypical view of mourning and instead offers a different perspective on the whole concept of death.

Captain Marvel

Allison Rose | Mar 06, 2019

Larson is a great casting choice to play Danvers/Captain Marvel. She has an air of power with a soft femininity underneath and a sarcastic wit that helps lighten the mood of the serious, action film.

Greta

Alyn Darnay | Feb 28, 2019

Greta is half of a good film, the first half, where it beams with tangible tension and fearful dread. Then it slowly descends into the realm of the mundane and becomes just downright irritating.
