Mortal Engines

Allison Rose | Dec 12, 2018

If the steampunk aspect of Mortal Engines is one of the highlights ( and believe me, it is) then the script is one of the lower ones.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

Allison Rose | Dec 12, 2018

R.I.P Stan Lee and be comforted in the knowledge that your legions of fans and your works of art will endure for a long time to come. I can't think of a better way to honor Mr. Lee as this film embodies everything we could want.

Mary Queen of Scots

Ralph Breaks The Internet

Allison Rose | Nov 19, 2018

As sequels go this one hits the mark. It is enjoyable and entertaining and offers TONS of Easter eggs for the audience to dissect. The Disney team did a wonderful job visualizing what the internet might look like from the inside.

Instant Family

Allison Rose | Nov 18, 2018

Instant Family is a feel-good film during the holiday season and one that should be seen by everyone as it might just start a much-needed dialogue.

Full Review | Grade: B

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Allison Rose | Nov 15, 2018

While the magical aspects and visuals are appealing, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is clunky and awkward. Fans of the Potter Universe will no doubt go to see it but shouldn’t expect it to be as inviting as the first film.

Full Review | Grade: C

A Private War

Allison Rose | Nov 14, 2018

A Private War is haunting but does the life of Marie Colvin justice. It couldn’t have been easy but it was an important life and the film pays homage to the brilliant woman behind the faces of wars and conflicts all over the world.
