Allison Rose | Oct 25, 2018

Beautiful Boy manages to accentuate the devastation addiction brings on the whole family while also highlighting not only the big problem this country faces but also the science behind the chemical reaction the drugs cause on the human body.

Johnny English Strikes Again

Allison Rose | Oct 24, 2018

No, Johnny English Strikes Again won’t win any awards but it will resonate with fans of the character and Atkinson’s shtick.

First Man

Allison Rose | Oct 11, 2018

First Man is dramatic and thoughtful and balances the silence and tension with the lighter moments. It’s an interesting take on The United States Space program in the 1960’s and the man that would become revered as an American Hero.

Peppermint

Allison Rose | Sep 06, 2018

For the average moviegoer or for fans of Jennifer Garner Peppermint doesn't go far enough to offer a worthwhile experience. I don't think we will see a sequel coming down the road for this one and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Kin

Allison Rose | Aug 30, 2018

James Franco is excellent as the stereotypical sleazy dirtbag. As an actor, he is a chameleon who always delivers on screen.

Bang The Drum Slowly

Allison Rose | Aug 26, 2018

Even though Bang The Drum Slowly is forty-five years old is it as poignant and relevant today as it was back in the 1970’s. It’s worth watching for any young person, especially those involved in sports.
