Wonder Woman

Judith Raymer | Jun 01, 2017

Wonder Woman opens the door for exciting new adventures from a balanced, powerful hero that will, hopefully, continue to receive the consideration and storylines offered to counterparts outside of ensemble vehicles. And, the invisible jet! The invisible jet, too!

Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Judith Raymer | May 25, 2017

I recommend enduring the lengthy credit roll as there is a surprise with which you will be rewarded! That said, two more mentions...Sir Paul McCartney appears ever so briefly as Jack’s Uncle Jack. Brief, but brilliant. Golshifteh Farahani is breathtaking.

Baywatch

Judith Raymer | May 24, 2017

In addition to the sentimental sap, the upending uproar, and...hot bodies, this film packs some seriously, outrageously, over the top, spectacular action. Sure, it’s ridiculous. Isn’t most action these days? It’s also engaging, exhilarating, all-encompassing action.

Everything, Everything

Judith Raymer | May 18, 2017

An innocence absent of complete naivete on the part of Maddy and Olly is guided by exceptional supporting performances and a synergy amongst the extended cast in Everything, Everything

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Allison Rose | May 04, 2017

Overall, Guardians Vol. 2 still had elements of the original and even though it started off slow, it picked up steam to a supercharged, somewhat hokey ending.

Sand Castle

Allison Rose | Apr 20, 2017

While the material isn’t necessarily anything new or earth-shattering – we all know from the news the struggles out troops have faced overseas – I thought the movie presented a slightly more interesting view of what when on there.

The Lost City of Z

Judith Raymer | Apr 20, 2017

James Gray has paced this film such as to allow the audience the time to truly understand the varying layers and perspectives.

Fate of The Furious

Allison Rose | Apr 13, 2017

The series has a loyal fan base and if the crowds for the previous screenings are any indications this movie will do very well at the box office. With movies nine and ten already announced, it looks like we will be seeing a lot more of Dom and company in the future.

Smurfs: The Lost Village

Allison Rose | Apr 06, 2017

The overall feel (The Smurfs: The Lost Village) is a throwback to those days back in the 1980's when I could grab some cereal and watch tv while the rest of the house was still sleeping.
