Back In Time

Allison Rose | Oct 20, 2015

Everything old is new again, so it seems. Clinton and Bush are running for President, everyone is waiting for the release of Star Wars, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is starring in Terminator. People are going crazy for nostalgia and the buzz this month is all about Back To The Future.

Goosebumps

Allison Rose | Oct 16, 2015

While it’s interesting to see how the writers incorporated so many of Stein’s characters into one film, the overall plot of the movie leaves something to be desired. The story is simple and void of much detail, but since the target audience is under the age of 16, simple is probably better in this case.

Bridge of Spies

Allison Rose | Oct 15, 2015

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.

Pan

Paul Kates | Oct 08, 2015

Geared for pre-teens, Pan should be fairly well received by those it is aimed at. Others may walk away feeling a little bit deflated.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Allison Rose | Oct 02, 2015

Sadly Avengers: Age of Ultron doesn’t live up to the original film, but for Marvel fans it is a solid effort with some good action sequences. Watching it in Digital HD is a treat and I recommend it for any Avengers fan.

The Martian

Paul Kates | Oct 01, 2015

The bottom line is The Martian is a hugely entertaining movie and although it has a running time of 141 minutes it really does not seem that long when you are immersed in it.

Sicario

Nathan M Rose | Oct 01, 2015

Not since Steven Soderbergh's Traffic has their been a film quite like Sicario.

The Intern

Allison Rose | Sep 24, 2015

The Intern certainly isn’t going to win any major awards, but it is a light hearted, fun look at retirement and the generation gap.

Black Mass

Allison Rose | Sep 17, 2015

Black Mass isn’t a docudrama, nor is it a “gangster” film; and, as a straightforward drama it just isn’t all that strong.

Legend

Paul Kates | Sep 13, 2015

For me, after a year that promised so much and has given so little, it’s refreshing to walk out after seeing a movie and wanting to see it again. Legend is the best film I’ve seen this year.
