Ghostbusters
Allison Rose | Jul 14, 2016
McCarthy isn’t funny and her voice is annoyingly nasal. Wiig is slightly better but mostly uninspired. Jones adds a few moments of hilarity and a streetwise toughness that works most of the time, but the real star is McKinnon.

The Infiltrator

Well told, nicely paced, and beautifully acted, The Infiltrator, left me craving more at the end.

The Innocents (Les Innocentes)
Allison Rose | Jul 10, 2016
The Innocents (Les Innocentes) is a masterful look at how our experiences shape and change us. The messages of perseverance and hope in a time of despair are powerful.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Allison Rose | Jul 07, 2016
It isn’t surprising that Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is written by Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien as it encompasses the same humor that they have given us in the past with Neighbors.

The Secret Life of Pets
Allison Rose | Jul 07, 2016
In a summer of sequels and lack luster movies, The Secret Life of Pets is a stand out in the crowd and once again reminds us why Illumination Entertainment is a force to be reckoned with in the world of animation.

The Legend of Tarzan
Allison Rose | Jun 30, 2016
The cinematography (in The Legend of Tarzan) is spectacular and makes you want to hop on a plane and fly to Africa.

The BFG
Allison Rose | Jun 30, 2016
The fantasy world of the “dream tree” is magical though and gives The BFG a sense of whimsy and playfulness it desperately needs. Unfortunately, those moments are too few to make a significant difference to the overall story.

Finding Dory
Allison Rose | Jun 16, 2016
Finding Dory is obviously one of this summer’s animated blockbusters and Disney/Pixar are counting on our love of the original film to draw audiences to the movie. Luckily, the film has the quality to make people want to see it.

Puerto Ricans In Paris
Allison Rose | Jun 09, 2016
Most of the laughs didn’t work for me and, it pains me to say this because he seems like such a nice guy, but Garcia is too green to co-star in a major motion picture like Puerto Ricans in Paris.
