Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Nathan M Rose | Dec 20, 2017

With so much “Oscar bait” clogging up this holiday season Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle is a refreshing comedic/action bright spot in an otherwise drama-filled fare.

Boston

Allison Rose | Dec 19, 2017

Dunham does a wonderful job of including so much of the human interest angle into Boston, infusing it with grit and heart. His presentation and delivery hold the viewer’s attention even if they are a novice to the world of running and Marathons.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Nathan M Rose | Dec 12, 2017

Rian Johnson has created an amazing film in the Star Wars saga with The Last Jedi. While certainly not the best in the series, it is certainly not the worst. One can only wait and see if J.J. Abrams can wrap up all the unanswered questions in the final film in this trilogy in 2019.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.

Allison Rose | Nov 22, 2017

Roman J. Israel, Esq. was unsettling in both a good and a bad way and at moments was difficult to watch. However, Washington is so amazing in general, and incredible in this role specifically, that the uncomfortable feeling is tolerated in order to see how the plot plays out in the end.

Coco

Judith Raymer | Nov 21, 2017

Stunning. Stimulating. Surprising. Funny. Mesmerizing. Moving. Disney/Pixar film, Coco transcends the typical animated film.

Justice League

Allison Rose | Nov 15, 2017

I went into Justice League with somewhat low expectations and walked out with a slightly brighter outlook than I expected. With some funny moments to lighten the mood and some strong (literally and figuratively) characters.
