Hell or High Water

Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2016

I’m not sure Jeff Bridges makes a bad film anymore, but if he does, he is usually the bright spot. True to form, he plays his character well.

Florence Foster Jenkins

Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2016

Simon Helberg is masterful at displaying emotion without saying a word and stands toe to toe with these screen giants in every scene.

Ghostbusters

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.
