The Finest Hours

Allison Rose | Jan 28, 2016

I also had flashbacks a few times to a similar film, The Perfect Storm, as I watched the small ship battle to crest the waves barreling down upon them.

Ride Along 2

Allison Rose | Jan 15, 2016

If you take Ride Along 2 for what it is…a fun non-thinking every-man's movie, it isn’t terrible. The plot is thin and recycled and the acting is less than Oscar worthy, but there are a few laughs that make the movie watchable.

Concussion

Allison Rose | Dec 24, 2015

Will Smith is fantastic as Omalu, transforming himself into the soft-spoken, egotistical, yet vigilant, Doctor. His performance is excellent as he morphs into the Nigerian who simply wants to do what is right.

Daddy's Home

Allison Rose | Dec 23, 2015

Will Ferrell's latest endeavor, Daddy’s Home, is more of the same mind numbing antics we have come to expect from him. I can only hope at some point someone has the common sense to stop hiring him.

The Hateful Eight

Allison Rose | Dec 21, 2015

I can’t decide if Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) is incredibly brilliant or deeply disturbed; probably some combination of both.

The Big Short

Judith Raymer | Dec 21, 2015

Educational and enlightening would be an apt description were it not hidden beneath a highly entertaining, and darkly comedic film.

Sisters

Allison Rose | Dec 18, 2015

From driving techno beats to old school ‘80s songs, the music is a great-added element and helps get the audience in a party mood.

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

Nathan M Rose | Dec 16, 2015

Gone are most of the childish elements that made fans of the original trilogy cringe, and in it’s place, is dialog and scenes that are there to help move the story along.

In The Heart of The Sea

Allison Rose | Dec 10, 2015

The one thing I actually took away from this film was how hard it was to be a whaler, working hard for years at a time, under less than ideal conditions.

The Good Dinosaur

Allison Rose | Nov 25, 2015

If you are one of those adults looking to take the children in your life to a movie, this one isn’t a bad choice, but don’t be surprised when you walk away with the feeling of Déjà vu.
