Captain America: Civil War

Allison Rose | May 05, 2016

Most diehard fans will find enough similarities between the comic books and the movie to feel satisfied that Marvel stayed true to the plot. Those that have never read the comic books but enjoyed the other superhero offerings won’t be disappointed by this latest installment.

The Huntsman: Winter's War

Allison Rose | Apr 21, 2016

The real problem with Huntsman: Winter’s War is the plot. It’s boring and unnecessary. I think the filmmakers are banking on the hype created by the previous off-camera scandal to put bodies in the theater.

Criminial

Allison Rose | Apr 14, 2016

Criminal is a very nondescript title for a somewhat interesting film, and that is only the first of a few of the problems plaguing Director Ariel Vromen’s (The Iceman) newest release.

The Boss

Allison Rose | Apr 07, 2016

The real tragedy of The Boss is that, for a comedy, it isn’t remotely funny.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Allison Rose | Mar 24, 2016

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice lacks is excitement. It has plenty of fighting scenes but no real urgency to add suspense.

Eye in the Sky

Allison Rose | Mar 23, 2016

There is so much right about Eye in the Sky it’s difficult to find many flaws.

Full Review | Grade: A

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

Allison Rose | Mar 23, 2016

Part of what makes My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 so much fun is the cast. From Vardalos to Corbett and Constantine, Kazan, and every one in between, the comedic timing is spot on and serious delivery of such obviously hilarious dialogue is terrific.

Allegiant

Allison Rose | Mar 17, 2016

Allegiant is beginning to suffer the same fate as another recent book trilogy turned movie series, in that it has lost some of the original appeal and has gotten boring.

10 Cloverfield Lane

Allison Rose | Mar 10, 2016

10 Cloverfield Lane has a good, solid script, a great cast – with early Oscar buzz for Goodman – and enough suspense to keep audiences waiting to see what happens next.
