Little Men Allison Rose |  Aug 22, 2016 While only an hour and a half long, Little Men is packed full of meaning and emotions.  Full Review  | Grade: B

Ben-Hur Judith Raymer |  Aug 18, 2016 Then, there are the action scenes.  Intense.  At times, gruesomely violent almost to the point of caricature, but Timur Bekmambetov pulls back just in time. Full Review  | Grade: B

War Dogs Allison Rose |  Aug 17, 2016 Director Todd Phillips graduates from schtick comedy to more serious subject matter with this film but still manages to interject moments of “slapstick” that remind you of his previous success. Full Review  | Grade: C

Sausage Party Allison Rose |  Aug 12, 2016 I dub Sausage Party “The soft porn of the animated food industry”. Full Review  | Grade: B

Pete's Dragon Allison Rose |  Aug 11, 2016 Pete's Dragon itself is dark, depressing and not suitable for its intended audience –families with young children. Full Review  | Grade: D

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. Full Review  | Grade: A

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. Full Review  | Grade: A

Suicide Squad Allison Rose |  Aug 04, 2016 Does Suicide Squad live up to the hype?  No, no it doesn’t.  Is it absolutely horrible? No, no it isn’t. Full Review  | Grade: B

Jason Bourne Allison Rose |  Jul 28, 2016 After the Bourne Legacy, the franchise needed a boost and it certainly got one with this latest film. Full Review  | Grade: B

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. Full Review  | Grade: C
