We Are Your Friends

Allison Rose | Aug 26, 2015

Entertaining as it is, and with some good acting thrown in, I think We Are Your Friends misses the mark in some aspects and won’t be a blockbuster in theaters.

No Escape

Nathan M Rose | Aug 25, 2015

In every sense, the word 'thriller' has never been more accurate to describe a film.

American Ultra

Allison Rose | Aug 20, 2015

American Ultra couldn’t decide if it was a serious spy movie or a parody of a spy movie, which confused the audience and left each individual trying to figure out what the purpose of the movie was.

Hitman: Agent 47

Nathan M Rose | Aug 20, 2015

When Hitman: Agent 47 fails at the box office, one could, and will, argue the case that Hitman: Agent 47 didn’t fair well because R rated films have fallen out of fair with audience. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Hitman: Agent 47 failed because of a weak script created by a studio hack that has a track record of horrible films.

Straight Outta Compton

Allison Rose | Aug 13, 2015

The two hour and thirty minute running time is long and there were definitely scenes that could have been made shorter or cut out all together. However, Straight Outta Compton definitely is worth seeing, even if you can’t relate to rap music.

Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Nathan M Rose | Aug 13, 2015

Man From U.N.C.L.E. marks the first time Guy Ritchie has directed since 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and he has not skipped a beat.

Fantastic Four

Nathan M Rose | Aug 06, 2015

Simply stated, Fantastic Four is the best comic book movie of 2015. In a year that brought us very dull offerings from the Marvel/Disney cinematic universe, this little movie puts energy back into the over saturated superhero genre.

The End of The Tour

Allison Rose | Jul 31, 2015

Jason Segel is brilliant as Wallace, a highly intelligent individual who, like many tortured writers, battled addiction and depression. He plays Wallace with such depth and intensity that you can see the wheels turning in Wallace’s brain.

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation

Nathan M Rose | Jul 29, 2015

While Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is an adequate entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise, it is not the standout film that it could, and should, have been. However, saying that, it is still miles above most of your standard action films.
