The Choice

Allison Rose | Feb 05, 2016

Granted, The Choice won’t be winning any Oscars, but in terms of a decent movie with that typical Sparks flair for telling a love story and making us cry, it hits its mark.

Hail, Caesar!

Allison Rose | Feb 04, 2016

I spent almost two hours trying to figure out what this Hail, Caesar! was about. Was it a farce? Was it wry look at the 1950s movie business and the studio system? Was it a commentary on Communism and McCarthyism? I’m still not sure, and walked away confused and befuddled.

Pride, Prejudice and Zombies

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.
