Finding Dory

Allison Rose | Jun 16, 2016

Finding Dory is obviously one of this summer’s animated blockbusters and Disney/Pixar are counting on our love of the original film to draw audiences to the movie. Luckily, the film has the quality to make people want to see it.

Now You See Me 2

Allison Rose | Jun 09, 2016

From a purely entertainment stand point, Now You See Me 2 is an interesting two hours and for budding magicians it’s probably a must see. However, as with many sequels, it doesn’t equal the original.

Me Before You

Allison Rose | Jun 02, 2016

There is a reason Warner Bros. distributed tissues during the preview screening, so if you are in need of a good cry, I highly recommend Me Before You.

Alice Through the Looking Glass

The biggest problem with Alice Through the Looking Glass is it tries too hard and falls short.

Weiner is not a likable guy and the camera is not kind to him.

While not as strong, or cohesive, as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys is still a humorous film with a multi-layered plot underneath.

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.
