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. Full Review  | Grade: B

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. Full Review  | Grade: B

Alice Through the Looking Glass Allison Rose |  May 26, 2016 The biggest problem with Alice Through the Looking Glass is it tries too hard and falls short. Full Review  | Grade: D

Weiner Allison Rose |  May 25, 2016 Weiner is not a likable guy and the camera is not kind to him. Full Review  | Grade: A

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising Allison Rose |  May 19, 2016 Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising has so many holes in it you could drive a Mack Truck though them but it’s meant to be a brainless comedy and it certainly achieves that goal. Full Review  | Grade: C

The Nice Guys Allison Rose |  May 19, 2016 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. Full Review  | Grade: A

Money Monster Judith Raymer |  May 12, 2016 Money Monster...More Warmth & Fuzz Than Scare Full Review  | Grade: C

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. Full Review  | Grade: B

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.  Full Review  | Grade: C

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. Full Review  | Grade: C
