The Dark Crystal

Maureen Buccellato | Mar 06, 2018

The Dark Crystal is a considered a classic for those that grew up in the 1980s and is a film that still translates well to this generation of children. In an era where so many things are CGI, it's refreshing to experience this film all over again and see the true artwork that is showcased.

Lady Bird

Allison Rose | Mar 05, 2018

Gerwig hits the nail on the head for her first solo directorial project. There are no odd camera angles or superfluous shots. As the writer, her insight into this mother daughter relationship is raw and gritty and makes one wonder how much comes from her own life.

Thor: Ragnarok

Allison Rose | Mar 05, 2018

The latest Thor movie does its best to reinvent itself from the serious superhero, “save the world” usual fare into more of a humorous, Guardians of the Galaxy kind of way but sadly it just doesn’t mesh well with what we know of the series.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Allison Rose | Mar 02, 2018

Three Billboards wasn’t as gut-wrenching as I originally thought it would be but it was still emotional. Phenomenally acted it reminds us that actions have consequences and not just for ourselves.

Murder on the Orient Express

Allison Rose | Mar 01, 2018

The cast of this remake is veritable who’s who of Hollywood elite. Unfortunately, this script doesn’t give any of them a meaty enough part to sink their teeth into. While terrific as usual, none of then deliver an Oscar-worthy performance.

Lady and The Tramp Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Lady And The Tramp Signature Collection

Allison Rose | Feb 27, 2018

If you are a Disney fan or have little ones at home this is a purchase you certainly want to make. Disney movies are always a treat and this older one certainly stands the test of time and remains an enjoyable story told through the eyes of some adorable dogs.

Coco

Allison Rose | Feb 26, 2018

Already a Golden Globe winner for Best Motion Picture – Animated and a near shoe-in for the Oscar this year, Coco offers so much that it really is a complete movie for both children and adults to enjoy.

Darkest Hour

Allison Rose | Feb 25, 2018

Darkest Hour offers a look into a very specific and limited time frame in Churchill’s reign. The tumultuous issues would have given any politician cause for concern and pause but the movie depicts Churchill as a rather eccentric yet brilliant man.

The Florida Project

Allison Rose | Feb 20, 2018

Sean Baker does an excellent job of editing the film and the pace moves along nicely. The script is well done and the subject matter is very interesting.

Homeland: The Complete Sixth Season

Maureen Buccellato | Feb 19, 2018

While focusing on the drama of the Middle East that has been a focal point of this Country for years now, Homeland still has a basic premise at heart - good old human drama which always makes for thrilling television.
