Creed

Allison Rose | Nov 24, 2015

Lets face it, had this movie been made without Stallone, it would have been a completely different film and not nearly as good. Rocky had to be included in the next chapter of this saga or it would have been a cheap knock off of an iconic franchise.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2

Allison Rose | Nov 19, 2015

For the last in a series, it could have been better but it could have been worse too. Of the four films, it wasn’t my favorite but it certainly was better than Mocking jay Part I.

Spectre

Paul Kates | Nov 05, 2015

Although Skyfall was always going to be a tough act to follow, Spectre does manage to hold its own, and it seems to tie in the previous three films that feature Daniel Craig nicely.

Room

Allison Rose | Oct 30, 2015

Room is a brilliant and poignant piece of film making, the movie is thought provoking and relevant. Practically borrowing from recent years headlines, the story reminds us to keep our kids close and treasure every moment we have with them.

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

Nathan M Rose | Oct 29, 2015

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse starts off a bit slow at first, but once it gets going, it is a fun thrill ride.

The Last Witch Hunter

Allison Rose | Oct 22, 2015

While The Last Witch Hunter started off intriguing, it ended on a whimper that left me feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. Not the worst film ever, but certainly not even close to the best.

Jem and the Holograms

Allison Rose | Oct 22, 2015

I can't, in good conscience, recommend this movie to anyone other than soccer moms who are looking to have a mommy/daughter “date” with their little girl before she hits teenagedom

Steve Jobs

Paul Kates | Oct 22, 2015

To label a film biopic can sometimes be a little misleading. There is always a case for artistic license to emphasis part of the production, and this may be the case of Danny Boyle's (Trainspotting, Trance) latest offering, Steve Jobs.

Back In Time

Allison Rose | Oct 20, 2015

Everything old is new again, so it seems. Clinton and Bush are running for President, everyone is waiting for the release of Star Wars, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is starring in Terminator. People are going crazy for nostalgia and the buzz this month is all about Back To The Future.

Goosebumps

Allison Rose | Oct 16, 2015

While it’s interesting to see how the writers incorporated so many of Stein’s characters into one film, the overall plot of the movie leaves something to be desired. The story is simple and void of much detail, but since the target audience is under the age of 16, simple is probably better in this case.
