The Intern

Allison Rose | Sep 24, 2015

The Intern certainly isn’t going to win any major awards, but it is a light hearted, fun look at retirement and the generation gap.

Black Mass

Allison Rose | Sep 17, 2015

Black Mass isn’t a docudrama, nor is it a “gangster” film; and, as a straightforward drama it just isn’t all that strong.

Legend

Paul Kates | Sep 13, 2015

For me, after a year that promised so much and has given so little, it’s refreshing to walk out after seeing a movie and wanting to see it again. Legend is the best film I’ve seen this year.

The Visit

Allison Rose | Sep 10, 2015

For those looking for a jump out of your seat, wet your pants, scary, gory slasher film, The Visit isn’t it. It is more psychological in nature and what I would classify as a thinking man’s horror thriller.

We Are Your Friends

Allison Rose | Aug 26, 2015

Entertaining as it is, and with some good acting thrown in, I think We Are Your Friends misses the mark in some aspects and won’t be a blockbuster in theaters.

No Escape

Nathan M Rose | Aug 25, 2015

In every sense, the word 'thriller' has never been more accurate to describe a film.

American Ultra

Allison Rose | Aug 20, 2015

American Ultra couldn’t decide if it was a serious spy movie or a parody of a spy movie, which confused the audience and left each individual trying to figure out what the purpose of the movie was.

Hitman: Agent 47

Nathan M Rose | Aug 20, 2015

When Hitman: Agent 47 fails at the box office, one could, and will, argue the case that Hitman: Agent 47 didn’t fair well because R rated films have fallen out of fair with audience. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Hitman: Agent 47 failed because of a weak script created by a studio hack that has a track record of horrible films.

Full Review | Grade: D

Straight Outta Compton

Allison Rose | Aug 13, 2015

The two hour and thirty minute running time is long and there were definitely scenes that could have been made shorter or cut out all together. However, Straight Outta Compton definitely is worth seeing, even if you can’t relate to rap music.
