Bridge of Spies

Allison Rose | Oct 15, 2015

For children of the 50’s, Bridge of Spies will be a nostalgic look back at a time when the world was a very different place. For those of us from younger generations, it will be an interesting view of world events from when communism overran half of Germany.

Pan

Paul Kates | Oct 08, 2015

Geared for pre-teens, Pan should be fairly well received by those it is aimed at. Others may walk away feeling a little bit deflated.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Allison Rose | Oct 02, 2015

Sadly Avengers: Age of Ultron doesn’t live up to the original film, but for Marvel fans it is a solid effort with some good action sequences. Watching it in Digital HD is a treat and I recommend it for any Avengers fan.

The Martian

Paul Kates | Oct 01, 2015

The bottom line is The Martian is a hugely entertaining movie and although it has a running time of 141 minutes it really does not seem that long when you are immersed in it.

Sicario

Nathan M Rose | Oct 01, 2015

Not since Steven Soderbergh's Traffic has their been a film quite like Sicario.

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.
