A graduate of The George Washington University and Nova Southeastern Law School Jennifer Fischer Broderick’s fascination with the movie world started when she first saw Snow White on the big screen as a young child. When the producers of the movie Annie held auditions in NYC, Jennifer stood on line in the cold to try out for a part and actually made it past the first few try-outs. A vivacious reader, she is fascinated watching books and stories brought to life on the big screen. Jennifer has passed her love of movies onto her children and they are often found planning their weekends around opening premieres.
Allied
Allied is a refreshing alternative movie in a world of ever growing Superhero and fantasy movies.
War Dogs
The story flows, the actors, for this genre, are absolutely remarkable, and when the movie ends one wonders why it was so short.
Citizen Kane: 75th Anniversary Edition
Welles not only did an amazing job as an actor, but he was an extraordinary writer.
Space Jam: 20th Anniversary Steelbook
If you have an elementary school-aged child at home, this would be a good investment, if for nothing else, the Steelbook alone.
Finding Dory
A lighthearted dramatic-like comedy, this animated film clearly is in the same league as its prequel.
Vice Principals
Despite being about Vice Principals and a high school, keep your children far, far away from this series.
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
Neighbors 2- Sorority Rising did, indeed, keep the same theme but, except for Efron's character, the other characters stayed on the same emotional level.
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
There is cohesive synergy between the cast. Cruise, Smulders, and Yarosh make a great threesome- all exploring new aspects of individual relationships that really give the movie depth.
