The Founder

Allison Rose | Apr 25, 2017

The Founder may evoke sympathy for the McDonald brothers and their descendants and may turn fans of McDonald’s off the franchise, as it left me angry and sad and tired of greedy people and the corporations they run.

Underworld: Blood Wars

Nathan M Rose | Apr 24, 2017

A lot of younger faces are introduced to this new film (Underworld: Blood Wars), in the hopeful attempt to bring in a more youthful audience to the series as most of their fans have grown up.

Split

Jennifer Broderick | Apr 21, 2017

Although the plot itself (a mentally ill man kidnapping girls) has been done before and isn’t that much of an engaging storyline, the film succeeds because of McAvoy’s extraordinary acting skills.

Donnie Darko (4-Disc Limited Edition)

Leonard Buccellato | Apr 18, 2017

If you are a fan of Donnie Darko you should buy this boxed set and if you’ve never seen this movie before, you need to buy it; you owe it to yourself to watch it multiple times and become obsessed, like the rest of us!

Hidden Figures

Jennifer Broderick | Apr 12, 2017

Hidden Figures is the movie everyone should watch. It educates us and entertains us at the same time. It puts the civil rights movement and segregation in a perspective that most of us have only read about in history books.

The Bye Bye Man

Allison Rose | Apr 10, 2017

(The Bye Bye Man) had some potential but maybe for budget reasons the characters and plot never fully get fleshed out which is a shame. It had the makings of an original psychological/sci-fi thriller but just can’t seem to deliver.
