The X-Files Miniseries

Nathan M Rose | Jun 27, 2016

After being off the air for over ten years, The X-Files event series was a nice return to form for one of television's most important shows ever created.

With the perfect blend of storytelling, animation, and music this is one movie (Shrek) the whole family can enjoy.

In an era of remakes and sequels, Midnight Special offers something a little fresh and different.

The Other Side of the Door

Allison Rose | Jun 21, 2016

If you want to be scared out of your mind, I suggest you choose a different film - Paranormal Activity perhaps. The other side of the door was an idea that had some potential, but it definitely doesn’t live up to it.

The Martian: Extended Edition

Gods of Egypt

Nathan M Rose | May 31, 2016

Alex Proyas and the cast of Gods of Egypt did the best they could do with the source material presented to them, and while it isn’t a terrible movie, it is certainly not one that is in the same league as the Hunger Games franchise that it is trying to replace.
