Cell

Allison Rose | Sep 27, 2016

As a commentary on today’s world where most of us are in a zombie-like state staring at our electronic devices instead of interacting with those around us, Cell is a meaningful look at what we as a society have become.

Central Intelligence

Allison Rose | Sep 27, 2016

What happens when you were the geek in High School and now you‘ve peaked 20 years later?

Warcraft

Nathan M Rose | Sep 26, 2016

The true hero of Warcraft is the amazing special effect work done by Industrial Light and Magic with the motion capture and the landscape of the realm of Azeroth.

Beauty and the Beast Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Beauty and the Beast: 25th Anniversary Edition

Allison Rose | Sep 23, 2016

By Disney standards, Beauty and the Beast is a standout. The hour and a half movie has it all.

Aliens: 30th Anniversary Edition

Jennifer Broderick | Sep 21, 2016

The transfer is the exact same one that was in the Alien Anthology release... so if you are expecting a different viewing experience than before you will be somewhat disappointed.

Free State of Jones

Allison Rose | Sep 20, 2016

McConaughey’s charm is one of the positive aspects of the film and it is easy to see how he could command a group of disheartened people and get them to band together to fight back.

Marauders

Sean Ferguson | Sep 14, 2016

Marauders doesn’t take advantage of its availability of Bruce Willis. I had hoped that his role in the film would be much bigger and it wouldn’t rely so heavily on Christopher Meloni.

The Conjuring 2

Sean Ferguson | Sep 13, 2016

I have to give up props to Director James Wan for taking this story and not chopping it down to a cheesy 90-minute scare-gag fest with cats jumping out to scare teenagers.

A Bigger Splash

Jennifer Broderick | Sep 12, 2016

Ralph Fiennes’ performance is immaculate. Unlike many of the serious characters he has played in the past, he brings a completely different persona to Hawkes.
