Shazam!

Allison Rose | Mar 23, 2019

Shazam! Is humorous, heartwarming, and lighthearted...Unless you are coldhearted, you will most likely walk out of the theater with a smile on your face after enjoying a few laughs.

Us is certainly one of the smarter horror/thriller movies that have come about in the past several years (besides Get Out) and Peele knows how to terrify us without gore or crazy jump scares.

Ruben Brandt, Collector

Allison Rose | Mar 15, 2019

Even if you don’t know the names of every painting flashing across the screen you are aware that you are witnessing masterpieces from almost the first frame.

To Dust

Allison Rose | Mar 14, 2019

While the subject matter can be bleak and depressing Snyder veers away from the stereotypical view of mourning and instead offers a different perspective on the whole concept of death.

Captain Marvel

Allison Rose | Mar 06, 2019

Larson is a great casting choice to play Danvers/Captain Marvel. She has an air of power with a soft femininity underneath and a sarcastic wit that helps lighten the mood of the serious, action film.

Greta

Alyn Darnay | Feb 28, 2019

Greta is half of a good film, the first half, where it beams with tangible tension and fearful dread. Then it slowly descends into the realm of the mundane and becomes just downright irritating.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Allison Rose | Feb 21, 2019

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World offers the audience adventure and romance while finishing the story off in a sentimental and touching way.

Full Review | Grade: A

Isn't It Romantic

Allison Rose | Feb 13, 2019

Isn't It Romantic does offer a terrific message about loving oneself before anyone or anything else and finding one’s self-worth and Wilson delivers it in the nicest possible way.

Alita: Battle Angel

Allison Rose | Feb 11, 2019

Rosa Salazar is more than believable as the innocent, wide-eyed (literally and figuratively) cyborg who eventually discovers she is a fierce warrior.

Full Review | Grade: B

Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel

Allison Rose | Feb 07, 2019

If you like a good fairytale story, baseball or are Jewish (or more than one of these things) you will identify with Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel.
