Inferno

Allison Rose | Oct 27, 2016

Inferno's ending has been altered. While cinematically more exciting, it also holds no mystery. Audiences who don’t know the story might find it wrapped up the movie neatly, but those who do won’t necessarily enjoy it.

Allison Rose | Oct 25, 2016

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

Jennifer Broderick | Oct 20, 2016

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.

American Pastoral

Allison Rose | Oct 20, 2016

As a first effort, McGregor’s directorial debut is lacking, but perhaps he chose to bite off a huge chunk by taking on a literary masterpiece.

Alice Through the Looking Glass

Jennifer Broderick | Oct 18, 2016

Alice Through the Looking Glass is a little busy and there is a lot going on, but there is so much origin presented that all the detail is worth watching.
