Black Mass

Nathan M Rose | Feb 16, 2016

As usual, Johnny Depp gives his all to his performance. At no time through the film did it feel like Johnny Depp was on screen, his persona and performance echo his character, James “Whitey” Bolger, through the entire run-time.

Steve Jobs

Allison Rose | Feb 15, 2016

The Leftovers: The Complete Second Season

Everest

Allison Rose | Jan 19, 2016

Upon my initial watching of Everest, I found the first 25 minutes fairly boring. However, after watching the film a second time I was more interested and invested in the characters, which made me pay closer attention.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl

Allison Rose | Jan 19, 2016

Diary of a Teenage Girl is certainly an in your face, realistic view of the world of a teenage girl and Powley plays her beautifully. Her balancing act between innocence and maturity seems genuine and engages the audience to join her on her journey.
