The Longest Ride

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

The Longest Ride is about love and passion, as well as dedication and sacrifice. However, at the end of the day, it is still a Nicholas Sparks’ film and you pretty much get what you expect.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

X-Men: Days of Future Past (The Rogue Cut)

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

I have a great idea for a new drinking game. Every time you spot a difference from the original X-Men: Days of Future Past to the new Rogue cut, take a shot! With 30 more minutes of footage you will surely be drunk!

The Strain Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Strain: Season 1 - The Premium Collector’s Edition

Nathan M Rose | Jun 30, 2015

Run All Night

Nathan M Rose | Jun 16, 2015

While Run All Night is not in the same league as some of Liam Neeson’s other action films (Taken, Non-Stop), it is a very gripping and engaging story.

McFarland, USA

Allison Rose | Jun 10, 2015

If you want to watch fiction based on truth, and have a few hours, I suggest sitting down with some popcorn and giving McFarland a go.

The Duff

Allison Rose | Jun 09, 2015

While The Duff will never be as iconic as Clueless, Mean Girls, or The Breakfast Club, it is a solid effort into the continuing genre of high school angst films.

Jupiter Ascending

Nathan M Rose | Jun 02, 2015

While Jupiter Ascending shows small moments of brilliance throughout its 125 minute run-time, it isn’t enough to pull this mess out of the black hole of bad science fiction space opera films that should never had been made.
