Beauty and the Beast (2017) Neil Rosen Overall, they've done a decent job, it's just not the masterpiece that the original was.

1.5/4
Kong: Skull Island (2017) Neil Rosen If all you're looking for is visually impressive non-stop action, and you don't care about story, dialogue or characters, then go. But I need a lot more out of a movie.

Live by Night (2016) Neil Rosen Maybe it doesn't quite gel into a perfect film, but it's still worth watching as the storyline and fate of the main character do manage to grab you, along with several captivating scenes.

Patriots Day (2016) Neil Rosen Ultimately, Patriots Day looks at how the city and its law enforcement officials came together in the face of this horrible tragedy.

Hidden Figures (2016) Neil Rosen Ultimately, it is a very satisfying movie, with historical significance, and it is great to see these women finally get their due.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) Neil Rosen From a visual standpoint it's stunning, as the production values are a real knockout. Plus the battle scenes are really well executed. That said the plot is not always that engaging.

3/4
La La Land (2016) Neil Rosen Writer/director Damien Chazelle, whose last film was Whiplash, has made a movie that's visually amazing, awash in vibrant colors, while the camera magnificently swirls around the stars as they sing and dance.

Lion (2016) Neil Rosen Director Garth Davis has taken this incredible, real life tale and made an emotionally involving film that pulls on your heartstrings every step of the way.

Allied (2016) Neil Rosen The film is lensed beautifully, while attention to period detail is superb in all areas, from the costumes to the production design, expertly evoking the era.

3/4
Bleed for This (2016) Neil Rosen If it wasn't based on a true story you could easily dismiss this film. But the fact that this really did happen sort of changes everything, and watching Vinny's remarkable comeback, along with sensational acting, gives audiences a lot to root for here.

2/4
Loving (2016) Neil Rosen Sadly, the historical significance of the event gets somewhat shortchanged in the low-key approach that this filmmaker has taken, making Loving, for the most part. a missed opportunity.

The Paperboy (2012) Neil Rosen The Paperboy doesn't deliver.

3/4
By Sidney Lumet (2015) Neil Rosen Filled with an abundance of film clips from Lumet's vast body of work and interesting behind the scenes stories from Lumet, the movie will mainly be of interest to film buffs and fans of the heralded directors movies.

3.5/4
Moonlight (2016) Neil Rosen It's a touching film that sensitively explores one person's search to find out who he is.
Posted Oct 21, 2016  Edit critic review
2/4
The Accountant (2016) Neil Rosen The supporting cast, which includes JK Simmons, Jeffery Tambor and John Bernthal are fine, and it's intriguing and fun for a time. But the ludicrous ending kind of ruined the whole experience for me.

3.5/4
The Birth of a Nation (2016) Neil Rosen The movie should be seen. It manages to involve you, makes a powerful statement and it's a story that needs to be told.
Posted Oct 07, 2016  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Deepwater Horizon (2016) Neil Rosen Judged strictly as a big-budget action film, we've seen it all before in dozens of other movies, and it's boring and uninvolving.
Posted Sep 30, 2016  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Magnificent Seven (2016) Neil Rosen The emotion and heart of the movie gets lost in an all the action. But the stars make it kind of entertaining at times, and if all you're looking for is a violent shoot em' up Western with a high body count, it fits the bill.

4/4
The Beatles: Eight Days a Week -- The Touring Years (2016) Neil Rosen For Beatles fans and as a history lesson for kids, should you take this ticket to ride? I say 'Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!'
Posted Sep 16, 2016  Edit critic review
3/4
Sully (2016) Neil Rosen As Sully, Hanks is perfectly cast. It's a well-crafted, understated performance as a man who's haunted by the incident, cool and calm under pressure and uncomfortable in the role of hero.

2/4
Max Rose (2013) Neil Rosen Lewis does some nice work here, but the film itself, written and directed by Daniel Noah, is maudlin and a downer.

4/4
War Dogs (2016) Neil Rosen Mature, sharp, insightful and funny.

Hands of Stone (2016) Neil Rosen Despite some clichd moments, it is enjoyable, and I would recommend it for the acting and the historical significance.
Posted Aug 26, 2016  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) Neil Rosen Streep is fun to watch, singing badly and being oblivious to her headache inducing sounds. Hugh Grant is also quite good, making sure Florence lives a sheltered life and never finds out the truth that her voice stinks.

2.5/4
Get On Up (2014) Neil Rosen The narrative is unsatisfying as it leaves lots of unanswered questions.
Posted Aug 17, 2016  Edit critic review
1.5/4
About Alex (2014) Neil Rosen Most of the characters are superficial and underdeveloped, while the film itself is filled with predictable scenarios. Strong performances by the cast elevate the material, but it's simply not enough.

3/4
The Trip to Italy (2014) Neil Rosen It's very smart and entertaining, and if Coogan, Brydon and Winterbottom want to do a third film, I'd be more than happy to take another ride with them.
Posted Aug 17, 2016  Edit critic review
2/4
The One I Love (2014) Neil Rosen Ultimately the surreal concept is half-baked and poorly executed, which will take audiences out of the movie all leading to an unsatisfying conclusion.
Posted Aug 17, 2016  Edit critic review
3/4
This Is Where I Leave You (2014) Neil Rosen The stellar cast is first rate, elevating whatever weaknesses there are in the material, and the overall result is an endearing, dysfunctional family that you'll enjoying spending a few hours with.
Posted Aug 17, 2016  Edit critic review
4/4
Men, Women & Children (2014) Neil Rosen The entire cast all turn in first-rate performances, as Reitman has given us a finely executed and fascinating cautionary tale that leaves lots of food for thought.

4/4
Gone Girl (2014) Neil Rosen Novelist Flynn nicely adapts her book to the screen, remaining predominately faithful to her source material.
Posted Aug 16, 2016  Edit critic review
2/4
Suicide Squad (2016) Neil Rosen The production values are quite good, and so is the fun, pop music score. But there's a lot of action scenes, and that shortchanges the storyline. It could have also used more doses of humor.

2/4
Jason Bourne (2016) Neil Rosen Fans of the series will enjoy the chase scenes, but story-wise it's nowhere near as satisfying as some of its predecessors.
Posted Jul 29, 2016  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Star Trek Beyond (2016) Neil Rosen If that's what you're looking for -- basically a shoot 'em up set amongst the stars -- then it's fun and fits the bill. But true Star Trek fans will not really be satisfied, as the higher, thought provoking ideas are missing.
Posted Jul 22, 2016  Edit critic review
2/4
The Secret Life of Pets (2016) Neil Rosen Pets is basically a by the numbers, pretty predictable, perfunctory movie that will appeal to kids aged eight to twelve. However, adults will be pretty much left out in the cold.

2/4
Ghostbusters (2016) Neil Rosen The fault lies not with the new cast; it's the lackluster script and the mediocre movie that they're saddled with.
Posted Jul 15, 2016  Edit critic review
1.5/4
The BFG (2016) Neil Rosen The two-hour running time drags as this Spielberg misfire winds up being uninspiring and tedious.
Posted Jul 01, 2016  Edit critic review
2/4
Man of Steel (2013) Neil Rosen It's bland and boring.
Posted Jun 20, 2016  Edit critic review
3/4
Warcraft (2016) Neil Rosen It is not in the same league as Toy Story 3, Up or Ratatouille, but it is still a worthwhile effort, worthy of bearing the Pixar name, and an admirable sequel to its predecessor.
Posted Jun 17, 2016  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Frozen (2010) Neil Rosen Overall, it's a one note premise, where the characters, stuck up on a lift, have nowhere to go and quite fittingly the movie in turn, goes nowhere.
Posted Jun 14, 2016  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Neil Rosen What Abrams has given us is the gravy without the meat and potatoes.
Posted Jun 14, 2016  Edit critic review
3/4
The Witness (2015) Neil Rosen It's a fascinating documentary that debunks the myth as it tries to separate fact from fiction and in the process offers up an eye opening history lesson.
Posted Jun 10, 2016  Edit critic review
2/4
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) Neil Rosen It is a smart idea and it is ambitious. It is just too bad that it wasn't funnier.
Posted Jun 03, 2016  Edit critic review
3/4
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Neil Rosen Fassbender, Lawrence and McAvoy class up the proceedings, and along with a cast of younger mutants and a surprise cameo, make it a lot of fun.

2.5/4
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) Neil Rosen Overall, Neighbors 2 is not as good as the original, but fans of the first film will still find enough humor here to make it worth a look.

2.5/4
Elstree 1976 (2015) Neil Rosen It wears out its welcome after about an hour. It also raises a few questions that are left unanswered. But there's still enough here to make it worth a look for fans.

The Family Fang (2015) Neil Rosen Kidman gives one of her best performances in years.

The Jungle Book (2016) Neil Rosen What director Jon Favreau has done here is dazzling and spectacular.
Posted Apr 22, 2016  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016) Neil Rosen If you look past the laughs, partying and hijinks, you will see that Linklater is going for something more; a philosophy of being in the present and not trying too hard to figure out your entire life when you are only 18.
