(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/27/2016 11:06 AM EDT As a commentary on today's world where most of us are in a zombie like state staring at our electronic devices instead of interacting with those around us, Cell is a meaningful look at what we as a society have become. As a movie based on a Stephen King Novel of the same name, it is a horrible mess that makes little sense. It's taken ab... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/26/2016 5:27 PM EDT You know rap music has finally hit mainstream when it gets its own prime time soap opera. Empire premiered on FOX in 2015 and immediately became a success garnering Golden Globe and Emmy Nominations. Season Two was just as intense at the original, with drama in every one of the eighteen episodes in the season. I wasn't sure how long... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 09/26/2016 11:10 AM EDT Since the 90s, gamers all around the world have fallen in love with the World of Warcraft. Its fan base has reached such fevered levels that there are conventions for the series and people have even been married in the game itself. For years, Warcraft's legion of loyal (some may say fanatical) fans have been clamoring for a theatrical vision of... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/23/2016 1:53 PM EDT It's hard to believe it's been twenty-five years since Beauty and the Beast came to theaters. With its romantic story and beautiful music, it is what we think of as "Classic Disney" and even these many years later, it still holds up. It's no wonder there is a live action version set for next year. But, until then, ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 09/21/2016 11:08 AM EDT Aliens Blu-ray 30th Anniversary Edition features outer space and Sigourney Weaver and makes for one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Can you believe it's been 30 years since Sigourney Weaver graced the movie theaters as Ellen Ripley, the sole survivor of her ship after the catastrophic encounter with the Alien? Who else can...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/20/2016 9:34 AM EDT The Civil War was a time of turmoil and strife in this country, especially for the southern states. The Confederate Army was full of farmers who were not quite sure why they were fighting and while they were away their farms were being ransacked by the very people they were working for. Adding to that, rich slave owners were becoming exempt f... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 09/14/2016 10:57 AM EDT Being released this week on Blu-ray & Digital DVD from Lionsgate Premier films is Marauders, an action film starring Law & Order's Christopher Meloni and Bruce Willis. Now, many may not have heard of it, mainly because it's a straight to Blu-ray release, which would seem odd considering the cast. I mean come on! You have Christopher Meloni ... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 09/13/2016 10:29 AM EDT Let me preface this with a note to all who are reading this: I am not a fan of the Horror Movie Genre. The idea of getting scared in a theater because of a made up ghost or "presence" is ridiculous! I also find it amazing that people shell out $12/$15 to have a cat or something jump into the screen, so they can scream like a teenage girl ... Read More |
