Blended
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/26/2014 11:31 PM EDT Blended – I am not an Adam Sandler fan. I have never seen "Happy Gilmore", "Billy Madison" or "The Wedding Singer" and I only got about 30 minutes through "Jack and Jill" before turning it off. Based on my bias, while I liked "50 First Dates", I wasn't looking forward to sitt... Read More |
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/26/2014 11:13 PM EDT If you're looking for a bit of nostalgia, the 1971 Disney Classic "Bedknobs and broomsticks" has been released on Blu-ray and DVD.

Muppets Most Wanted
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/12/2014 9:07 AM EDT Muppets Most Wanted is anything but. Like so many movie sequels it doesn't come close to the original, or in this case, the first movie in the most recent reboot of the Muppets. Watching the Muppet show growing up was always fun and I am inclined to love almost anything Muppets but this sequel just wasn't good. I kept looking for ... Read More |
Need For Speed
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/06/2014 9:41 AM EDT If you are a designer car buff and a car racing enthusiast then "Need For Speed" is a movie you definitely want to see. From fast, exotic cars to beautiful scenery from all over the United States the movie won't disappoint the avid Nascar, muscle car and street racing fan.

The Other Woman
![]() (Sean Ferguson) 08/05/2014 2:56 PM EDT I always find it interesting when a film comes out "Starring" someone and the supporting actor or actress steals the thunder away from the main star. And so it goes with Twentieth Century Fox's release of "The Other Woman" starring Cameron Diaz being released to BluRay & DVD this week! In all honesty, it should be "Star... Read More |
