Avengers: Endgame

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2019 7:00 PM EST
Yes, people die…just like in real life. Yes, some superheroes come back to continue on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yes, some don't. It's been eleven years and twenty-one movies in the making and now we get to watch as the Avengers battle Thanos for control of the galaxy. It's easy to say that Avengers: E... Read More

Destroyer

Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain) is such a versatile actor that one could imagine her playing almost any type of role. She was Satine in Moulin Rouge! and English author Virginia Wolf in The Hours won an Oscar for her performance in the film. Therefore it's no surprise that she fully engrosses her self in her late...

Alien

The year was 1979. The director was a mostly unknown individual named Ridley Scott (Blade Runner). The film, that changed the future look and ideas of what creatures should look and act like, was called Alien. The movie became a huge hit and made both Scott and the film's star, Sigourney Weaver (Avatar), household names. ... Read More

The Kid Who Would Be King

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/18/2019 11:55 AM EST
The legend of King Arthur and Excalibur has been around for ages. The story of the sword in the stone that can only be removed by the rightful heir has been told time and again. There are books written, movies made and television shows that tell the tale of the boy that freed the sword, became king and along with his most trusted a... Read More

Missing Link

Laika Studio was founded in 2005 and for the past ten years they have been thrilling audiences with their stop motion animation feature film. With their first feature, Coraline, they received an academy award nomination and doubled their sixty million dollar budget. ParaNorman, their second movie, also garnered an Oscar nomination and critica... Read More

Vice

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/9/2019 5:02 PM EST
Dick Cheney (Christian Bale; The Dark Knight) spent much of his political career flying under the radar despite the fact that he held some of the highest political offices there are in Washington, D.C. Perhaps that is due to the fact that the man himself was very secretive - a trait that would serve him well in his later years. After le... Read More

Project Blue Book Season 1

Josef Allen Hynek was born in 1931 in Chicago and earned his PhD. from Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin. He became a professor at Ohio State University and taught astronomy until one day in 1948 when the United States Air Force enlisted his help to bring credibility to some otherwise unexplainable, unusual events. He spent year debunking... Read More

Dumbo

In the past five years, The Walt Disney Studio has been reworking their animated classics and turned them into live action features. While many (myself included) were skeptical at first, Disney has managed to create some wonderful films that the whole family can enjoy, whether seeing it for the first time or reminiscing about the stories...

Aquaman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/26/2019 8:55 AM EST
In 1941 Aquaman was introduced in a backup feature of the DC comics. Over the years he was more of a minor character in the DC Universe even though he is part of the Justice League. In the past, he was drawn as a blonde haired, fair skinned pretty boy who rode a seahorse. He was taken very seriously over the years even in the Saturday m... Read More
