Tom Clancy's Without Remorse

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/28/2021 12:00 PM EDT
Author Tom Clancy (The Hunt for Red October) is known for his thrilling, International / United States security stories, many of which center around one character – Jack Ryan. Twenty-one novels were written by or mostly by Clancy and the character of Ryan has been portrayed by five different actors - Alec Baldwin (Boss Baby), Harrison Ford (T... Read More

The Mitchells vs. The Machines

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/21/2021 9:07 AM EDT
Imagine what would happen if one of the Terminator movies was reimagined into a computer-animated comedy. It would be cheesy, mildly funny, filled with artificial intelligence and some violence disguised behind some cool music and animation. Columbia Pictures decided to make this movie and this week it debuts in select theaters before s... Read More

Solar Opposites Season 2

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/22/2021 1:02 PM EDT
One of the geniuses behind Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland (Reporters), decided to team up with one of the show's writers (Mike McHanan; Star Teck: Lower Deck), and together they created a half an hour adult cartoon for Hulu called Solar Opposites. Like Rick and Morty, the show is crass, obnoxious, inappropriate, and hilariously funny. &n... Read More

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/18/2021 12:00 PM EDT
Once Avengers: Endgame hit theaters ten years of characters and movies came to a glorious yet heartbreaking end. Of course, it left everyone wondering, what's next? We knew a Black Widow was getting the origin treatment and another Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland (Cherry) was on the way but what about the other superheroes? &n... Read More

Zack Snyder's Justice League

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/15/2021 12:00 PM EDT
It was March of 1960 and DC Comics decided to unite some of their biggest superheroes into something called the Justice League. Over the years, the members have varied but their mission had remained the same. With the resurgence of superheroes returning to the big screen, it was only a matter of time before the Justice League got its ow... Read More

For Heaven's Sake

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/4/2021 4:42 PM EDT
It seems every media company is getting into the "streaming" business and this week Paramount joins that ever-growing list with their new channel, Paramount+. The content will include a library of 2,500 movies and 30,000 television episodes, as well as new content. One of those new endeavors is For Heaven's Sake, a multi-part ... Read More

Cherry

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 2/25/2021 12:11 PM EDT
As the saying goes, "War is hell". While it may seem like a rather trite statement to make, those who have lived through it would probably say it is the truth. Grim memories of watching friends get killed, with all the blood and guts that go along with it, or remembering shooting the enemy, haunt many a soldier. Thought ... Read More

Flora & Ulysses

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 2/17/2021 12:06 PM EDT
There is a saying in Hollywood – "Never work with children or animals". However, if you are cast in a Disney production, chances are you will probably work with one or the other or if you are really lucky, both. For Alyson Hannigan (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and Ben Schwartz (Sonic The Hedgehog), the latter version becam... Read More

Bliss

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 2/4/2021 1:02 PM EDT
Bliss. Is defined as "perfect happiness, great joy" so as the saying goes…" ignorance is bliss". The concept behind that quote, in an odd sort of way, is that what we don't know makes us happy, because we are unaware of what we are missing out on in life. If we did, we might wish we had more. However, wh... Read More

Palmer

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/29/2021 12:05 AM EDT
"Family is who you make it". With a tagline like that, you get somewhat of a sense of what the latest Fisher Stevens' (Short Circuit) film, Palmer, is all about. And yet, the movie offers so much more than just a typical family drama. Predictable at points, Palmer radiates with emotion which keeps the audience yearning f... Read More
