Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch artist who lived in the middle of the 1600s. While alive, he gained a certain level of regional success but, due to his expensive paint supplies and having a family of eleven children, he died in 1675 leaving his family with a mountain of debt.Henricus Antonius "Han" Van Meegeren was born almost three ce...

The Last Vermeer

(Alyn Darnay) 11/18/2020 10:11 AM EST
Just when you think every interesting story about WWII has been told and retold, along comes another, and this one as compelling as any that came before. "The Last Vermeer", is a tale of mystery, of Art Fraud, and the weeding out of Nazi collaboration at the end of the war. It's also a gripping courtroom drama with twist after twist and a...

LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/17/2020 12:26 AM EST
Star Wars is so much more than just a series of films produced over four decades. It is a multi-million-dollar franchise and a culture all its own. It has nine core movies, numerous spin-off films, cartoons, toys, books, television series, videogames, dolls and so much more. Lego toys are almost three decades older than the Star W... Read More

Once Upon A Snowman

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 10/22/2020 10:06 AM EST
It's hard to believe it has only been seven years since we were introduced to Elsa (Idina Menzel; Rent), Anna (Kristen Bell; The Good Place), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff; Hamilton: An American Musical), and Olaf (Josh Gad; Beauty and the Beast) in Disney's blockbuster, animated film, Frozen. In a short time, the franchise has grown to epic propo... Read More

The Witches

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 10/21/2020 12:00 PM EST
When one hears the name Roald Dahl, one generally thinks of the collection of children's stories he wrote. Dahl usually made the protagonists children with adults portrayed as villains. However, there always seemed to be one adult who was a kind soul that helped the children defeat their enemies.Since Dahl was such a descriptive wr... Read More

Secret Society of Second Born Royals

Disney Channel has had a long history of making movies aimed at tweens and pre-teens. High School Musical, Camp Rock, Princess Protection Project, Lemonade Mouth, Descendants, etc. all were launch pads for their casts to move on to successful careers as adults and continued a legacy of clean, quality television programming from Disney.&...

Enola Holmes

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/21/2020 4:06 PM EST
Back in 1887, when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the private investigator, Sherlock Holmes, I'm sure he never imagined the impact the character would have on all forms of media over 100 years later. From the original short stories and novels to numerous movie and television adaptations, Holmes has become a beloved personality the world over. &... Read More

Miranda July (Me and You and Everyone We Know) is a performance artist, writer, and director who has seen moderate success with independent films over the past fifteen years. She has a quirky sensibility that comes through in her writing and directing style, which gives her a unique perspective when storytelling. Her latest release, Kaj... Read More

Murder In The Woods

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/16/2020 5:02 PM EST
It seems horror films tend to fall into two different sub-genres these days…Jump scares/supernatural elements or blood and guts slasher films. Either one can be very effective depending on your personal taste. Personally, I tend to prefer the former as they are more horror/thriller than gross, bloody bodies. However, the la... Read More

Mulan

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/3/2020 12:14 PM EST
One of the most anticipated film openings of 2020 was supposed to be Disney's live-action version of their 1998 animated movie, Mulan. Originally slated for a Spring 2020 release Mulan had a Hollywood premiere on March 9, 2020. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 lockdown, the film was postponed numerous times until Disney announced ... Read More
