(Jennifer Broderick) 11/28/2017 5:17 PM EDT J.K. Rowling came up with a brilliant idea- a boy who is a wizard and gets into a load of scrapes with his friends. The story continues in the second book and therefore, the second movie, courtesy of - or should we say luckily enough- provided by Warner Bros. Studios. Harry Potter is a mix of fantasy and adventure and mystery ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 11/27/2017 7:34 PM EDT Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is really the first movie in the Harry Potter Franchise where we can really see that Harry Potter would be lost without his friends. He is a true Gryffindor- loyal to all his friends and brave to the point of sometimes stupidity (which is why we love Harry Potter)- but clearly not so much as cut out for Rav... Read More |
 
(Jennifer Broderick) 11/07/2017 10:53 AM EDT Netflix has created an empire all unto themselves with their Netflix originals- both with their movies and television series. A unique feature of Netflix is that they refuse to release their shows on a weekly basis, letting their viewers binge the show all at once. Thank goodness for that, because The Crown, a story abou...

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/06/2017 11:46 AM EDT Let's all admit it. By the time a franchise is into its third sequel, the audience starts wondering if it's really worth spending the time and money going to see movie number three. It's a good thing that the writers and directors of Cars 3 are a step (or two) above other franchises because Cars 3 is going so fast, n... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 10/16/2017 9:17 AM EDT Spider-Man: Homecoming is a reboot of the many versions of the Peter Parker/Spider-Man story we have all previously seen over the years. Instead of just taking the traditional story with Peter's uncle being killed and spinning a new version from there, the writers decided to show us what Peter went through trying to figure out his Spide...

(Jennifer Broderick) 10/10/2017 12:00 PM EDT It's an epic tale- two women cousins who have never met, both fighting to retain their crowns while being pushed by other kingdoms to claim the others. It's a time of deceit, love, passion, and loyalty. An era of two women who seemed to be just pawns in a big game of chess- but unbeknownst to the game maker, the pawns come up with a pla...

(Jennifer Broderick) 09/19/2017 10:53 AM EDT Warner Bros. and DC Comics have created a cult culture following that I want to be a part of. More importantly, I want my kids to be a part of this cult culture. Between the two mega companies, they have brought comic book characters to life in a way that the Saturday morning cartoons of the 1960's and beyond failed to do. Th... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 09/06/2017 8:55 PM EDT Probably the best family-oriented superhero television show on the air has captivated a new generation of DC Comic followers and has regenerated interest with the older generations. Grabbing our attention at lightning speed with great storylines, a lighthearted romance that can be appreciated by all ages, as well as family values, Warner Bros... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 09/06/2017 10:41 AM EDT There are many superhero shows on television and on the big screen lately and some even give us a little bit of background on how the superhero got his/her start. None are so rich in storyline and detail as the network television show, Gotham, about to start its fourth season. Not only do we get to see the start of Bruce Wayne grow into... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 08/29/2017 11:22 AM EDT Warner Premiere, in conjunction with DC Comics, brings us back into the 1970's with an adult-ish type Batman movie. Despite the recommendation for ages 13 and older, I would definitely know your child before letting them watch this. Many things are implied, but it doesn't take much imagination to figure out what is going on, which is a defini... Read More |
