A Bad Moms Christmas

(Jennifer Broderick) 2/6/2018 8:49 AM EDT
Universal Pictures loves to give us interactive movies with which we can all relate and really immersive sequels. A Bad Moms Christmas definitely fits into that category. While a little over the top and much exaggerated in the plot as to how moms react in real life, the underlying frustration of having to do it all and do it perfect... Read More

Dunkirk

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/18/2017 5:01 PM EDT
There is a plethora of movies about World War II, Wonder Woman, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Pearl Harbor- just to name a few. We are obsessed with the superheroes, the love story, the underdog, and the victims of that time period. We immerse ourselves in the romanticization of the drama and stories that are derived fro...

Game of Thrones: The Complete Seventh Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/12/2017 10:02 AM EDT
Season Seven means only seven episodes of the highly acclaimed and much-anticipated Game of Thrones and with only one more season announced, Season Seven is one to revel in and absorb every single detail because as the catchphrase of this protolithic series has changed, so has changed the Game for the Iron Throne. "Winter is here" and the... Read More

Despicable Me 3

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/4/2017 5:13 PM EDT
Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment are bringing us the third movie in the Despicable Me franchise this holiday season. This is clearly not the last movie, as the fourth is scheduled to be released in 2024, which after watching number 3, is exciting. Despicable Me 3 built upon the franchise, introduced new characters and further devel... Read More

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

(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

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

(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

The Crown: The Complete First Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/7/2017 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...

Cars 3

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/6/2017 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

Spider-Man: Homecoming

(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...

Reign: The Complete Fourth Season

(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... Read More
