The Mauritanian

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 2/12/2021 9:25 AM EDT
Habeas Corpus, which literally translates to "produce the body" is defined as a court order demanding that a public official (such as a warden) deliver an imprisoned individual to the court and show a valid reason for that person's detention. Lawyers will utilize this technique to find out why their client is being held in ... Read More

Land

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 2/11/2021 3:31 PM EDT
Majestic and beautiful, the Rocky Mountains can be a place of tranquility and peacefulness. It can also be isolating and lonely. While that might seem appealing for various reasons, it is dangerous, especially during the harsh winter months. Land, the new film starring and directed by Robin Wright (The Princess Bride, Wonder Woman), tou... Read More

Judas and the Black Messiah

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 2/10/2021 4:08 PM EDT
Established in 1966, The Black Panther Party was a polarizing and violent presence in the fight for civil rights. During that time, Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya; Get Out), the chairman of the Illinois chapter was betrayed by a low-level thief, Bill O'Neal (LaKeith Stanfield; Sorry to Bother You), who infiltrated the Black Panther organization...

The Little Things

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/28/2021 10:10 AM EDT
I admit it, I am fascinated by serial killers. I question why they do what they do, how their minds work to play out the details of their crimes, what sick satisfaction they get, especially when they torture and murder innocent people. I know experts have said it's having power over their victims that motivates them but it still intrigues me ... Read More

Saint Maud

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/26/2021 7:26 PM EDT
Nurses are often taken for granted. They are with patients sometimes more than the patient's own family and often do what is necessary to make those that are sick feel a little more comfortable. Nurses and home care workers who work with terminally ill patients must be akin to saints, as they take care of individuals who they know will ... Read More

The Marksman

(Alyn Darnay) 1/14/2021 6:08 PM EDT
When I was a kid, about the same age as the character Miguel in this film, my folks gave me a present. It was a box full of numbered little bottles of paint and a canvas outline of a horse in a corral divided up into small sections with numbers corresponding to the paint bottles. It was called "Paint By Numbers" and it was very popular at... Read More

One Night In Miami

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/13/2021 9:29 PM EDT
Four, young, black men walk into a room…it may sound like the beginning of a joke but, in fact, it is the foundation for Regina King's (If Beale Street Could Talk) directorial debut, One Night in Miami. Inspired by true events, the film brings together four Iconic Black men who, in the midst of the Civil Rights movement, wielded great ... Read More

Soul

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/22/2020 5:55 PM EDT
Let's face it…it wouldn't be the holiday season without at least one Disney/Pixar film being released. These family-friendly fares are a perfect way for parents and children (and maybe even grandparents) to spend time together, munching on snacks in a dark theater during the holiday break. Of course, this year will be a l... Read More

Wonder Woman 1984

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/21/2020 10:29 PM EDT
If you were born in the ‘70's you certainly remember Lynda Carter (Sky High) as Wonder Woman on television. You will also (hopefully) remember the mid-1980's. If so, Wonder Woman 1984 will be a stroll down memory lane for you with shoulder pads, tracksuits, and large, curly hairstyles. The highly anticipated sequel once agai... Read More

Promising Young Woman

(Alyn Darnay) 12/21/2020 6:17 PM EDT
They say, "Revenge is a dish best served up cold". If that's the truth, then this film is a most delicious meal. It's quite a raw film at almost every visual and verbal turn and you may want to turn it off somewhere in the beginning, but please don't; ride out any prejudices you may have and I promise you a film experience unl...
