The Sun is Also A Star

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/15/2019 2:26 PM EDT
Do you believe in destiny or fate or love at first sight? Many romantics say they do but how many really feel that spark just from one glance? Are you more of a realistic, practical, scientific person who needs proof before you can accept things as fact? What if two people at opposite ends of the "love" spectrum meet?&nb... Read More

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

(Alyn Darnay) 5/15/2019 10:19 AM EDT
Let's start by saying; if you're a John Wick fan, you won't be disappointed by this latest installment of the franchise. The same goes for Keanu Reeves fans, Halle Berry fans, Action Movie fans, and just plain well-made Pop Movie fans.Right from the very first film, you could tell this opus was always meant to be a franchise; the type of movie seri...

Tolkien

(Alyn Darnay) 5/9/2019 2:17 PM EDT
"In a hole in the ground"…J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, and with those immortal words began the creation of a place known as Middle Earth, a mythological land where Hobbits dwell. "The Hobbit" was published in 1937 and received tremendous critical acclaim. It has been read, taught, admired, loved, and copied ever since.It spawned... Read More

Poms

(Alyn Darnay) 5/9/2019 9:04 AM EDT
I don't know what this film about senior citizens in a retirement community is trying to be, and I don't think it knows either. Is it a comedy, a drama, a tale of female bonding through sports, or is it just about the cattiness of women? Maybe it's trying to be all those things at once, and perhaps that's why it doesn't work for me. Trying to be to... Read More

POKÉMON Detective Pikachu

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/8/2019 2:30 PM EDT
If you are a child of the '90s or are the parent of one then you are surely aware of what Pokemon are. These fictional creatures live in the Pokemon Universe (of course) and have human trainers who catch them and prepare them to battle each other for sport. Each one has unique powers that they can use when fighting. This concept ... Read More

UglyDolls

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/2/2019 1:55 PM EDT
In February 2001 Uglydoll made its way to toy store shelves and was awarded the specialty toy of the year. The concept began because of a long distance relationship between David Horvath and his future wife Sun-Min Kim. The brand became very popular and has now spawned not only an animated feature film but a television series as well. S... Read More

Long Shot

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/1/2019 5:14 PM EDT
Google the definition of a long shot and this is what you will get - a venture or guess that has only the slightest chance of succeeding or being accurate. That idea can pertain to almost anything from a job prospect to asking someone out on a date to winning the lottery. In the case of the new movie from Lionsgate, Long Shot could incl... Read More

Avengers: Endgame

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2019 7:00 PM EDT
Yes, people die…just like in real life. Yes, some superheroes come back to continue on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yes, some don't. It's been eleven years and twenty-one movies in the making and now we get to watch as the Avengers battle Thanos for control of the galaxy. It's easy to say that Avengers: E... Read More

Disneynature Penguins

(Nathan M Rose) 4/15/2019 10:04 AM EDT
Everyone knows about penguins. Almost all of us have seen them in a zoo, a cartoon, or in a film, but how much do we really know other than the fact that they waddle around and are cute? What do we really understand about their lives and mating rituals? Sure we may have seen documentaries about them before but nothing like this on... Read More

Missing Link

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/11/2019 10:15 AM EDT
Laika Studio was founded in 2005 and for the past ten years they have been thrilling audiences with their stop motion animation feature film. With their first feature, Coraline, they received an academy award nomination and doubled their sixty million dollar budget. ParaNorman, their second movie, also garnered an Oscar nomination and critica... Read More
