Many also consider him to be one of the greatest Brits of all time. He led England through Hitler and the volatile times of World War II. He was also known for drinking too much and being more than a bit eccentric and he could be mean... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/20/2018 8:11 AM EDT Homelessness in the United States has reached staggering proportions and shattered our normal perception of what a homeless person looks like.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/13/2018 8:32 AM EDT We have all heard the saying "kids can be cruel". This is especially true for middle school-aged children.

(Jennifer Broderick) 02/06/2018 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.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/06/2018 8:10 AM EDT Everyone knows the events of that fateful day in November 1963. As President Kennedy's motorcade made its way down the street in Texas, shots rang out and numerous lives were changed forever. Closely behind the President's car was Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice President of the United States. Within hours, he would take the oath ... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 01/30/2018 11:20 AM EDT Ken Russell (Altered States, The Devils) is possibly the most difficult Director to digest. He is, at once, profound and profane, simple and complex, acrimonious and pleasant. Ken Russell was many things, but boring was not one of them.
