(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/18/2018 9:32 AM EDT Actor/ Director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) is known for his quirky, offbeat comedies so it's no surprise that he decided to tackle Darcey Bell's dark comedy/thriller A Simple Favor. Outwardly, It seems like a perfect match as he infuses his personality into every thread of the movie but there is a seriousness that permeates which is some... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 4:58 PM EDT In order to bring us the thriller Venom, Columbia Pictures, Sony, and Marvel worked in conjunction and from the previews, Venom looked like the typical alien type scary movie. I was very unsure of how it would set itself apart from all the other alien movies but Venom brings out the alien in everyone and is actually a carefully scripted cohe... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:59 AM EDT Racial profiling is an issue that seems to be plaguing this country more and more in the past few years. Young, male minorities end up on the wrong side of an argument and are senselessly killed when a person in authority pulls a gun unnecessarily. We have seen numerous news reports about it happening and several films based on this typ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:11 AM EDT Semper Fidelis – Always Loyal… That is the motto of the United States Marine Corps. Unless you have served as a Marine, you cannot really understand what that means. Up until now, our perception of what being a marine is like is what we have seen in the media. Movies like Full Metal Jacket and Born on The 4th of July ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 12/15/2018 6:31 PM EDT Parents will do almost anything for their children, but sometimes a grieving parent will do more than anything because they have no choice. They break the law, they don't care about consequences, and revenge replaces the word justice in a parents mind. Lakeshore Entertainment and Universal Pictures provide a grim portrayal of what...

(Maureen Buccellato) 12/13/2018 9:47 AM EDT HBO's Westworld premiered in 2016. Based on 1973's film by the same name, the series became very popular for the network, and with a star-filled cast, as well as a surprisingly timely plot, it's not hard to see why.In a time where we are constantly connected to the world around us and are given the instant gratification that the interne...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/11/2018 10:30 AM EDT It is a well-known fact in Hollywood that Denzel Washington (Fences) never reprises a role or makes a sequel to any of his films so it was a big surprise when it was announced he would be returning as Robert McCall for the second installment of The Equalizer. The beloved, yet quirky, character from the 2014 movie was destined to be back as th... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/5/2018 11:41 AM EDT In the 1980s panic gripped the United States as the HIV and AIDS epidemic reached epic proportions, killing a large part of the gay male population. For over two decades afterward discrimination against those infected with the disease played a prevalent part in the dialogue of the Country. In 1993 the first major feature film showcased ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/3/2018 10:07 PM EDT In 1966 a new television show debuted on CBS called Mission: Impossible. It aired for seven seasons and had a revival for two more seasons on ABC beginning in 1988. Then in 1996, Tom Cruise (Risky Business) brought the concept to the big screen in a film adaptation of the show. Over the next twenty-two years he has played Ethan Hu... Read More |
