(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/19/2016 2:17 PM EDT Writer/Director Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) is known for his spy/police/private investigator stories with two males as the lead characters. His writing is often funny, wry and, at times, sophomoric. Luckily, his latest work, The Nice Guys, serves up more of this same formula that has worked so well for him in the past.Holland Marc...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/16/2016 11:38 PM EDT While The Witch garnered critical acclaim when it debuted in theaters in February of this year, it was met with less than enthusiastic audience ratings. After having viewed the movie, I have been contemplating it, and the more I separate myself from the film, the more I can see how it would be praised form a cine... Read More |
 
(Judith Raymer) 5/12/2016 11:02 AM EDT I was a little apprehensive about tackling this one... having George Clooney and Julia Roberts in the same flick. There are exceptions, but the good majority of their films are vehicles for box office draws. Even their serious work can come off as a polished Hollywood tale wrapped with that film gift bow (read: guaranteed money maker).&... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/10/2016 4:41 PM EDT Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games), Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook), and Robert DeNiro (The Intern) have teamed up several times on film in the last few years. Their latest venture is a semi-true story about a down-on-her-luck single mother who invents a new way to mop the floor.... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/10/2016 11:40 AM EDT It's been 20 years since Bill Pullman (American Ultra) uttered those now famous words "Today we celebrate our independence day", and made the world fall in love with a new, timeless classic movie – Independence Day. Now, in anticipation of this summer's sequel, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has released a sp... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/5/2016 11:08 AM EDT Everyone is talking about it… #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan. Where do you fall on the spectrum, or do you not even care? If you don't, you should, as Captain America: Civil War seems to be one of 2016's blockbusters. Garnering praise aplenty, movie goers will flock to the theaters to see it at least once in the next month and they won... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/28/2016 4:13 PM EDT Based on the 2002 novel by Michael Punke, The Revenant is aptly named. Defined as "a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead", the film explores the life and (almost) death of trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio; Titanic). While loosely based on Glass's life, the book and movie fantasize h... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/26/2016 4:14 PM EDT When you think of holiday horror movies, you don't often think of Christmas. However, if you've ever heard the Austrian Folklore about a horned, half goat-half demon creature that punishes children who misbehave and don't believe in Saint Nicholas anymore, then you realize the story lends itself to a creepy, horror tale. Universal Studi... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 4/26/2016 9:00 AM EDT Back in January 2014, a quirky little comedy called Ride Along, starring Ice Cube (22 Jump Street, Barbershop: The Next Cut ) and Kevin Hart (Get Hard, Central Intelligence ), came out of nowhere and quickly became box-office gold. The story was simple — a hardened Atlanta detective James Payton (Cube), is not too happy wi... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/21/2016 1:32 PM EDT Quick question… if The Huntsman: Winter's War was never made, would we really be missing anything? The short answer is probably not. While there were some good things about the film, there were far more negatives than positives, starting with the question "why?"The prequel/sequel gives us the back-story of who the hunts...
