Eye in the Sky

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2016 1:20 PM EDT
War is a polarizing subject. Is it necessary? Do the ends justify the means? For hundreds of years, countries have sent their young adults off to kill or be killed with mixed results. With today's technological advances, the risks of casualties may seem smaller but can actually be just the opposite. Gavin Hood's (End... Read More

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2016 10:44 AM EDT
Opa! Nia Vardalos (Connie and Carla) does it again. A sequel 14 years in the making, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 has all the laughs and emotional baggage we loved the first time around. All of our favorite characters return to remind us of the craziness surrounding the Portokalos family, while they navigate through new challenges&h... Read More

(Sean Ferguson) 3/18/2016 11:37 AM EDT
THIS IS A TRUE STORY. The events depicted took place in Florida in 2016. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred. Open scene. A man sits at his computer working diligently on some advertisement that needs to be finished immediately. Of course ... Read More

There are some movies that are going to make money regardless of if they are good or bad. Allegiant is one of those movies. With a built in audience, and two films preceding it, it is sure to be a winner at the box office. Whether it is good or not is a matter of perspective.In the continuing saga of Tris&... Read More

Victor Frankenstein

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2016 5:08 PM EDT
There have been many retellings of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. There was the classic 1931 version, starring Boris Karloff, the more entertaining spoof Young Frankenstein, starring Gene Wilder and so many other movies in between. The latest twist, Victor Frankenstein, reimagines the story from the perspective of the mad scientist's as... Read More

Peanuts

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2016 9:43 AM EDT
For older generations, The Peanuts cartoon is a classic comic that fills us with a sense of nostalgia as soon as we see those lovable faces. Based on those memories, the idea of putting together a full length film probably seemed like a good one. Tapping into the past with a built in audience while allowing adults to introduce their chi... Read More

10 Cloverfield Lane

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/10/2016 4:49 PM EDT
Anyone who would say 10 Cloverfield Lane is a sequel to 2008's Cloverfield would be wrong. It's more like the long distance cousin…they share a few similarities, but are very different on almost every level. Gone is the shaky, "home video" footage used in the first movie. No more guessing who the enemy is ... Read More

Most people have heard the story of Moby Dick by Herman Melville, but most people have NOT heard the back story behind the creation of this American classic. In the Heart of the Sea, starring Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Benjamin Walker (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), and Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins), as well as being directed b... Read More

Zootopia

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/3/2016 9:26 PM EDT
Known for their cute, fun animated feature films, Disney takes a drastic turn with their new release, Zootopia. Usually shying away from controversial topics, this time they delve in head on to one of the most stressful topics plaguing our country right now - racial tension. Along with other moral messages, the film artfully navig... Read More
