Until earlier this year, Deadpool was just known to the legion of die hard comic book fans around the world. However, In February of 2016 the general public was introduced to the "Merc with a Mouth" and the world has never been the same.In case you haven't heard of Deadpool before, he is nothing like any other superhero you have ever ...

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/19/2016 5:17 PM EST
Crude, rude, obnoxious and offensive are all accurate adjectives to describe Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. As if the first film wasn't awful, yet funny enough, the second continues in the same vein of sophomoric frat humor. While not quite as good as the first one, the sequel will remind viewers of all of the things they liked about... Read More

The Nice Guys

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/19/2016 2:17 PM EST
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...

The Witch

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/16/2016 11:38 PM EST
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

Money Monster

(Judith Raymer) 5/12/2016 11:02 AM EST
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

Joy

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/10/2016 4:41 PM EST
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

Independence Day

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

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
