(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...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/14/2016 2:57 PM EDT If you look up the word criminal in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, you will find an adjective meaning "involving illegal activity: morally wrong". From this, one would ascertain a movie with the word as its title would involve either of the above mentioned descriptions, which it does. However, it's difficult to figure out whi... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 4/11/2016 2:25 PM EDT Six years ago, a little known show named Archer was showcased during San Diego Comic Con, and the rest, shall we say, is history. This zany, crazy, adult-themed comedy follows the adventures of Sterling Archer, an independent contractor, and his operatives.After a detour last year with Archer Vice, the writing team seems to be back on track, this t...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/7/2016 10:57 AM EDT For me, Melissa McCarthy is hit or miss. Sometimes I like her stuff; other times I don't. Mike and Molly was funny enough. Bridesmaids was hysterical and her character was great. Spy was another example of a fun and entertaining McCarthy movie. However, The Heat and Tammy were both awful and torturous to sit through. S... Read More |

While Lionsgate turns it's sights to try to start up other franchises in it's wake, it also has released the four- film series in a box set for the fans.For those uninformed, The Hun... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/29/2016 10:03 AM EDT In 1991, a movie called Point Break hit theaters and starred Keanu Reeves (The Matrix), Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing) and Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon). It was a surfer's/stoner's dream and has a cult-like following. In 2015, someone at Warner Brothers Entertainment thought it would be a good idea to remake the film but using all ex... Read More |
 
(Sean Ferguson) 3/28/2016 4:06 PM EDT "What would make a man brave a blizzard, and kill in cold blood, I'm sure I don't know. You'd be surprised what a man would do."But with Tarantino at the helm, you know people are gonna die!The Hateful Eight, ironically Quentin Tarantino's eighth major motion picture, is out now on Blu-ray and DVD. If you missed your ... Read More |
(Eric English) 3/28/2016 1:02 PM EDT Few spectacles of screen transcend generations with as much cultural reverberations as Star Wars. To revel in its current incarnation is to return to its roots as an experimental space opera, crafted in the mind of a man who would come to be both revered and despised for following his calling.Spanning the gamut of nearly four decades from the belov...

(Nathan M Rose) 3/25/2016 11:50 AM EDT Those lovable chipmunks are back, and this time they are headed on a Road Trip, or, aptly called in the chipmunk vernacular, "A Road Chip"Dave has decided it is time for The Chipmunks to settle down in life and concentrate more on being teenagers than living the life of musicians. Aside from that, not much has changed for our little... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/24/2016 11:33 PM EDT How well do you really know your friends and neighbors? They live among us, hiding in plain sight. In the 1980's cold war era, Russian spies infiltrate American society and feed intelligence back to the KGB and other countries. Trained to "blend in" these seemingly normal Americans could be anyone you know. That is the p... Read More |
